Financing a Campervan in Ireland
Campervans come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges, from compact converted vans to larger purpose-built models with many of the comforts you would expect at home. How much you need to budget will depend on whether you buy new or used, as well as the campervan's age, condition and specification.
It is worth looking beyond the purchase price when deciding what you can afford. Insurance, tax, fuel, servicing and general maintenance will all contribute to the ongoing cost of ownership. With a used campervan, you may also want to leave some room in your budget for repairs or upgrades.
There are other costs that are easy to overlook too, such as storage when you're not travelling, campsite fees and any camping or leisure equipment you want to add. Considering the full cost of owning and using your campervan can help you decide how much you're comfortable spending and how much you may need to finance.
How Much Does a Campervan Cost in Ireland?
The cost of buying a campervan in Ireland can vary considerably. A smaller or older second-hand campervan can provide a more affordable entry point, while newer and larger models with additional living facilities can require a significantly bigger budget.
Some of the main factors that can affect the price include:
| Cost consideration | What to think about |
|---|---|
| New or used | Used campervans can have a lower purchase price, while newer models may offer newer technology and warranties |
| Size | Compact campervans and larger models can sit at very different price points |
| Age & mileage | These can have a significant impact on the price and potential maintenance requirements |
| Facilities | Kitchens, bathrooms, heating, beds and other living facilities can increase the cost |
| Make & model | Prices vary considerably between manufacturers and individual models |
| Condition | With a used campervan, consider both the mechanical condition and the condition of the living area |
| Additional equipment | Awnings, bike racks, solar panels and other equipment can add to the purchase price |
