Frequently Asked Questions

About the Campervans

How many people can sleep in the campervan and how many seatbelts are there?

Little Cookie has 5 seatbelts and sleeps up to 4 adults, making it a popular choice for families and small groups travelling who want an easy-to-drive RV rental in Ireland. Some guests use the awning tent for a 5th sleeper, and families with young kids often find that 3 children can comfortably share one bed.

The main bed measures 2,000 x 1,500 mm, while the loft bed under the pop-up roof is 2,000 x 1,200 mm.

Big Cookie has 4 seatbelts and sleeps 2 adults and 2 kids. A small adult may fit in the children’s bunk, but please check the measurements to be sure. The main bed measures 193cm x 136cm, and the kids’ bunk measures 160cm x 122cm on the left side and 190cm x 122cm on the right.

Are the campervans automatic or manual?

All our Dublin campervan rentals are automatic, which is ideal for US visitors who may not be used to driving manual transmission vehicles. Automatics make driving on Ireland’s narrow rural roads more relaxed and comfortable, especially if you normally drive on the right-hand side of the road in the US.

Can I bring my dog or pet in the campervan?

No, we do not currently offer pet-friendly vans.

Camping in Ireland

Where can I park or camp?

Is wild camping allowed in Ireland?

Wild camping isn’t officially permitted in Ireland, but many travellers do it responsibly without issues. We recommend using trusted apps like Park4Night to find suitable overnight parking spots. Always leave no trace—take all rubbish with you and ensure your toilet cassette and grey water are emptied at proper disposal points.

If you wish to use campsite facilities, you’ll need to book in for at least one night.
For added convenience, Cookies Campers provides waste water and toilet cassette disposal at our Dublin premises for all our renters.

A note on protected areas: For example, Keem Beach on Achill Island prohibits camping on the large grassy area known as the Manchair due to erosion concerns.

Where can I Travel?

Can I travel to Northern Ireland or the UK?

Yes, travel within Ireland and Northern Ireland is allowed. We love that our Dublin campervans can travel across the full Island of Ireland ensuring you don’t miss out on any hidden gems.

Unfortunately, our vans cannot travel into the mainland UK or Europe.

Can I take the campervan to a festival?

We generally do not allow campervans to go to festivals.

Do you offer airport transfers?

Not right now, For a quick and direct journey, hop into a taxi waiting at the airport, this will take 25-30 minutes and is by far the easiest way, especially with luggage. Taxi’s cost about €50-60 and are readily available at the airport. The local taxi app is called FreeNow and could be useful to download if you are staying in the city a few days.

Can I leave my car at your depot?

Yes, onsite parking is available for the duration of your trip (limited spaces).

Insurance and Security Deposit

What insurance is included and what is the security deposit?

A refundable €3,000 security deposit (insurance excess) is required and is refunded once the campervan is returned undamaged.

You can reduce the excess to €500 with our optional insurance packages.
