Motorhomes give you space, comfort, and full facilities while travelling through Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are larger than campervans, making them ideal for families and groups who want proper kitchens, bathrooms, and living space on the road. With a motorhome, you can tour rivers, mountains, and lakes while always having a home with you.
Why choose a motorhome
Motorhomes are the right choice if you value space and comfort. Most models include a full bathroom with shower and toilet, separate sleeping areas, a kitchen with fridge and stove, and seating for four to six people. They are bigger than campervans, but still manageable on Bosnian roads with some planning. Families appreciate the room, while groups of friends enjoy the convenience of travelling and sleeping together.
Where to rent motorhomes
Sarajevo
The capital has the widest choice of rental companies. Delivery to the airport or your hotel is common.
Mostar
Some operators provide motorhomes here, useful if you want to explore Herzegovina first.
Banja Luka
A smaller hub but good for northern routes and the Vrbas valley.
Cross-border rentals
Companies based in Croatia or Slovenia sometimes allow pickup or delivery in Bosnia. This can be handy for international travellers.
When to rent
Motorhomes are available year round, though demand is highest from May to September. July and August book up quickly, especially family-sized vehicles. Prices are lower in spring and autumn. Winter rentals are possible, especially for ski trips, but you need winter tyres and chains.
What to expect in motorhomes
Facilities include fixed beds, full kitchens, and private bathrooms. Larger models have bunk beds for children and plenty of storage. Air conditioning and heating are usually included. Insurance is part of the rental, but always check details. Prices usually range from 140–220 BAM (70–110 EUR) per day depending on size and season.
Driving tips
Bosnian roads are mostly two lane, with curves and hills. Drive carefully with large vehicles, especially on mountain routes like Foča or Jajce. Parking in city centres is limited, so use camperparks near Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka. Carry cash for tolls and fuel.
Local flavour
Travelling in a motorhome lets you carry more comfort while still staying in nature. Families often cook meals with fresh produce bought in village markets. Camps welcome motorhomes, offering disposal points and electric hook ups. Hosts are used to larger vehicles and will guide you to the best pitches.
