Caravan Hire in Pretoria
Pretoria punches above its weight on Kampi. There's a solid spread of campers across Tshwane, popup trailers if you're travelling light, full touring caravans if the family's coming along, and a fair bit in between. Pickup spots are scattered from Centurion and Midrand through to Brooklyn and the East side, so you won't drive far to collect. What really works in Pretoria's favour is the location. You're already pointed north toward the Waterberg and Kruger, west toward Pilanesberg, or south to the Drakensberg, no fighting through Joburg traffic to get going.

About Pretoria
Head north on the N1 and you'll hit Bela-Bela (Warmbaths) in about an hour, Mokopane in two, and Polokwane in three, all solid Limpopo stops. The N4 east gets you to Kruger's Phabeni Gate in roughly 5 hours. Pilanesberg is 150km south-west via the R21/N14, about 2 hours. Going south, the N1 connects to the N3 for KZN or the N12 for the Free State. And if you just want a quick weekend escape, the Magaliesberg is 90 minutes west on the R114.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the price on Kampi actually cover?
- What you pay is the owner's rate for the camper plus Kampi's service fee for handling the booking and the payment. Where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day; not every camper carries it, some owners carry their own instead, and the camper's own page says which. There is no once-off admin fee. That was Kampi's pricing before 1 July 2026, and a booking made before that date can still show it. Most owners also add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable damage deposit. The camper's own page shows both, and what your dates come to, before you send a request.
- How are the rental days counted?
- Every day of the trip is charged, including the day you collect the camper and the day you bring it back. A Friday to Sunday trip is three days, not two, because both the collection day and the return day count.
- When does the money actually move?
- On most campers, nothing is charged when you send a request. You only pay once the owner approves it, and owners have 3 days to answer. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead and charge as soon as you book, the camper's own page says which. Either way, you pay Kampi online, never the owner directly.
- Do I need a special licence to tow it?
- Not necessarily. Up to 750kg you can tow on an ordinary Code B licence, the same one most drivers already have. Over that you need a Code EB. Every camper's page says which one it needs, and Kampi has a whole page of campers that need no EB at all.
- What if I need to cancel, or something goes wrong?
- Cancel a request before you have paid and nothing is owed, because nothing was ever charged. Once you have paid, cancelling before the trip starts means a non-refundable booking fee of up to R189 may apply, and the rest is refunded according to the camper's policy. Cancelling once the trip has started, or on a listing with no cancellation policy set, refunds nothing at all: not the rate, not the cleaning fee, not the cover. The camper's own page shows its exact cancellation policy before you book, and it is worth reading before you pay.
- Who am I actually renting from?
- A private owner, not a franchise or a depot. Sending a request opens a message thread with them under their name, so you can talk before you pay anything. Their phone number and the exact pickup address open up once you have paid, not at the moment they approve. You collect the camper from them in person. Most owners have had an ID document, proof of address and the camper's papers approved by Kampi before their listing went live, though not every one of them has. There is no corporate credit or background check beyond that. What else stands behind them is the reviews they have earned on Kampi.
- Where do Pretoria camper owners do handover?
- It depends on the owner. Most will meet you at their place or somewhere nearby that's easy to find. You'll get the exact address once the booking is confirmed. A lot of Pretoria owners are based in Centurion, Brooklyn, Menlyn, or the East.
- What types of campers are available in Pretoria?
- Pretty much everything. Popup trailers, tent trailers, full caravans, kitted-out off-road rigs. Pretoria has one of the widest selections on Kampi. Use the type filter to narrow it down for your trip and tow vehicle.
- How much does caravan hire in Pretoria cost?
- It depends on the rig, owners set their own rates. The per-day price is the owner's rate plus our service fee for handling the booking and the payment, and where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day. There is no once-off admin fee. Most owners add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable deposit, both shown on the listing before you book. If you're going for a week or longer, many owners offer discounts, so it gets cheaper per day the longer you go.
- Do I need a special license for a large caravan from Pretoria?
- If the caravan is over 750kg, yes, you'll need a Code EB. But there are plenty of lightweight options (popup trailers, small tent trailers) that work with a standard Code B. Each listing says what you need. Use the 'No EB License' filter to see only Code B options.
