Should you collect the RV rental the day you land?
Campervan hire depots set their own pickup times, so check yours when booking.
It’s better to spend a night in Munich first, then collect the vehicle rested. Many depots are outside the terminal, so check transfer arrangements.
What happens at the depot?
Staff explain the gas, water, electrics, heating and toilet cassette, and how to use motorhome service points. Photograph any damage, and confirm the emission sticker, cross-border permission and Austrian vignette arrangements.
