Behind every rental there is a Host, a real person who can provide you with all the information you need to know to feel at home. They can interact with Travelers in different ways.
Almost everyone can be a Host and rent their caravan vehicle through Caraving. Registering and publishing a caravan and motorhome rental ad is completely free. All Hosts are expected to meet our quality standards at all times.
Hosts of caravanning vehicles
We require all Hosts offering RV rentals to meet our basic requirements for overall rating, response rate, cancellations and booking acceptance, and we also require Hosts to comply with our Terms and Conditions of Service and additional Terms and Conditions. When booking a caravan vehicle on Caraving, Travelers can read the Host's profile page or reviews from previous bookings to find out what to expect from the Host, such as the languages they speak, their response rate and whether they will be in the same or nearby location. during the rental.
Hosts can publish a wide variety of caravanning vehicles for rent, such as caravans, motorhomes, camper vans, motorhomes, and other options that will be incorporated into the Caraving platform. Some Hosts who are on site or nearby like to greet Travelers personally when they arrive. Others will provide Travelers with all the information they need to know to register and access themselves. Travelers can and should always contact the Host with any questions before or during their rental.
Smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are safety features that save lives. Therefore, our mission is to encourage Hosts to install these detectors in their caravanning vehicle (caravan, motorhome, etc.), test them regularly and inform in the description of the advertisement that you have these security elements.
We also encourage all Hosts to have a fire blanket and fire extinguisher approved and in good condition in the caravanning vehicles.
Please check your local laws for applicable requirements regarding these security measures.
While we encourage Hosts to install them, we do not currently require confirmation that they have been installed.
Information on whether or not a caravanning vehicle has these security measures that Travelers expect to have, can be seen on the page of each advertisement.
Hosts can add or update these details from the Amenities section of their listing, in the Security section.
Hosting a caravanning vehicle (caravan, motorhome, etc.) for rent comes with certain responsibilities. Here are some safety tips to help you along the way.
Interact intelligently
Always make payments, collections and communications with Travelers through Caraving. Use our internal messaging system to meet your Travelers and share expectations about the trip or your caravanning vehicle.
Read the profiles and reviews/ratings of your potential Travelers, look for verified phone numbers and emails. If your potential Travelers do not have verifications on their profile, you can ask them to complete some of them before Pre-accepting the request (Option valid only for ads with the Reservation Request option).
Trust your intuition: If you don't feel comfortable with a reservation request, don't accept it.
You set your rules
Completing your Caravan Vehicle Rules (caravan, motorhome, etc.) helps Travelers know what to expect. Include anything you want people to know before booking, such as whether smoking is allowed (or where), whether there are prohibitions on using any amenities (indoor kitchen, shower, toilet, etc.), or whether Travelers must remove their masks. shoes before entering.
Set requirements for your listing
You may require Travelers to complete certain verifications before booking, such as verifying their identity.
Adding a Bond (security deposit) to your listing can also help protect you in case of damage, such as spilling wine on the sofa.
Remember: In an emergency situation, or if your personal safety is threatened, immediately contact the police or emergency services before contacting our customer service.
When looking for a caravan or motorhome on Caraving, you can narrow down your options by using the filters and reading the listing descriptions to see if they would be suitable for your trip.
To search for a caravanning vehicle:
- Enter your destination, dates and number of Travelers in the caravan and motorhome search engine on the home page. At your destination you can search by campsite name, town, province (state) or autonomous community (region).
- Click Search.
- If you want, you can use the Filters to narrow down your options (price range, amenities, and more). Click More Filters to see all the filters we have available to refine your search.
- Scroll through listings or use the map to find listings posted in your desired location.
- Click on a listing to see all its information. To learn more about that listing, read the description, check the available amenities, review the Owner Policies, and view reviews and ratings from other Travelers.
- If you have any questions, send the Host a message. Alternatively, if you're ready to book, make a Booking Request to the listing Owner (or use Instant Booking if the Owner has this option enabled).
You can also save the caravans and motorhomes that you like the most to your wish list to have them on hand at any time or to share them with your friends.
The first thing would be to do a search from the main page by destination, dates and number of travelers to be able to identify in the list of results which ones accept Reservation Requests and which ones Instant Bookings. To quickly identify them, we have added a yellow lightning bolt icon next to the price per night in those listings that accept Instant Bookings. This way you will know that those listings that do not have a yellow lightning bolt next to the price per night are the ones that accept Reservation Requests.
Once those that accept Reservation Requests have been located:
- Enter the listing to see all its information and reviews.
- If you use a PC, on the right side of the screen you will see a box with the reservation dates and number of travelers and then the "Reservation Request" button. If you are using a smartphone, you will see that same button at the bottom of the page.
- Once you have reviewed the dates, travelers, prices and the Host's rules, you can click on the "Reservation Request" button. You won't have to make any payments yet.
- On the next screen we give you the opportunity to review all the reservation data, cancellation policy, Owner rules, etc. which you will have to accept to send your request to the Host. You will also find a space where you can write to the Host introducing yourself and asking any questions you may have. Click on the "Booking Request" button to send the request to the Host. You won't have to make any payments yet.
- Upon submission, said request will remain in "Pending" status until the Host Pre-accepts it or sends a Special Offer. Don't worry, you still won't be charged anything, nor will you have any obligation to pay it even if the Host Pre-accepts it. Keep looking for other caravaning vehicles as the Host could reject it or simply take a while to respond.
- The Host can Pre-accept it, send a Special Offer (in this case the request would also remain in Pre-accepted status), reject it, or may not respond.
Pre-accepted: Hurry up to accept the reservation so that it is confirmed for you. Please note that the Host still receives Booking Requests from other people and someone could beat you to it if they accept theirs before you.
Pre-accepted with Special Offer: The Host, after speaking with the Traveler, could send a better offer or add the amount of any additional service that the Traveler has requested and the Request would remain in "Pre-accepted" status. The Traveler has 24 hours to accept that Special Offer by confirming it by making payment. After that time the Special Offer will be lost although it will remain Pre-accepted with its original price. Hurry up to accept the reservation so that it is confirmed for you and not lose it as in the previous case of "Pre-accepted".
Rejected: The Traveler will have to find another caravanning vehicle to reserve.
Host does not respond: The Host has 24 hours to Pre-accept, send a Special Offer or reject the request. If after that time, the Host has not taken action, this request would become expired. That is why we recommend that you do not stop searching and save other options that you like to your "Wish List", in case the time comes you have to look for an alternative caravanning vehicle.
You can see the status of your requests at any time from "Trips" - "Pending requests".
The first thing will be to do a search for caravans and motorhomes from the main page, noting the destination, dates and number of Travelers to see what caravanning vehicles are available according to the search criteria used.
- Identifies listings that accept "Instant Reservations".
- Once you've decided, click the "Instant Book" button (you won't be charged yet).
- Review the details of the Reservation you are going to make, write a message to the Host introducing yourself so he can get to know you a little better.
- Next select your preferred payment method (debit and credit card or Paypal). If you select payment by card, simply add the details of the card with which you are going to make the payment. If you select Paypal as a payment method, you will be redirected to the secure Paypal page so that you can identify yourself with your access information and continue with the secure payment.
- If you selected to pay by card, all you have to do is "accept" the conditions and proceed with the payment by clicking on the "Accept and continue" button. At this time you will be charged for the total reservation and the reservation will be confirmed.
The Deposit will not be charged to you during the reservation process.
If everything went well with the payment, your caravan or motorhome rental reservation will have been automatically confirmed at that moment and you will both receive an email with the confirmation.
At the moment the reservation is confirmed, you will both have access to the other party's contact details and the exact address will be visible.
Ratings and Reviews on Caraving
At Caraving, the rating and review system is designed to promote trust and transparency between Hosts and Travelers. After each rental, both parties have the opportunity to evaluate each other, helping to maintain high-quality standards on the platform.
Rating Process
- Review Submission Period: From the minute following the departure time stated in the listing, both the Traveler and the Host have 14 days to write their review. During this period, reviews can be edited if necessary.
- Review Visibility: Reviews remain hidden until both parties have submitted theirs. Once both the Traveler and the Host have written their reviews, they will become visible and public on the website. If only one party submits a review and the other does not within the 14-day period, the written review will be automatically published at the end of this period.
How to Write a Review
- Access Your Account: Log in to Caraving.
- Go to the "Reviews" Section: Here, you can view the reviews you have received, the ones you have written, and those still pending.
- You can also access this section from your reservation.
- Select the Reservation: Find the reservation you wish to review.
- Write Your Review: Click on "Write Review" and complete the form by providing a rating and detailed feedback about your experience.
- Submit Your Review: Once finished, send it, and it will be displayed according to the conditions mentioned above.
Importance of Reviews
Reviews help the Caraving community make informed decisions and maintain high-quality standards on the platform. We encourage providing honest and constructive feedback to benefit future users.
For more details, feel free to contact our customer support team.
We know how much you take care of your caravan or motorhome and that is why you like to choose who can rent it and who cannot.
In order to choose your Travelers, DO NOT ever use the Instant Booking option, since this way, once the Traveler makes the reservation and pays, that reservation will be confirmed and canceling a confirmed reservation will generate cancellation fees or penalties.
In order to select Travelers, you will have to use the "Reservation Request" option. This way, when you receive a Request, you can use our internal messaging system to communicate with them and get to know them better so you can make the best decision.
*Texts translated with Google Translate.
Ask them everything you need to know to determine if they are the type of person you would rent your RV to. You can also ask them to verify, through Caraving, their contact information or documentation if they have not done so already.
If you think the person is correct for the rental, Pre-accept the Reservation Request so that the Traveler can confirm it by making the payment. You could also send them a Special Offer, thus being Pre-accepted automatically.
Otherwise, if for any reason you consider that they are not the most suitable person to rent your caravanning vehicle, simply reject the Reservation Request. Don't worry, rejecting a Reservation Request does not entail any type of penalty.
Instinct does not usually fail, follow your instinct.
We have grouped all the information about the Host Cancellation Policies together with that of the Travelers on the Caraving Cancellation Policies page. There you will find both the penalties for letting reservation requests expire and the penalties for canceling confirmed reservations.
We are aware that unforeseen events happen and on very rare occasions Hosts are forced to cancel a reservation that they have already confirmed. We also know of the disruption that these cancellations cause to Travelers and the loss of confidence in Caraving that this can generate.
That is why from Caraving, in order to offer greater confidence and security in the reservations of our Travelers, Hosts who cancel confirmed reservations or are considered responsible for a cancellation could incur expenses (penalty). Before canceling a reservation from the Host's account, if you as the Host believe that you are not responsible for said cancellation, you must call our customer service to explain the situation.
Remember that rejecting a Reservation Request will not be considered a cancellation and will not generate any penalty for the Host.
To maintain the good reputation and health of the Web Platform, Caraving will also penalize the Host when they allow Reservation Requests to expire. In order not to be penalized for this reason, the Host must only Pre-accept, Reject or send a Special Offer to the Traveler within the stipulated period.
If at Caraving and at our discretion, we determine that there is an excess of reservation cancellations or unjustified expired requests, thus disrupting the Travelers' plans, both the Host user account and all of their advertisements may be deactivated.
You can see all penalties and deadlines on Caraving's Cancellation Policies page.

How to Set the Ideal Price for Renting Your Caravan on Caraving
Setting a competitive price for renting your static caravan at a campsite is essential to attract Travelers and maximize bookings on Caraving. In this article, we provide practical tips and a success story to help you set a realistic and market-aligned price.
1. Analyze Market Prices
Before determining your price, research rental rates for other static caravans in your region or campsites where you plan to install it.
- Compare Similar Caravans: Consider factors such as size, capacity, amenities (such as air conditioning, slide-out, awning, tent, kitchen, shower, or outdoor furniture), whether it has competition in its area, whether it is located in an area with high or low demand, and its condition, among other factors.
- Explore Multiple Platforms: Don’t limit your research to Caraving listings. Check other platforms, second-hand marketplaces, social media rental groups, and websites dedicated to caravan rentals. Keep in mind that prices for caravans designed for travel are often slightly higher. A broader analysis will help you establish a truly competitive price.
Offer Attractive Prices: Remember that Travelers have many rental options and will gravitate toward caravans offering good value for money.
2. Account for Travelers’ Additional Expenses
Renting caravans isn’t the only cost Travelers face. They’ll also need to pay campsite fees and additional services, such as electricity, provided by the campsite.
- Simplify Their Decision: A realistic price makes it easier for Travelers to choose your caravan over others.
- Avoid Excessive Pricing: Even if your caravan has unique features, exorbitant prices can deter potential Travelers.
3. A Success Story: Sun Roller Tango 495 in Alicante
A great example of pricing success is the listing for the Sun Roller Tango 495 in Alicante. As of January 5, 2025, it’s the most-booked listing on Caraving. Why?
Key Features of This Caravan:
- Spacious Capacity: Accommodates up to six people, making it ideal for families or small groups.
- Outstanding Amenities: Features like air conditioning for comfort, an outdoor canopy for enjoying open-air space, various accessories, and a well-maintained, inviting setup.
- Competitive Pricing: The price, given its features and amenities, is one of the most reasonable, attracting budget-conscious Travelers and those seeking quality and comfort.
Exceptional Traveler Care: The Host is quick to respond to inquiries and provides excellent service, building trust among Travelers.
This example highlights that fair pricing and a positive Traveler experience are crucial for maximizing bookings.
4. Be Objective About Your Caravan
It’s natural to feel your caravan is special and worth a premium price. However, this mindset can result in uncompetitive rates that deter Travelers.
- Evaluate Objectively: Even if your caravan has unique features, ensure the price reflects its value compared to the market.
Focus on the Traveler: A fair price makes your caravan more appealing and encourages more bookings.
5. Strategies for Adjusting Your Price
- Seasonality and Demand: Use your calendar wisely. Lower prices in the off-season and offer special rates for holidays and high-demand periods to attract more customers.
- Long-Stay Discounts: Use our discount tool to provide incentives for extended stays, which can help attract more Travelers.
- Early Booking Discounts: Reward early reservations with special discounts. This strategy helps secure income in advance and better plan your caravan’s availability.
- One-Time Promotions: Create special offers during key moments to stand out from competitors. You can also generate personalized discount coupons to promote on social media or include them in your Caraving listing description.
If you offer delivery service for your caravan to the campsite, it’s important to calculate it correctly to remain competitive and appealing to travelers. Check out our tips and detailed calculations in the article Mileage Price for Delivery Service to the Campsite that we’ve published for you.
These types of personalized strategies can help you attract more attention and bookings during specific dates.
In summary, setting a competitive price, keeping both market conditions and Travelers’ needs in mind, is the key to success on Caraving. Take inspiration from examples like the Sun Roller Tango 495, and ensure you provide an excellent experience to secure positive reviews and increased bookings.
How to Choose the Ideal Caravan and Campsite on Caraving
Introduction
At Caraving, the experience of renting a caravan is unique: instead of traveling with the caravan, the Host is responsible for transporting and setting it up at the selected campsite. This allows you to enjoy all the comforts of a camping stay without worrying about driving or setting up at the campsite. However, to make the most of this service, it is essential to know how to choose both the caravan and the campsite that best meet your needs. In this guide, we offer practical advice to help you make the right selection and avoid surprises with possible extra charges for delivery and setup.1. Understand How the Caraving Service Works
- Delivery and Setup by the Host:
Unlike other caravan rental models, at Caraving the Host is responsible for transporting the caravan to the campsite. This ensures greater security and comfort for you, but it means that the delivery service may be limited to certain campsites and a specific travel radius.
Information in the Listing:
Each Host details in the listing description the campsites where they are willing to set up the caravan, as well as the radius (in kilometers) within which they will travel. Carefully review this information to determine whether the campsite of your interest is included or if it might incur an additional charge.
2. How to Choose the Ideal Caravan
- Features and Amenities:
Evaluate the caravan's features: size, number of beds, equipment, and additional services. Make sure it meets the needs of your travel group, whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or with a group of friends. - Reviews and Ratings:
Read the opinions of other travelers to learn about the real experience with that caravan and the quality of the Host's service.
Delivery Conditions:
Review the delivery and setup conditions carefully. Check whether there are extra charges for campsites outside the Host's usual radius.
3. How to Choose the Perfect Campsite
- Location and Accessibility:
Ensure that the campsite is located in an area that is convenient for you and that it falls within the Host's service area. - Services and Facilities:
Consider the services offered by the campsite: recreational areas, restaurants, leisure zones, and other amenities that may enhance your stay based on your needs or interests.
Possible Extra Charges:
If the campsite you prefer is outside the Host's usual range, inquire about the additional cost for delivery and setup to avoid surprises in the final price.
4. Tips for a Successful Selection
- Comparison of Options:
If you are interested in a particular campsite, compare different caravan listings to find the option that offers the best quality-price ratio and includes the delivery service to the desired campsite. - Direct Communication:
Do not hesitate to contact the Host to clarify any questions about the service, the available campsites, and any potential additional costs.
Advance Planning:
Book in advance to ensure availability and to make sure that both the caravan and the campsite meet your expectations, thereby avoiding last-minute inconveniences.
Conclusion
Choosing the right caravan and campsite on Caraving requires attention to the details in the listing and effective communication with the Host. By following these tips, you can ensure a comfortable, safe, and hassle-free experience.

In the competitive world of caravan rentals at campsites, having a well-optimized listing is key to capturing the attention of potential Travelers. A featured listing not only increases visibility but also builds trust and conveys professionalism. It is essential to highlight both the features, amenities, and accessories of your caravan as well as the specific details of the delivery and installation service—elements that make a difference in the Traveler’s experience.The Importance of a Good Presentation
First impressions count. Therefore, the visual presentation and the writing of your listing must be impeccable:Use of High-Quality Images:
- Use crisp, well-lit photos that showcase every corner of the caravan.
- Ensure that no personal items appear that might distract the viewer.
- It is important that the beds appear made, with neatly arranged sheets or duvets, and that the dimensions of the beds are included so the Traveler knows if they meet their needs.
- Remember: "Less is More." A clean, professional image makes a greater impact than one cluttered with details.

This will not only provide them with more information but also help reduce your workload by avoiding repeated inquiries.
