Planning a campervan holiday and wondering what documents you need and which rules apply? Whether you are staying in Romania or heading off across Europe, at SMP Travel Cluj we have put together a practical guide for a worry-free trip. All our campervans are under 3.5 tonnes, fully equipped and covered by the necessary insurance, so you can enjoy the road instead of the paperwork.
The documents you need for a campervan holiday in Romania
- Category B driving licence – that is all you need to drive a campervan from the SMP Travel fleet.
- Valid ID card – required for the driver and every passenger.
- Road tax vignette, third-party insurance and campervan documents – all of them are already taken care of by SMP Travel; you will find them waiting on board.
In other words, to set off on a campervan holiday in Romania, all you need is your driving licence and your ID card.
Rules and documents for campervan trips in Europe
If you decide to explore Europe by campervan, here is what you need to know:
- Passport or ID card – which one you need depends on the country you plan to visit.
- Green Card and campervan insurance – already included in the SMP Travel service, at no extra cost and with no extra running around for you.
- Local road rules – in countries such as Hungary, Austria and Switzerland you need a vignette, in Italy and France you pay motorway tolls, and in Germany there are low-emission zones you can only enter with an eco-sticker.
Our recommendation: check the traffic rules for each country before you set off, so there are no surprises along the way.
Camping and legal parking for campervans in Romania and Europe
- Official campsites – they offer electricity, water, showers and peace of mind. They are the most comfortable option, and the one we recommend.
- Parking outside campsites – only allowed in certain areas. In many European countries the rules are strict, and fines can be hefty if you ignore local laws.
- Handy apps – Park4Night, Campercontact or Google Maps help you find campsites and safe parking spots in seconds.
Travelling by campervan means freedom, but responsibility too. Always choose legal spots and respect local communities.
