A seven-day camper trip in Lithuania for two adults costs about 1,005 EUR in the off season and about 1,490 EUR in the peak season. A fourteen-day trip through Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria costs about 3,481 EUR. These amounts are calculated from our published starting daily rates of 95 and 160 EUR, a specific 700 km route in Lithuania and a 3,500 km route to Vienna and back, the 2026 price lists of three Lithuanian campsites and the ACSI European average. They do not include food or local charges such as the ferry crossing in Klaipėda and the Neringa ecological fee. Nor do they include the 800 EUR deposit, because it is held at handover and returned when the camper comes back clean and with a full fuel tank. The gap between the advertised daily rate and what you actually spend per day is between 49 and 89 EUR, and it is largest on the longest trip.

Why is the daily rate not the cost of the trip?

Most rental price lists publish a single number, and that is the number that says least about the rest of the budget. Our own daily rate goes down as the rental period gets longer. The length bands are 1-3, 4-7, 8-14, 15-21 and 22 or more days, and the daily rate falls as you move down this list. The season matters too: our published starting rate is 95 EUR per day in the off season, 115 EUR in the shoulder season, which covers 1 May to 14 June, 1-30 September and 21 December to 5 January, and 160 EUR in the peak season. You will find the breakdown of seasons in the 2026 rental price list.

Every other part of the budget moves in the opposite direction. Fuel costs grow with the kilometres. Campsite fees grow with the nights. Vignettes and road tolls grow with the borders you cross. None of them cares whether you booked the camper for fourteen days or four, and none of them comes with a discount for length.

So a longer rental is cheaper when you count the daily rate, but more expensive when you count daily spending, because a longer trip almost always means a longer route. Comparing rental companies on the daily rate alone compares the budget line that changes least.

The examples below are built on the same starting data.

Because of the last two rows, gas and water costs are zero in all three models below. Both are included in the rental price, and two cylinders are enough for a summer trip of any length modelled here.

Which routes are these examples based on?

Kilometres have more effect on fuel costs than days do.

A 700 km route in Lithuania

Vilnius to Kaunas is about 100 km, Kaunas to Klaipėda about 215 km, Klaipėda to Palanga about 26 km, Palanga to Šiauliai about 145 km, and Šiauliai back to Vilnius about 213 km. This loop on main roads comes to about 700 km, not counting local driving. A day on the Curonian Spit, from Smiltynė to Nida and back, adds about another 100 km and about 21 EUR of fuel.

Seven days and 700 km means about 100 km per day, which leaves five or six full days parked. That is realistically what a week in Lithuania is enough for: the coast, one national park and one or two cities, at a pace where the camper stands more than it drives. A week will not be enough for a route covering the coast, Aukštaitija and Dzūkija, unless you accept two long driving days.

A 3,500 km route in Europe

Vilnius, Kaunas, the Budzisko border crossing, Suwałki, Białystok, Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice, the Gorzyczki border crossing, Ostrava, Brno, the Mikulov border crossing and Vienna: that is about 1,325 km one way. Add about 850 km of driving within Austria itself, and the round trip comes to about 3,500 km.

The 1.81 EUR figure is weighted by the kilometres driven in each country, not a simple average of the four national prices, which would be 1.82 EUR. Poland makes up 44 % of the distance with the second-cheapest diesel on the route, and that is what pulls the overall average below the Lithuanian price.

How much does a seven-day trip cost in the off season?

The off season runs from 6 January to 30 April and from 1 October to 20 December, and our published starting rate in this period is 95 EUR per day. The example below is a week in October for two adults, the 700 km route in Lithuania, and six nights on a campsite pitch with facilities.

The Lithuanian road user charge depends on the category stated in the vehicle's registration certificate, so at handover check which category applies to your particular camper rather than making assumptions.

The pitch price is taken from the published price list of "Pajūrio kempingas" in Klaipėda, where an off-season camper pitch with hook-ups costs 20 EUR, plus 6 EUR per adult per night. So two adults pay 32 EUR per night. This figure is the reference point used in the model, at the bottom of the published Lithuanian price ranges.

All three price lists were checked on 2026-07-28. Two adults on a Lithuanian campsite pitch with facilities pay between 32 and 45 EUR per night. The top of this range is the coast in peak season, while elsewhere the price ranges from 32 to 37 EUR. An inland pitch in July costs the same as a coastal pitch in October.

Many Lithuanian campsites shorten their season or opening hours outside the summer, so it is worth checking this before planning a week of campsites in October. That lowers your pitch costs, sometimes even to zero, but it also narrows your choices, which is why the shower and toilet in the camper matter more in October than in July.

How much does a seven-day trip cost in the peak season?

The peak season runs from 15 June to 31 August, and our published starting rate is 160 EUR per day. The trip format is the same: two adults, the same 700 km route, six nights on a campsite pitch.

The rental line rose by 455 EUR. The fuel line did not change at all, because fuel prices do not respond to the rental season. The pitch line rose by 30 EUR: that is the summer surcharge at the example campsite over six nights. Choosing Nidos kempingas for the same week would add about another 48 EUR, because the price there for two adults in peak season can reach 45 EUR per night.

The number of travellers matters here in a way the rental price does not show. The pitch fee applies to the vehicle, but the personal fee is charged per person: at the example campsite that is 6 EUR per adult and 4 EUR per child aged 5 to 12. Four adults add 72 EUR to the trip budget over the same six nights, even though the rental price does not change at all. If you are considering whether a larger vehicle is worth it, the guide on camper rental for 4-7 people covers the berth and seat aspects of that decision.

How much does a fourteen-day trip in Europe cost?

When planning a two-week trip, working out the costs gets more complicated. This example assumes two adults travelling in July on the 3,500 km route described above and spending thirteen nights on campsites.

All three examples use our published starting rate rather than the rate for a specific length band, so 160 EUR per day appears in both the seven-day and the fourteen-day peak-season trips. Because of the length bands, the real fourteen-day price will be lower than 2,240 EUR, so the rental line above is the cautious side of the model, and the true total is lower than stated.

The campsite cost is the ACSI 2026 European peak-season average (38.60 EUR per night, published 2026-06-16), which covers two adults and two children, including electricity, tourist tax and ecological levies, and which rose by 3.7 % compared with 2025. Two adults usually pay less than this average, so treat the 502 EUR figure as a cautious estimate too.

In the peak season we recommend booking campsites for July and August in advance, and reserving the camper itself for May to September at least four months ahead. Both matter more for a two-week trip than for a week in Lithuania. A full campsite by the Austrian lakes in August will cost you a longer detour than a full campsite in Žemaitija.

Why the Polish road toll line is 16.60 EUR

Poland charges no tolls for vehicles up to 3.5 t on state-run motorways, which include the S61 and S8 expressways from the Lithuanian border to Warsaw and the A1 south of Łódź. The only toll section on this route is the A4 concession between Katowice and Kraków, operated by "Stalexport Autostrada Małopolska". A two-axle vehicle up to 3.5 t pays 18 PLN at each of the two gates, Mysłowice and Balice, so 36 PLN for the whole section at the rate in force from 2026-04-01. Driving it on the way out and again on the way home comes to 72 PLN, about 16.60 EUR at the National Bank of Poland reference rate (4.3359 PLN per euro on 2026-07-20).

This figure depends on the route. If you take the A1 from Warsaw to Katowice and skip Kraków, you pay no Polish tolls at all.

The vignette line is smaller than most people expect. Ten days on Austrian motorways costs 12.80 EUR, and ten days in the Czech Republic costs 12.39 EUR for a vehicle up to 3.5 t. That covers almost every camper you can drive on a category B licence. One caveat about the Czech figure: this route crosses the Czech Republic on the way out and again on the way back, and a 10-day vignette covers both crossings only if they fall within the same ten-day window. If not, add a second vignette and 12.39 EUR. The regulatory side of a trip around Europe matters far more than its cost, and the guide on which camper suits a trip around Europe covers the vehicle side of that question.

Why does a longer trip cost less per day to rent, but more per day overall?

Let us compare the three examples.

The additional costs of a domestic week are almost fixed: 49 EUR per day in the off season, 53 EUR per day in the peak season. In absolute terms they barely change between seasons. Proportionally they weigh far more in the off season, when they add 51 % to the 95 EUR base rate, than in the peak season, when they add 33 % to 160 EUR. The week that looks cheapest in the price list is the week the price list tells you least about.

Two weeks break this pattern, and the reason is kilometres, not days. 3,500 km over fourteen days is 250 km per day, five times more driving than in the domestic examples. Fuel alone accounts for 697 EUR of the 1,241 EUR in additional costs. Two weeks spent slowly in the Baltic states would look completely different. The budget is driven by the length of the route, not the length of the booking.

Which three numbers actually change the total?

Three factors change the total more than a 10 EUR difference in the daily rate.

The season is the biggest single factor for a domestic week, and the route is the biggest for a two-week trip around Europe. The middle factor is the one most people make too little use of. Cutting the two-week route from 3,500 km to 2,500 km saves about 199 EUR on fuel, and the only price is a shorter route.

Which local charges never appear in any price list?

Take a single July day on the Curonian Spit. The ferry from Klaipėda to Smiltynė costs 23.20 EUR for an M1, SE or N1 category vehicle at the rate in force from 2026-05-13. The ferry ticket is valid both ways, so you will not pay extra for the return. The Neringa municipality ecological fee is paid separately at the Alksnynė checkpoint and comes to 50 EUR for a passenger car in the peak season from 20 June to 20 August. So one day on the spit adds at least 73.20 EUR to the week's budget, which no rental price list mentions. The ecological fee is set by the Neringa municipality according to vehicle category, so before you reach the checkpoint, check which band applies to a 6-7 metre camper.

Similar charges exist all over Europe: city access restrictions, low-emission zones, national park entry fees, municipal tourist taxes. Taken one by one, most of them are small. They are also rarely visible until you reach the barrier, so they have to be built into the plan.

When do you pay, and how much money needs to be available?

The deposit on the Lithuanian market usually starts from 800 EUR. This figure causes more confusion in a camper booking than any other, because it is a cash flow, not a cost.

Once the booking is confirmed, we take a 30 % reservation fee, as published in our terms. The 800 EUR deposit is paid at handover and returned when the camper comes back clean and with a full fuel tank. It has to be available on your card at handover, and it comes back.

Comprehensive (KASKO) insurance is included in our rental price. The 800 EUR deposit is held at handover and comes back when the camper is returned in good order, so it is money frozen for a while, not a final cost.

What is already paid for before you leave the yard?

Every camper leaves our yard with the equipment you need for the trip, and three of these items remove whole lines from the budget above.

Two full 11-13 kg gas cylinders come with the vehicle, which last three to four weeks in summer. In winter, with the heating running constantly, one cylinder lasts two to three days. That is the figure to plan a February trip around. This is why the gas line is zero in every example in this article, including the fourteen-day one. The 100 l water tank is full on departure, and toilet chemicals are provided.

The cooker, fridge, shower and toilet in the camper are the reason a night away from a campsite pitch with facilities is a proper night rather than an emergency, and it is a factor the renter controls every night. Every night spent away from a paid campsite takes 32 to 45 EUR off the Lithuanian budget, and 38.60 EUR off the European one. The awning, mosquito nets, outdoor furniture and bike rack also come with the camper, so they do not add to the budget.

Fuel is the renter's cost. The camper leaves with a full tank and comes back with a full tank, and that is exactly what the fuel lines above measure. Optional extras such as bedding, kitchenware, a barbecue grill, bicycles and scooters can be ordered no later than 15 days before the trip, and their price is calculated per booking. Up to an hour is set aside for a briefing at handover: that is the right time to ask about anything in this article that applies to your particular booking.

Delivery and collection are available in any city in Lithuania. The price is calculated individually for each booking and is not published, so it is not included in the model above. Ask for it together with your rental quote.

What this calculation does not cover

The model above is missing six lines, and filling them with guesses would make it worse, not better.

Food and drink

A camper with a fridge and cooker replaces restaurant spending, which is where most of the felt saving comes from. Households differ too much for any published figure to help anyone.

Consumption

11 l / 100 km is the biggest single assumption in the model, and it is an owner-reported figure, not a factory measurement. At 10 l / 100 km the two-week fuel line drops to about 634 EUR, and at 12 l / 100 km it rises to about 760 EUR. So the two-week total moves by about 63 EUR either way, to about 3,418 EUR or about 3,544 EUR. Load, roof boxes, headwinds and an Alpine stretch push consumption towards the top of this range.

Mileage

Whether the rental agreement sets a mileage limit is defined in the agreement itself, and you should read it before booking a long trip. 3,500 km over fourteen days is 250 km per day: exactly the kind of trip where a limit would matter.

Fuel price swings

The Lithuanian diesel price changed by 6.88 % in a single week of July 2026. On the two-week example that comes to about 48 EUR either way, which is more than the whole vignette and road toll line.

Local access charges

The Klaipėda-Smiltynė ferry and the Neringa ecological fee were estimated in the section above at 73.20 EUR for one day on the Curonian Spit, and neither is included in the 1,005 EUR, 1,490 EUR or 3,481 EUR totals. Whether you pay them depends on the route you choose, not on the rental price itself, and the same goes for low-emission zones, city access charges and national park fees you may come across abroad.

Delivery and extras prices

Both of these prices are calculated individually for each booking and are not published, so neither appears in the tables above.

How to find out the price of your trip

The price for a specific booking depends on which season band your dates fall into and which length band the trip falls into, while the examples above use the published starting rate without the discount for a specific length band. Send us your dates and number of days, and we will send you a rental quote. You can then add the fuel, campsite and road toll lines from this article, using your own route.

FAQ

How much does it cost to rent a camper for a week in Lithuania?

At our published starting rates, seven days cost 665 EUR in the off season and 1,120 EUR in the peak season. With fuel for a 700 km route in Lithuania and six nights on a campsite pitch for two adults, the trip comes to about 1,005 EUR in total in the off season and about 1,490 EUR in the peak season, not counting food.

How much does a two-week camper trip around Europe cost?

About 3,481 EUR for two adults in July, including 2,240 EUR for the rental at the published peak-season starting rate, 697 EUR of fuel for 3,500 km, 502 EUR for campsite pitches over thirteen nights and about 42 EUR for vignettes and road tolls in the Czech Republic, Austria and on the Polish A4 concession section. Food is not included.

What is not included in the daily rental price?

Fuel, campsite fees, vignettes and road tolls, local access charges such as the Neringa ecological fee, food and any optional extras. In the examples in this article, these items add between 49 and 89 EUR per day to the advertised price.

Is the 800 EUR deposit part of the trip cost?

No. Comprehensive (KASKO) insurance is included in the rental price, and the 800 EUR deposit is held at handover and comes back when the camper is returned in good order, clean and with a full fuel tank. It has to be available on your card at handover, so it is a cash flow, not a trip cost.

How much fuel does a camper use, and how much does it cost?

According to owner-reported figures, a camper uses between 10 and 12 litres per 100 km. At the Lithuanian diesel price of 1.927 EUR per litre recorded in the week of 2026-07-20, 100 km costs about 21 EUR, and a 700 km week about 148 EUR. A 3,500 km two-week trip through Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria costs about 697 EUR at the distance-weighted price of 1.81 EUR per litre.

How much does a campsite pitch cost in Lithuania?

Two adults on a pitch with facilities pay between 32 and 45 EUR per night at the three campsites checked on 2026-07-28. "Pajūrio kempingas" in Klaipėda charges 25 EUR per night in summer and 20 EUR off season, plus 6 EUR per adult; "Nidos kempingas" charges 18 to 25 EUR for a camper up to 7 metres, plus 7-10 EUR per adult; "Alytaus kempingas" charges 16 EUR plus 8 EUR per adult, with no seasonal bands published. The 2026 European peak-season average published by ACSI is 38.60 EUR per night, including electricity and tourist tax.

Do you have to pay road charges when travelling by camper in Lithuania and the Baltic states?

The Lithuanian road user charge does not apply to M1 category passenger vehicles, but it does apply to N1 goods vehicles up to 3.5 t, so it comes down to the category stated in the registration certificate. Estonia charges no tolls for vehicles up to 3.5 t, and the Latvian vignette applies only to goods vehicles from 3,001 kg. Before making assumptions, check the registration category of the particular camper and ask at handover.

Is renting for two weeks cheaper than for one?

Per day, yes. Our length bands are 1-3, 4-7, 8-14, 15-21 and 22 or more days, and the daily rate falls as the booking gets longer. In total, two weeks still cost more, and their all-inclusive daily cost can be higher than a week's, because fuel, pitches and road tolls grow with the route, not with the number of days booked.
