Atlas Motorhomes offers motorhome hire Scotland-wide from one Glasgow depot. The whole fleet is four-berth, mostly automatic, every vehicle under two years old. Pick up at 104 Hydepark Street, drive thirty minutes to Loch Lomond, three and a half hours to the start of the NC500 at Inverness, two and a half to the Mull ferry at Oban. The vehicle is the means; the trip is the point.

What you actually get

Atlas has been hiring motorhomes from Glasgow since 2010. The fleet is uniformly four-berth, no awkward conversions, no five- or six-berth lash-ups, and every motorhome is replaced before it turns two. Most are automatic, which makes single-track roads, ferry queues and Highland passes easier on the driver. The handover takes thirty minutes with someone who has driven the routes you’re about to drive.

• One depot, one team. Glasgow handover with John Strain or one of the team. Real route advice, not a leaflet.
• Modern, uniform fleet. Four-berth motorhomes, mostly automatic, all under two years old.
• Both Club memberships included. Camping & Caravanning Club and Caravan and Motorhome Club, free with every hire from the Essential package up.
• Whole fleet pet-friendly. No “pet vehicle” to ask for. Single per-hire cleaning fee covers it.
• Roadside cover bundled. National relay back to the Glasgow depot if anything goes wrong.

What you’ll drive, and what’s included

Every motorhome in the Atlas fleet sleeps four. Most have an electric drop-down double over the cab, a convertible dinette, a separate shower and toilet, a proper kitchen with hob and fridge, and 240V hook-up. Italian leather and modern infotainment are standard. The walk-round on collection day covers the practical stuff, water, gas, waste, hook-up, levelling, so the first night on a campsite is conversation rather than a manual.

Included with every hire from the Essential package up:

• Fully comprehensive insurance for the first driver. £2,000 standard damage excess; CDW upgrades reduce that to £750 (Protection Plus) or £250 (Premium Protection).
• National roadside support with relay back to the Glasgow depot.
• Both Club memberships, Camping & Caravanning Club (25% off club sites) and Caravan and Motorhome Club.
• Full kitchen kit, kettle, pans, plates, cups, bowls, glasses, cutlery, openers, chopping board, colander, utensils, hob igniter, washing-up kit.
• Toilet chemical, gas cylinder, hook-up cable, water hose, fire extinguisher and blanket.
• Unlimited mileage on hires of six days or more (paid option on shorter hires).

Bedding, towels, bike racks, BBQs and depot parking are paid optional extras. Awnings aren’t supplied. Hire is collection-and-return at the Glasgow depot, there’s no one-way option.

Where motorhome hire in Scotland takes you from the Glasgow depot

The Glasgow depot at 104 Hydepark Street sits in Anderston, a few minutes from the M8. From the gate it is thirty minutes to Loch Lomond, two and a half hours to Oban for the Mull ferry, three and a half hours to Inverness and the start of the North Coast 500. Skye is a long day or a comfortable two; the Outer Hebrides take a ferry from Oban or Uig.

A few routes that fit a 4-berth motorhome cleanly:

• Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. A first-night shake-down trip; an hour out, easy single-track, plenty of campsites.
• Oban, Mull and Iona. CalMac ferry from Oban, single-track to Fionnphort, dogs welcome on most of Mull.
• The NC500. Glasgow to Inverness on the A9, then 516 miles of coast road. Seven nights is tight; ten is honest.
• Skye and the western seaboard. Glencoe, Glenfinnan, the Sligachan road; busiest in July and August.

Atlas runs from mid-March to the first week of November. Outside that window the depot is closed for hire.
