The most common question we get from customers looking for campervan hire in Ireland is: which size do we need?It is a reasonable question. The answer depends on a few things: how many people are travelling, how you plan to use the van, and whether you have ever driven something larger than a regular car on Irish roads before.This guide covers the real differences between a 2-berth, 4-berth and 6-berth campervan, based on years of helping customers figure out which one suits their trip. At the end, there is a quick decision guide so you can work out which category you fall into without having to read the whole thing.Browse Our Full FleetWhat 2-berth means in practiceA 2-berth campervan is built for two people. The sleeping area converts either from the main seating area (a drop-down arrangement) or from a fixed rear bed, depending on the model. In our fleet, the V66 and V69 are the 2-berth options.Both are compact enough to handle the narrow roads of Connemara, Kerry and Donegal without any anxiety. The V69 in particular is popular with customers who want to drive something that feels more like a large car than a vehicle that requires special consideration at every junction. Both have a full kitchen (hob, oven, fridge, freezer), hot shower, toilet, and enough storage for two people on a trip of any length.One of our customers described the V66 as perfect for just the two of us after five days in Connemara. A couple who were thinking about buying their own van hired the V69 specifically to test it, with their two dogs, before committing. That is the kind of trip the 2-berth is built for.Who should choose 2-berth: couples travelling without children, two friends on a road trip, anyone who wants to drive something manoeuvrable on Irish roads.What 4-berth means in practiceA 4-berth has two sleeping areas: typically a main double or fixed island bed and a second area that converts from the dinette or drops down from above the cab. In our fleet, the Dethleffs 4-berth and the Sunlight A68 are the options here.The Dethleffs is notable for its island bed. It is a proper double, accessible from both sides, which is a significant comfort upgrade from a van where you have to climb over a sleeping partner. Customers specifically mention the island bed layout in reviews. For a family of three or four, this van has the space to feel like a proper home on the road: a table that seats four, a full kitchen, a bathroom, and a sleeping area that does not require everyone to reconfigure the furniture twice a day.The A68 is similarly capable. It is a well-designed 4-berth that works for small families and groups who want enough space without the footprint of the larger models.The 4-berth is the most versatile category in the fleet. It is big enough for a family with younger children, light enough to drive without specialist experience, and sized to fit into the same spaces as the 2-berth models on narrow roads.Who should choose 4-berth: families with one or two children, two couples travelling together, anyone who wants proper cooking and sleeping space without the bulk of a 6-berth.What 6-berth means in practiceA 6-berth campervan is genuinely large. The Sunlight A72 and A70 seat and sleep up to six people, with multiple fixed sleeping areas that do not require converting furniture every night. The A72 in particular has been to Kerry and back multiple times with full families on board. One customer described it as absolutely immaculate and warm and comfortable for the whole trip.The tradeoff for the extra space is size. The A72 and A70 are noticeably larger on the road than the 2 or 4-berth options. Irish roads, particularly the scenic ones on the Wild Atlantic Way, include single-track sections, passing places, and tight turns that are manageable in a 6-berth but require more attention than in a smaller van. They are not difficult to drive, but they are not something you can switch off about on the narrower roads.For a family of five or six, a group of adults sharing costs, or anyone who wants the trip to feel genuinely spacious rather than cosy, the 6-berth is the right choice.Who should choose 6-berth: families of five or six, groups of three adults who each want a proper sleeping area, longer trips where living space matters more than manoeuvrability.The luxury option: Sunlight T68The T68 is the newest addition to our fleet. It is a premium-specification van that sits outside the standard berth categories, designed for two people who want a notably higher level of finish: a larger fixed bed, a more spacious lounge area, premium materials throughout, and the same full kitchen and bathroom as the other models but with more attention to detail in the fit-out. If comfort and the quality of the interior space matters to you as much as the destinations, the T68 is worth a look. There is a demo video on the Sunlight T68 page.Quick decision guideTwo people travelling: V66 or V69. Small and easy to drive.
