Background
Company overview
Big Bear Camper Hire rents motorhomes directly from Enfield in County Meath. Its range includes BELA, XGO and Sun Living vehicles, offered through individual listings with their own layouts and equipment. Rentals start and finish at the Enfield base, with an airport collection and drop-off service available as an optional extra.
Our verdict
Editorial review
Big Bear’s appeal lies in the different ways its motorhomes accommodate a family or a larger travelling party. Bed arrangements deserve as much attention as the headline sleeping capacity: a layout with rear singles offers a different night-time setup from one combining bunks, an overhead bed and dining-area conversions.
The rental suits a trip planned around a single collection base. Returning to Enfield is part of that arrangement, while the separate security deposit requires additional funds beyond the hire price. Those commitments matter when weighing the practical benefits of a spacious vehicle against the overall shape and budget of the trip.
Good points
- An automatic option for a larger party.The Sun Living combines automatic transmission with seven travel seats and seven sleeping places. It gives a larger group an option that does not require a driver comfortable with a manual gearbox.
Things to consider
- The journey must finish back in Enfield.One-way rentals are not permitted. A trip ending elsewhere therefore needs to allow for the vehicle’s return to the original base.
- Security is separate from the rental price.The €2,000 security deposit adds a substantial requirement for funds, even though it is refundable after a satisfactory return. It is also not a ceiling on liability for damage.

The range centres on motorhomes for four to seven people, with the main differences lying in bed arrangements and transmission. All five listings have right-hand drive, a three-way fridge, a three-burner hob, hot and cold water, a leisure battery and a mains connection.
The four-person Guadeloupe pairs rear bunks with an overcab double. The Dynamic 69 has a fixed double, an alcove double and a single made from the dining area. These arrangements make the nightly bed conversion a useful point of comparison, especially if the dining space needs to remain available late in the evening.
Both seven-person options, Mauritius and Sun Living, combine bunks, an overhead double and dining-area conversions. Their full sleeping capacity therefore involves making up beds at night. The Dynamic 98 offers a different arrangement with rear single beds and a drop-down child bed. Choose between these layouts on the sleeping arrangement itself, rather than assuming that vehicles with similar capacities provide the same beds.

Practical facts
The policies, price examples and services below concern Big Bear Camper Hire in Ireland.
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Rental price examples | For pickup and return in Enfield from 12 October 2026 at 10:00 to 16 October 2026 at 10:00, a four-day Guadeloupe selection totalled €839.90 (€740 plus €99.90 tax), while a Sun Living selection totalled €930.70 (€820 plus €110.70 tax). Both were direct pre-booking examples without optional extras, not confirmed reservations or guaranteed offers. |
| Booking payment | The booking advance is €250 towards the hire price. The balance is due six weeks before the rental; for bookings made later, it is due immediately. |
| Security deposit | The security amount is €2,000, with cash, debit card and credit card listed as payment methods. It is conditionally refundable within two working days after a satisfactory return. Liability may exceed this amount. |
| Minimum hire | The minimum hire is four days. |
| Driver documents | A full European category B driving licence is accepted, and drivers must have held their licence for at least two years. A passport or identity document, the driving licence and proof of address are required. |
| Collection and return | The scheduled handover window is 09:00–12:00, with exceptions by arrangement. One-way rentals are not permitted. An unarranged late return costs €50 per hour or part of an hour. |
| Supplied equipment | The rates described for Mauritius, Dynamic 69, Guadeloupe and Sun Living include kitchen and dining utensils, a gas bottle, electrical hookup and water-connection equipment, a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher. |
| Bedding | In the two four-day examples above, double bedding with two pillows and towels was selectable at €50 per set and single bedding with a pillow and towel at €40 per set. These are amounts for the selected hire, not daily rates or confirmed tax-inclusive totals. Bedding is an optional extra. |
| Additional driver | In the two four-day examples above, an additional driver was selectable at €100 per person. This is an amount for the selected hire, not a daily rate or a confirmed tax-inclusive total. |
| Pets | Pets require prior agreement. An unauthorised animal incurs a €150 charge plus replacement costs. |
| Smoking | Smoking incurs a €150 charge plus the cost of damage. |
| Fuel and toilet on return | Fuel is full-to-full, with a minimum €50 refuelling charge otherwise. Returning the toilet unemptied incurs a €150 charge. |
| Specified damage charges | The terms list €250 for windscreen damage and €200 plus a callout charge for tyre damage. These amounts are not a general limit on damage liability. |
| Breakdown and repairs | Assistance is through the owner. The repair provision allows reimbursement against an invoice for repairs up to €50 and requires prior approval above that amount. A general requirement to obtain permission for repairs also applies; the reimbursement provision is not an unconditional repair authorisation. |
| Driving restrictions | The vehicle must not be used on soft ground. Damage from unmarked roads or low obstructions is excluded from cover. |
| Travel outside Ireland | The included insurance covers Ireland. UK cover requires prior arrangement, and leaving mainland Ireland requires written permission. Confirm the intended territory and route in that arrangement. |
Quick answers
Big Bear Camper Hire FAQ
Which Big Bear motorhome offers automatic transmission for seven people?
The Sun Living has automatic transmission, seven travel seats and seven sleeping places. Its sleeping layout uses rear bunks, an overhead double and dining-area conversions, so accommodating all seven involves making up beds at night.
Which option has separate rear single beds?
The XGO Dynamic 98 has rear single beds and a drop-down child bed. Its total stated capacity is five travel seats and five sleeping places; those totals should not be read as five separate fixed beds.
Where do I collect the motorhome if I choose the airport service?
The vehicle pickup and return base is in Enfield, County Meath. Airport collection and drop-off is a separate optional service, rather than an airport rental depot. Arrange the airport, meeting point and required journey legs with Big Bear when selecting that service.
Can I take a Big Bear motorhome to the UK?
UK insurance must be arranged in advance, and written permission is required to leave mainland Ireland. Have the agreement specify the territory and route you intend to travel; selecting a UK insurance option alone should not be treated as permission for every cross-border journey.
Can I bring a pet in a Big Bear motorhome?
Pets need prior agreement. Bringing an animal without authorisation carries a €150 charge plus any replacement costs, so include the pet in the arrangements before hiring.
