OUR STORY
Before we started Bunk Campers we were career minded thirty-somethings wondering what to do next. Taking time out to travel, we found ourselves in Australia and New Zealand when the big idea came to us! On returning to Ireland we established Bunk Campers, a modern day budget camper van hire business with a fleet of vehicles that are bang up to date!
Get on board the Bunk phenomenon – don’t worry, it’s not some weirdo cult! The team at Bunk Campers are just a bunch of like minded people who have shared horizons – we’ve wallowed at Glastonbury, raved in Ibiza, bungeed in New Zealand, done yoga in Byron Bay, tobogganed the Cresta Run and ascended the dizzy heights of the Franz Josef Glacier. We love to travel and explore!
OUR VEHICLES
We’ve purchased, fitted and kitted the camper vans to our own exacting specification based on our experiences. Bunk Campers offer compact, funky and stylish camper vans - your transport and accommodation in one.They’ve got all the kit you need to get you on the road. View a Bunk to find out more!
OUR AIMS
We aim to bring fun and colour to your road trip around Ireland. We aim to help you uncover what’s new and different about Ireland. We’re always looking for innovative, quirky, unique experiences.

Booking information
To make a booking you must complete our booking form which is easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology. Once we receive your form, we will, subject to availability, confirm your booking by emailing you a confirmation voucher and invoice. The deposit required to secure your vehicle (as shown on the secure booking page) will only be processed on your credit card when your booking is confirmed. Please note that a 1.75% credit card charge will be added when your payment is processed.
A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation voucher and at this stage the deposit is processed on your card and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in the supplier's terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation, please check your details carefully and notify us immediately if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible to make changes at a later date.
If you are booking via phone, please make sure you have read the terms and conditions of the vehicle you wish to rent first.

The onus is always on the renter to ensure they make themselves fully aware of the terms displayed on our website.
Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental services.
Amendments
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges). To request a change to a confirmed booking, please use the alterations request link on your confirmation. Any alterations are subject to availability and the approval of the supplier. In addition to the alteration policy of the supplier stated in their terms, the following charges will apply:
