Discover the North Coast 500

A 516-mile route of stunning scenery around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle, linking many features in the north Highlands of Scotland in one touring route.

Scotland's ultimate road trip

Coined as Scotland's answer to the American Route 66, the North Coast 500 driving route takes you across just over 500 miles (516 to be exact) of Scotland's northern coastline.

Stunning coastal scenery, rugged landscapes and a network of small villages, the NC500 gives you the chance to explore some of the country's more remote but distinguishingly charming gems.

Travelling by campervan is an ideal way to explore this route and ensure you always have a bed for the night, as it has become one of the most popular and well travelled roads in recent years.

Would definitely recommend using Grampian Campervan Hire when you're looking to rent a van. Great location close to Cairngorms, Moray Coast and on your way to the West. Safe parking of your own car at their premises.

Great customer service from the start of the booking process right through to returning the Van. Mieke was pleasant, professional and a great person to deal with, a credit to her Business. The Van was top quality and so well organised it made our trip away seamless. This was our first Campervan hire and couldn’t have picked a better company to deal with. Will be returning very soon for our next adventure. David & Julie

Exceptional experience We were a group of 5 friends renting two vans (Ben Rinnes and Ben Lui) for a NC500 trip and had a phenomenal rental experience with Grampian Campervans. I could not recommend more. First, the vans are in perfect condition. It is clear how committed Mieke and Jan are to accommodating all types of trips and they have a range of options that they are regularly updating in response to demand. Second, Mieke offers a top class customer experience from start to finish and responded to every one of our queries within the hour. This makes the difference vs other rental companies where you may get a tolerable product but with no access to advice/ help when it’s really needed. Thank you so much for an incredible time!
