Great news - Rover Rentals will soon be operating again under new owners.
Until they are up and running, if you are interested in booking please send an email to holidays@roverrentals.co.uk
What we offer
Want to explore the Scottish Highlands & Islands with your dog? Then hire a Rover Rentals' motorhome
Travel in comfort in our 4-berth motorhome. It is more spacious than a campervan and is fully self-sufficient with a shower & toilet onboard (which many campervans do not have). One double bed is fixed while the sofa makes into another. The motorhome is designed for 4 people, yet provides more spacious accomodation for a couple or two friends - plus dogs, if you wish to bring them.
Rover Rentals provides the solution to taking your dog on holiday as our fully self-sufficient motorhome is especially set up for dogs - although it's not necessary to bring a dog and it's thoroughly cleaned between hires!
It is more than just saying we are 'pet friendly'; canine comforts are provided and you will not be charged extra for your four legged friend(s) as you tour around Scotland.
I've stayed in the motorhome with my pooch, so have provided everything that I think you and yours will need...

Where we are
We are based on the outskirts of Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, which is an ideal location from which to start your exploration of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Inverness is also at the start of the North Coast 500 trail, which provides stunning costal scenery and can be driven in either direction.
Inverness city and the environs have many interesting things to see, from a free museum in the city centre, historical Culloden Battlefield and the Clava cairns, and the famous Castle Stuart golf course to dolphins in the Moray Firth, plus lots of parks, shops, restaurants and pubs with live music.
Slightly further afield you can see Red Kites at Tollie, the castles at Urquhart, Brodie, Cawdor and Dunrobin (which also has a falconry) and of course Loch Ness - maybe you'll be lucky and spot Nessie while on a cruise of the loch?
Inverness is surrounded by mountains, most of which can be reached within a hour or so. It's on the east coast and you can drive to Ullapool on the west coast in 75 minutes.
Ferries to the islands go from Ullapool, Mallaig and Oban - all within easy driving distance of Inverness; see Caledonian MacBrayne
Getting to us
You can arrive in Inverness by car, train, coach or plane.
The main road into Inverness from the south is the A9, with the A96 connecting it to Aberdeen in the east. Driving time from Edinburgh/Glasgow is about 3 hours, depending on traffic and 2.5 hours from Aberdeen.
Travelling to Inverness by train is a good option, as Inverness has frequent trains to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and London, see www.thetrainline.com or www.nationalrail.co.uk
Dogs can be taken on the trains for free, provided you keep them on a lead and under control.
Also, there is an overnight sleeper from London, on which you can take your dog, see details at Sleeper info.
We are only 6 miles from Inverness Airport, at Dalcross, which has regular flights from London Gatwick, Luton, Bristol, Amsterdam and several more; see www.flybe.com and www.easyjet.com New routes are opening up all the time, especially during the summer months. Hires can start during the week to tie in with flights.
If you are arriving by either train, coach or plane, we can collect you from the station/airport depending upon what time you arrive. I changeover the motorhome on my own, so cannot collect you until I have finished it. Alternatively, you can easily get a bus/taxi to my house.
