Motorhome and campervan holidays are even more appealing for pet owners this summer.
To celebrate International Dog Day on 26 August, campervan hire specialist roadsurfer will waive its pet fee for 48 hours. The offer applies to future bookings made on 26 and 27 August 2026.
The promotion makes it easier for travellers to bring their dogs, cats or other pets without paying the usual pet supplement.
More Travellers Want Holidays with Their Dogs
A recent study found that 46% of dog owners feel anxious about leaving their pets behind while on holiday.
Many worry about their dog’s eating habits or whether the animal feels stressed or abandoned. Consequently, more holidaymakers now choose trips where pets can join the adventure.
Campervan travel offers that freedom. Owners can stop whenever they like for walks, exercise or refreshments while exploring the countryside or coast.
Pet-Friendly Travel Without Extra Hassle
Unlike many rental companies, roadsurfer welcomes pets across its campervan and motorhome fleet.
Normally, customers pay a flat UK pet fee of around £120 per booking, regardless of the holiday length.
However, bookings made on 26 or 27 August 2026 will receive the pet option free of charge. The offer applies to all future travel dates.
Customers must still select the pet option during checkout. The system will automatically reduce the charge to £0 during the promotion.
There are no breed or size restrictions.
