Frankfurt is Germany's motorway crossroads: the A5 (north-south) meets the A3 (east-west) at Frankfurter Kreuz—ideal for onward trips.
A green environmental sticker ("Feinstaubplakette") is required inside the whole city ring (A3/A5/A661). Buy online or at TÜV/DEKRA test centres.
Expect traffic jams around Frankfurter Kreuz and on the A661 inner ring during rush hours. Avoid 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-18:30 if possible.
France's Alsace region and Luxembourg are about 2 hours away via A5/A67. The Netherlands is about 3 hours away via A3.

Stellplätze are basic motorhome parking areas that often cost €5–15 per night. Look for signs that say 'Wohnmobilstellplatz'.
Many Park and Ride (P+R) sites surround Frankfurt. You can park your van there and take the S-Bahn or U-Bahn trains straight to the city centre.
No, wild/free camping in Germany is generally not permitted. However, a single overnight stop may be allowed if it’s strictly to restore your fitness to drive (a safety rest), provided you are parked somewhere that parking is allowed and there is no local prohibition. In that case, you must avoid ‘camping-like’ behaviour (no chairs/tables, no awning, no grilling), and you should move on again the next day.
There are plenty of campsites in Germany, and prices vary by season and region. As a rough guide, many campsites start from around €30 per night, and a typical overnight stay in peak season is often around €40 for a standard camping ‘bundle’ (pitch and people), depending on what’s included.
Germany also has Stellplatz (motorhome stopovers), which are designated places where you are officially allowed to stop overnight with your motorhome—often near town centres and tourist sights. Many Stellplatz sites offer basic facilities such as electricity plus fresh water and waste water services, and sometimes sanitary facilities. Some charge a small fee (often less than a campsite), while others are free of charge.
You need a valid Type B driving licence (Class D in the U.S. or Class G in Canada) to drive a motorhome weighing up to 3.5 tonnes in Germany. To drive a larger campervan weighing over 3.5 tonnes, you must obtain a B96 extension or have a Type C or C1 licence.
You must be at least 21 years old to rent a campervan in Germany and have at least one year of driving experience. If you aim to rent a larger vehicle weighing over 3.5 tonnes, you must be at least 23 years old.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
