Motorhome Hire in Pontefract

Heath's Motorhome Hire is based in Pontefract, the historic market town at the heart of West Yorkshire. Our depot sits just five minutes from the town centre, making collection and return as simple as it gets. But Pontefract is more than just our home — it is a town with a rich story of its own, from the imposing ruins of Pontefract Castle to the famous liquorice heritage that gives the town its nickname, and a racecourse that has been hosting flat racing since the 1700s.

For motorhome travellers, Pontefract's location is hard to beat. The M62 and A1(M) meet just to the south, giving fast access to almost anywhere in the north of England. The Yorkshire Dales are under an hour to the west, York is 30 minutes north, the North York Moors are within 55 minutes, and the Yorkshire Coast at Scarborough is around 65 minutes via the A64. Head north-west and you can reach the Lake District in around 90 minutes.

Closer to home, Pontefract sits within the larger Wakefield district and is surrounded by excellent countryside. The Aire and Calder Navigation runs nearby, the villages of Ackworth, Badsworth, and Wentbridge are within minutes, and the market towns of Wakefield and Castleford are close neighbours. South Yorkshire — including Doncaster and Barnsley — is just 20 minutes south.

Our fleet of 4 and 6 berth motorhomes includes both manual and automatic options, with prices starting from £135 per night. Every hire includes comprehensive insurance and 24/7 roadside support. Selected vehicles are dog-friendly, and if this is your first time hiring a motorhome, we provide a full walkthrough of all vehicle systems before you set off — typically around 45 minutes to make sure you are completely comfortable.

Whether you are planning a weekend break in the Dales, a week touring the North York Moors and coast, a family holiday to the Lake District, or a longer trip to Scotland or Europe, your journey starts here in Pontefract. We offer flexible hire periods with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
