Top Tips for Campervan Hire Australia:

• Make sure your campervan has a bed AND a seatbelt for each traveller – don’t get caught out by campers with 4 bed and only 2 seatbelts.
• The most popular and practical way to explore Australia in your campervan is to get a one-way hire. This means you won’t have to backtrack and can see more of this beautiful country!
• Check the bed sizes and interior height of the campervan or motorhome. This is very important for tall people. All vehicles that we list have the bed sizes displayed in the vehicle specification list
• Book early to get the best rates
• For a cheaper campervan, choose an older vehicle
• Plan a rough route you want to take in your campervan – Australia is massive and it’s easy to underestimate how long it takes to get from point A to point B
• If you’re planning on taking more remote routes, make sure you stock up in a supermarket in the city you pick up your campervan from, as it is unlikely you will find any on the way!
• Use an app such as MotorMouth to find the cheapest place for buying petrol
• Ensure you adhere to campfire guidelines and put out any campfires completely by the end of the night, as the dry, hot air in Australia makes the country prone to bushfires. Download the bushfire website or app for each state you travel through to know which areas to avoid.
