Types of Campervans, RVs & Motorhomes for Hire in Australia

A campervan is a compact van you drive and sleep in, usually without a built-in bathroom, while a motorhome is larger and self-contained, with a kitchen, a toilet and a shower on board. Both are available to hire across Australia, and the right choice comes down to how many people are travelling, how much comfort you want, and where you plan to drive. The guide below breaks down each vehicle type by berth, so you can match a vehicle to your group before you check availability.

Campervan & Motorhome Hire Prices in Australia

Campervan and motorhome hire prices in Australia vary by vehicle size, season and hire length. As a guide, 2-berth budget campervans cost from $102 to $151 per day, 4-berth motorhomes with bathrooms from $199 to $292 per day, 6-berth motorhomes with bathrooms from $224 to $320 per day, and 4WD campers from $162 to $299 per day. Your final rate also depends on whether you travel one-way and how far you drive. Our chart shows typical daily price ranges by vehicle type so you can compare before you check live availability.

What affects your hire price:

  • Season: Peak periods such as school holidays, summer on the East Coast and the dry season in the Northern Territory cost more than off-peak dates. Expect to pay up to $320 per day for a luxury 6-Berth Motorhome in January.
  • Hire length: Longer hires usually lower the daily rate, and many vehicles have a minimum hire period.
  • One-way travel: Picking up and dropping off in different cities can add a relocation fee, though relocation deals sometimes reverse this.
  • Kilometres: Most rates include unlimited kilometres; Campervan Village has a daily allowance and charge per kilometre beyond it.
  • Bond and insurance: A refundable bond applies at pick-up, and you can lower your damage liability with a liability reduction option.

What’s Included With Every Hire

Every campervan and motorhome hire comes ready for the road, with the essentials included and clear options for cover and extras. Check each vehicle’s listing for the full inclusions, as some items vary by vehicle type.

  • Unlimited kilometres: Available on most vehicles, so you can drive further without per-kilometre charges.
  • Insurance and liability reduction: Standard cover is included, and you can lower your damage liability with a liability reduction option.
  • Refundable bond: A security bond is held at pick-up and returned after your trip, provided the vehicle is returned undamaged.
  • Bedding and linen: Bedding, pillows and linen are supplied so you can travel without packing your own.
  • Kitchen and cooking gear: A fridge, gas cooker and sink come fitted, with cookware and utensils for on-the-road meals.
  • 24/7 online support: Help is available day and night throughout your hire.
  • Roadside assistance: Nationwide breakdown cover keeps your trip moving wherever you are in Australia.

One-Way & Relocation Hire

One-way hire lets you pick up your campervan or motorhome in one city and drop it off in another, so you can drive a route end to end without doubling back. A one-way relocation fee and a minimum hire period may apply, depending on the cities and the vehicle. Relocation offers work the other way: when a supplier needs a vehicle moved between branches, you can hire it for a heavily reduced daily rate on set dates and a set route. One-way hire suits travellers driving classic point-to-point trips, such as Perth to Broome, Darwin to Brisbane, or Adelaide to Alice Springs.

Best Time to Hire a Campervan in Australia

The best time to hire a campervan in Australia depends on the region you plan to drive. Australia’s climate varies from north to south, so the ideal travel window shifts with your route. The guide below breaks the country into three broad zones so you can time your hire to the best driving and camping conditions.

Region Best Months to Hire Why
East Coast, South Australia & Tasmania October to April Warmer, drier weather suits coastal drives, beaches and southern national parks
Northern Territory & the Kimberley (WA) April to October The dry season brings clear roads and accessible outback tracks
Perth & south-west Western Australia Year-round Mild temperatures allow comfortable driving in every season

Peak periods such as school holidays and summer on the East Coast bring higher demand and higher daily rates, so booking early secures both the vehicle and the better price. If your dates are flexible, travelling just outside these peaks often lowers your hire cost.

Popular Road Trip Routes to Explore

A hired campervan or motorhome opens up Australia’s best self-drive routes, from coastal highways to outback tracks. These routes suit different vehicle types and travel seasons, so match your choice to the drive you have in mind.

  • Great Ocean Road (VIC): A coastal drive from near Melbourne past the Twelve Apostles and Grampians National Park, ideal for a 2-berth or 4-berth camper.
  • Red Centre & Explorer’s Way (NT/SA): An inland route linking Adelaide, Alice Springs, Uluru and Darwin, best travelled in the dry season and well suited to larger motorhomes.
  • Coral Coast (WA): A Perth-to-Exmouth run taking in the Pinnacles, Ningaloo Reef and long stretches of coastline, with 4WD campers reaching the remote sections.
  • East Coast (QLD/NSW): The classic Sydney-to-Cairns route past Byron Bay, the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, popular with families in 4-berth and 6-berth motorhomes.
  • Grand Pacific Drive & Blue Mountains (NSW): A shorter escape south of Sydney and into the ranges, good for a weekend hire in a compact campervan.
