Campervans

Campervans allow you to create your own itineraries and explore the country at your own pace. You can park wherever you want or in a camp site if you want to use the facilities. It’s the perfect way to explore the Australian culture and country without breaking your budget.

What are Campervans?

By definition, a campervan is a vehicle that provides both transport and accommodation. Usually they have a small kitchen, refrigerator and grill. Large models include water heaters, toilet and shower.

What to Expect?

Don’t expect a 4 stars hotel because you’ll be disappointed. Obviously, campervans are for adventurous travelers, for those who prefer the wild side of vacations. You are expected to cook your own meals –unless of course your budget allows for eating out – and basically do everything you do at home… but now you are on the road.

How about the Cost?

If you do it the right way, it will drastically lower your budget. During the high season –January to April – you can pay as much as AUD99 per day for renting a campervan. The standard insurance is included in the price. Of course, you can also find cheaper vehicles at around AUD 44 per day, hence renting a campervan for a week might cost around AUD 360.

What do I need to rent a Campervan?

Besides money, you will need an International Drivers License. Make sure to have your passport with you all the time (of course you can’t enter the country without it) and don’t forget the travel insurance.

Where can I park?

Basically you can park anywhere, unless you are not allowed to. If you want to benefit from the camping sites facilities, it’s probably a better idea to choose this option. Plus, the campervans enthusiasts seem to form a pretty interesting community so the fun is included!

Campervan or Hotel…What Should I Choose?

That’s up to you, honestly. If you are a person who likes to drive around and explore nature, the campervan is for you. The freedom offered by campervans appeals more to the young crowds than to other categories. While, if you prefer to roam around the city and be pampered in deluxe hotels, you will hate the campervan.
