Renting a campervan in Australia
Campervans are a popular alternative to a rental car since they give you somewhere to stay. However they are more expensive than regular car rental and you’ll often have to pay to stay in a caravan park so you can have a shower. Also because you spend a lot of time sleeping in your campervan, you generally miss out on being part of the backpacker scene.
Campervan rental companies vary wildly. Large established players like Britz, Kea and Maui sell top quality vans that are professionally fitted out and ideal for a long trip; however cheaper campervan companies like Wicked will rent you a clapped out 15-year-old van with a shoddy conversion into a campervan. However Wicked are among the cheapest, they may rent you a van without a credit card and your van will have a funky paint job.
Several companies that rent fully equipped campervans complete with camping gear and prices are quite reasonable for longer rentals. Campervan rental companies include:
