Australia camper van rentals

It’s almost an icon: the beat-up campervan, bouncing down a hot dusty road packed to the brim with backpackers. Campervans are almost synonymous with backpacking in Australia, and there are some great advantages:

You’ll never have to worry about finding a place to sleep. Simply park in one of the many RV parks/camping grounds (or, outside of the cities, find your own little spot), turn off the engine, and lay your head down on the pillow to wake up nice and refreshed, ready to tackle the day.

Campervans provide easy transportation. You’ll never have to worry about missing a bus or catching a flight. There’s something to be said for having your own wheels.

The Australia campervans now available for hire are phenomenal, and offer an unbelievable array of options to ensure your comfort. These add-ons range from solar showers to full-on DVD systems, entertaining you at 100 kilometers an hour. If you’re traveling with a couple of friends, looking for more independence, and the adventurous type, buying or hiring a camping van might just be the best option for you.

Here are some other things to think about when considering whether to hire a camper van:

How long are you going to be in Australia for?

If it’s going to be for longer than 6 months, you might want to consider buying and reselling, rather than renting. Other considerations if you go this route include insurance and registration hassles.

How many people do you plan on traveling with?

For one thing, gas isn’t getting any cheaper. That means that if you’re backpacking solo, a camper van might not be the best option. All of that room inside comes at the expense of gas mileage, and when you think for a moment how large the continent really is, you’ll get an idea of how quickly your gas bill will start to add up.

Where do you plan on going?

Rental rates are often cheapest on the East Coast. If you’re planning on heading towards Perth and the West Coast, make sure you take that fact into consideration. Another thing to think about is exploring the possibility of renting a 4X4 campervan, especially if you plan on heading off the beaten track.
