The benefits of travelling by camper are endless – complete and utter freedom to zoom around the insane ocean roads of Aussie, no late night awakenings from noisy hostel goers, and the ability to do what you want, when you want – forget waiting around for a bus to turn up and get going on the road yeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!

Types of campers

The High Top

Exactly what you imagine when you think of a campervan, this option is epic and has space to stand up, cook, have a lounge area and can fit up to 3 of you!

  • Most common choice
  • Lots of space
  • Sleeps 3 and includes bedding
  • Bed in the loft
  • Running water
  • Fridge, microwave and cooking facilities

2 seater 2 sleeper

This option is a great choice if there are 1 or 2 of you and you are travelling for a short amount of time and on a budget… This style is effectively a car with a bed in the back, super convienent right?

  • For the budget conscious
  • Better for a shorter roadie (2 weeks max)
  • Equipped with all the basics
  • NOTE – you won’t be able to stand up in this option

Motorhome

This option is the RV style of campervan and is perfect if you like things a little more luxurious and there is a big group of you! Travelling with the famo or the crew? A motorhome is perfect for you…

  • Mainly for families or bigger groups
  • Spacious
  • Good for a long-term roadie
  • Fully equipped  with everything you need to cook
  • Some have a shower

How does the rental ACTUALLY work?

If you’ve done some research already you’ll see it is a little overwhelming with all of the campervan rental sites with so many additional costs. We’ve broken it down below to keep you in the LOOP of how the rental actually works

Daily Rental – The campers are priced based on a daily rental price which we can apply our discount to…

Insurance – we ALWAYS recommend insurance for your roadie, better to be safe than sorry! If you don’t take the insurance option expect to put down a bond of $3000

One Way Fees – in the case of some routes you’ll be travelling one way as opposed to a loop, sometimes we can help to waive these fees.

Premium Location Fees – to avoid these, chat to us and we’ll help you choose your locations to save you even more money

Admin Fee – most campervan companies have an admin fee with any booking

Extra Add ons – if you wish to add on table and chairs, GPS or additional insurance cover
