Q: Can I charge my phone?

Absolutely – there are 12-volt plug points throughout to charge your mobile devices.

Part 3 of how RatPack actually started.Corporate travel killed Sammy's love for the industry, no morals, no ethics, poor customer service. So he decided to build something else instead.That something else started as an old bus, RatPack's website painted straight onto the side, driven around and worked out of long before there was an office to call home.Not long after, Mikey came on board, Sammy's cousin, co-owner and operator of RatPack Travel. We really have been a family business from day one.That's where RatPack really began.Part 4: same guy, very different trip...

Part 2 of how RatPack actually started.After the farm work, Sammy did a full 26,000km lap of Australia, then spent two years in New Zealand with his brother Jakey (aka the Camper King), somehow always ending up back on the road.That much time travelling teaches you a few things. Three lessons stuck with him:
Talk to people. Some of the best tips, detours, and stories came from strangers, not guidebooks.The best days were never the planned ones. The detours and last-minute stops beat anything booked in advance.A van means never being stuck to one plan. Change the route, change your mind, no cancellation fees to worry about.Part 3: what working for a corporate travel company taught him, and why he built the opposite...

Part 1 of how RatPack actually started.Meet Sammy, founder of RatPack Travel.Before any of this existed, he was a uni graduate with no real plan, so he booked a one-way ticket out of the UK and headed for Australia. Along the way he spent 93 days picking zucchinis on a farm, a long way from campervans, but it was the start of a much longer story.Part 2: the 26,000km trip that came next...

Screens off, actual conversations on!!A campervan trip for the school holidays means no hotel rooms to keep tidy, no restaurant meltdowns, and kids who remember the road trip more than they'd remember another week at home.They learn to entertain themselves. You get to watch them do it somewhere beautiful instead of the back seat of the same old drive.

Bed's sorted. You're welcome.

Anyone can send you a list of van hire companies. That's not the hard part.The hard part is knowing which one's actually right for your trip, your dates, your budget. That's where a real person helps.Here's how it works: send us your dates and locations, we compare the market for you, FREE, and send the best options straight back via message or call.Travel advice from actual travellers, not just a search results page.Free 1:1 trip planning, get in touch - link in bio!!

Today's the first day of SPRING down here in Oz and New Zealand, and the mornings are already warming up.If your roadie is still sitting in the "someday" pile, now's the time to move it into the "actually happening" one!!

Did someone say "I need a holiday"...!?This is your sign to book that roadie!!

No bookings, no bill, just eggs, coffee, and wherever you decided to park last night!!

Red dirt, empty roads, and a whole lot of nothing in the best way.This is what Darwin to WA actually looks like.#SeeAustralia @australia
