Traveling around Australia in a campervan is the freest way to see the country, and often more affordable than you'd think. Your transportation and your accommodation are one and the same, so you stay flexible and make smart use of your budget.
Australia has a huge choice of campervans and rental companies. That's exactly what makes it hard to pick the right one.

Renting a campervan in Australia? Here's what you need to know
Traveling through Australia by campervan gives you total freedom. The country is huge and its nature is incredibly varied: from pearl-white beaches and crystal-clear ocean to tropical rainforest and rugged outback.
In a campervan you experience these places in a way a rental car and hotels just can't match.
I lived in Australia for 3 years and did several road trips, so I can tell you from experience: a campervan trip through Australia is one you'll never forget.
There are also many parts of Australia where accommodation is hard to find. In a campervan you're completely flexible and you decide where and when you stop. That freedom is exactly what makes a road trip through Australia so special.
Why a campervan is so ideal in Australia:
- More affordable than you think: your transportation and accommodation in one
- As much freedom and flexibility as you want: stop wherever you like and change your route along the way
- Amazing places to spend the night: from beaches to national parks and rivers
- No packing and unpacking: everything just stays in your campervan
- The right type of campervan for every trip: from budget to luxury
Which campervan should you choose?
Australia has a huge choice of campervans, rental companies and pickup locations. You can often drop off your campervan in a different city from where you picked it up, so long one-way road trips are easy to do.
Which campervan suits you best mostly depends on your route, how long you're traveling, your budget and how much comfort you want. Unlike in New Zealand, in Australia you don't always need a self-contained campervan to spend the night cheaply. Along many routes you'll find campgrounds, rest areas and designated free camping spots with basic facilities.
Basic campervan
- Cheaper
- Allowed at designated free camping spots
- Ideal in good weather
- Less comfort (you cook outside, and in some types of campervans you can't stand up)
- Limited luggage space

With so many rental companies and campervan types, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Every rental company has different terms and conditions, and every campervan differs in layout, insurance and price.
