Campervans are typically utility-sized vans that are outfitted with the basic essentials for you to be self-sufficient: beds, sinks, crockery, cooking facilities, and a fridge. Depending on the size of the vehicle, you may also find toilet and shower facilities, but these are often reserved for larger motor homes.
What to Get?
Exploring the Brisbane in a motor home is a great form of escapism. You can sleep in comfort in places so remote that there are no hotels for miles around. You can wake up at dawn, pull up the blinds and watch the morning sun hoist its way up the cliffs and pinnacles of Monument Valley or pull into a picnic spot and cook a slap-up meal as the evening sun warms the grey granite of Yosemite into a rose gold. Camping never felt so good. This all can be achieved through Campervan Rental.
How to Get?
Australia has an incredible network of basic but beautiful state park and national park campsites. Facilities vary hugely: some have shower blocks and full electric hookups for motor home; the more remote just offer pit lavatories. Some don't allow reservations, but the most popular sites do and they can get booked up months ahead.
Important Things
- Be prepared to drive standard; most Campervan has a manual transmission.
- You drive on the left-hand side of the road from Brisbane.
- Our usually have to be at least 21 years old to rent a Campervan.
- Although it is common to pick up and drop off your vehicle in different locations, check with your
- Rental Company to ensure they have a drop off location at your desired final stop and confirm if
- There are any extra fees to do this.
- Insurance charges vary from company to company; some have mandatory charges while others do not.
- Advise the rental company regarding your desired itinerary.
- Rental companies like Aussie Campervans will not allow you to travel on, including unpaved or remote roads. At other times of year, some roads are impassable or require a special vehicle snorkel.
- The rental company should fit you with a vehicle that is appropriate for your planned route and time of year.
- Equipment and conveniences included with the Campervan vary. Make sure you have everything you want. Be prepared to supplement along the way with creature comforts like extra blankets for the cold climes, or a coffee pot for your morning cup.
- There are stretches of road in Australia so remote that rusted out broken-down cars are simply abandoned at the side of the road, eerily making you wonder what happened to the owner. Make sure your vehicle is solid (especially if you buy it), so yours doesn’t become one of the rusty
Reasonable Rental for Campervans
The expense of camping surprised me. I figured that with a Campervan, I had free accommodation at my fingertips. But you cannot camp inside city limits, or at the side of the road, and sometimes even rest areas are off-limits for overnight stays. So unless you do some “renegade camping”, you will often have to pay to park your wheels for the night.
The widespread popularity of campervan rental caravan parks is unmatched and that is why people prefer it. Powered Campervan sites will cost you up to $40/night, and un-powered sites can cost up to $25/night.
Brisbane is best seen from the road, which explains the popularity of Aussie road trips among both travelers and locals. And with proper planning and budgeting, your own Campervan holiday in Australia can be incredibly fulfilling without emptying your wallet.
