Motorhome rental in Australia and living in the motorhome

Would you like to rent a campervan in Australia? In Australia, motorhomes come in all shapes and sizes. Each vehicle is equipped with a kitchen (sometimes very basic and sometimes quite extensive) with a gas stove and refrigerator, sometimes with microwave or BBQ. Cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, glasses, hand and tea towels are included. There is also a sitting area that can often be converted into a bed. If you do not wish to convert the motorhome twice every day, it is better to take a larger model, where the sitting area remains a sitting area also at night.

Of course, bedding is provided, with most rentals it is included in the price, otherwise it can be rented separately. Maps and camping guides are also provided in the vehicles or camping depots. We recommend that you bring soft cases instead of the "hard cover" cases. Soft cases take up less space empty and are easier to store in a closet of the vehicle.

Preparations about renting a motorhome in Australia

It is very easy to travel by campervan in Australia, provided you take into account the vast distances. Motorhome rentals in Australia always include unlimited mileage. However, it's best to plan ahead so you don't have to drive hundreds of kilometers every day to return the campervan on time. You can usually get by with 200 km per day.

This also allows you to enjoy the attractions and relax during your vacation in Australia. When renting a campervan in Australia, climate will play an important role in planning. This is because the seasons are opposite to Europe. In the north, the rainy season is from about November to May. So consider carefully whether you want to drive from Cairns to Brisbane or from Brisbane to Cairns.

Driving rules in Australia

Are you going to rent a motorhome in Australia? Then it is important to know the traffic rules in advance. Driving in Australia is on the left. You'll soon get used to this, but it's certainly not obvious during the first few days. There is strict legislation regarding drunk driving and speeding. Driving a few kilometers too fast can result in a hefty fine of hundreds of dollars! There are strict rules regarding child seats that you can rent with the motorhome. Also, never transport more people than there are seat belts.

Motorhome rentals in Australia

You can rent a motorhome in Australia immediately after arriving in Australia, but it is not recommended to actually drive after the long flight from Europe and time difference. One or two nights in a hotel will give the necessary rest. There are the various chains of campsites like Big 4, Top Tourist Parks etc. and private campsites.

There are almost always showers, washing machines and clothes dryers available. The barbecue is also rarely missing. The average price including electricity is AU$30 to US$60 per night. In National Parks it is a lot cheaper to stay overnight, sometimes even for free. However, there are then very basic facilities but you enjoy the beautiful nature.

Booking campsites in the land of Down Under

Are you going on a campervan trip in Australia and want to reserve campsites? Often it is not necessary to reserve a campsite. During peak season, Australian school vacations, on national holidays and in highly sought-after areas, it is recommended that you reserve a pitch in advance. Often you can still call 1-2 days in advance and discuss a place. You can book the campsites of the various chains as well as private campsites and National Parks campsites very easily online.
