Camper Van Hire Australia

If you're looking for a cheap way to travel around Australia then you should consider hiring a camper van. They are great fun and easy to drive. If you're planning a trip across country, you'll find that they offer good value for money. And if you're going somewhere like Darwin, where there's not much else to see, then a camper van is an ideal option.

The first thing you need to know when renting a camper van is how many people you're allowed to take along. This varies from company to company but generally speaking you're limited to four adults plus two children under 12 years old. The maximum weight of the camper van itself is restricted too, although most companies allow you to add extra luggage. So before booking, check out the rules regarding passengers and luggage.

When you book a camper van, you get access to everything included in the price. That means unlimited kilometres, fuel, water, food and accommodation. In addition, you don't pay anything until you return the camper van. It's worth bearing these things in mind when comparing prices. Some companies charge per kilometre while others include them in the rental cost. There are also some who charge extra for extras such as insurance and GPS systems.

It's important to remember that you won't always be able to park at campsites. Sometimes they're full, sometimes they're closed due to bad weather conditions. So you might end up having to camp instead. This isn't a problem though. Most camper vans come equipped with awnings, tents and other camping equipment.
