Geelong Campervan Hire

The first thing you should know when looking for Campervan hire Australia is that there are two types of campervan hire providers. The first is the traditional supplier who has been around since the early 1980s. These suppliers tend to be larger businesses who offer campervans at a much higher price than the smaller operators. They often have a fleet of vans and employ drivers to drive them. The second option is the independent operator. This means they don't own any vans but instead rent out their own personal car space from someone else. They generally charge less than the traditional suppliers, but you'll find that they won't always be able to offer the best deals.

When choosing between these two options, it's important to remember that if you're planning on travelling long distances then the cost difference isn't going to be significant. If you're not sure where you plan to travel, though, then it might be worth checking both options out before making a decision. It's also worth noting that some of the bigger companies will offer discounts for longer term bookings, so it pays to check into those offers too.

If you decide to go down the independent route, you'll need to think carefully about how many nights you intend to stay. There are plenty of websites offering free accommodation, such as couchsurfing.com, but you'll need to be careful here. Make sure you read reviews of the places you're staying at, and try to get references from friends and family.
