When I first started my journey into the world of motorhome travel, I had no idea where to start. I didn’t know how much things cost, nor did I really understand what kind of campervan rental options were available. After doing some research though, I found that there are many different types of campervan rental options available, each offering something slightly different. Some offer unlimited kilometres, others charge per kilometre travelled, while still others allow you to rent a specific model campervan at an affordable price. So if you’re planning on travelling around Australia, here are five campervan rental options that might just suit your needs.

Firstly, let me explain why you should consider renting a campervan instead of buying one. There are two main reasons for this – firstly, they’re generally less expensive than purchasing a new car, secondly, they give you freedom to explore wherever you like. In fact, most campervans come equipped with everything you need to get away from it all, including cooking facilities, bedding, washing machine, fridge, microwave, TV, DVD player, stereo system, etc. This means that you don’t even need to bring anything along with you when you leave home.
