Campervan Hire Melbourne Prices
The prices of hiring a camper van vary from supplier to supplier, but generally speaking they start at around $50 per day, and rise depending on how far away you are going. The further you travel, the higher the price will be. This means that if you're planning on travelling across Australia, then it's probably best to book your campervan hire early. If you don't plan on driving too far, then there's no real rush to get a booking in.
You'll find that most campervan hire suppliers offer discounts for longer term hires, so if you're looking to rent out a campervan for a month or two, then you should definitely ask them about these discounts. It might seem like a lot of money upfront, but when you consider that you'll save hundreds of dollars over the length of your trip, it makes sense to pay an extra few hundred dollars now rather than later.
It's important to remember that you'll need to factor in petrol costs into your budget. A good rule of thumb is to multiply the daily cost of renting a campervan by three, and add another ten percent onto that figure. This gives you a rough idea of how much you'll spend each week on fuel. If you drive less than 1000km a week, then you won't need to worry about this, but if you're doing anything else other than driving around town, then you'll need to budget accordingly.
