Six campervan hire options for your next weekend away

There’s no need to stress if you don’t have your own set of wheels, or your own car isn’t up to a road trip, as there are plenty of other options when it comes to van or car hire.

Depending on your plans - where you’re going, and for how long for - there’s an entire market of vans, cars, and campers for your choosing! From budget to lux options, you’ll be making that camp fire in no time at all!

Probably one of the more iconic choices, Wicked Campers has all your campervan options sorted! With options ranging from campervans to small cars, 4WD and AWD, there’s definitely something on offer to help you have the best adventure possible.

They’re also based in 13 locations around Australia, so wherever you are, and whenever you’re planning on camping, there’s no doubt going to be a Wicked Camper spot close by.

If you’re planning a road trip that’s a bit more retro, Hippie Campers could be just what you’re after.

Similar to Wicked, the site offers a “Hippie Drift” or “Hippie Hitop” to get you on the road and ready to explore! The vans are also equipped with everything to make your travels a little lux and very stylish, with air-conditioned driver's cabin, a built-in refrigerator and double bed. All you need is someone to explore with!

Jucy offers a range of vans that cater to all kinds of camping road trips and budgets. From the El Cheaps Sleeper to the JUCY Champ, you’ll no doubt feel more like you’re glamping than camping. There’s also the choice of hire cars, if that’s more up your alley.

Having used this company while travelling around New Zealand during my uni years, I can attest to the comfort of the bed, and how handy it was to have a fridge and a mini gas-cooker all conveniently in the camper. It definitely made for some memorable camping times.

For those with a bit more cash to splash, or who are intending on hitting the road for a major camping adventure, there is plenty on offer to make your road trip as comfy as possible.

Offering a range of campers to suit your needs and group size, Britz has it all, from 2 berth vehicles, to a 5 berth Safari 4WD! Yes that’s right, if you’re heading to the outback, they have you covered.

From sleeping inside the camper, to a ground tent, to even a rooftop one, there’s plenty on offer to make your trip a comfortable success. Britz even have a 24/7 team on-hand if you run into any issues, so no matter where you might be, there’s always going to be someone around to help.

You’ve definitely seen them on the road, and similar to the above, Apollo also offers more high-end campers.

From full on Motorhomes, to car hire, to caravans, there’s definitely an option to keep you on the road exploring for longer with a budget for every traveller.

Apollo has the largest fleet of campervans, motorhomes, and caravans in the country, and can sleep between two and six people. You don’t even have to get a special licence, with all Apollo vehicles able to be driven with just a normal car licence.

The vehicles are decked out with everything you’ll need – even a kitchen sink! So you won’t be lugging boxes and numerous bags around either.

Of course, there’s one final option if you hit the campsites and roads regularly, but you don’t want to spend a heap of cash each time - DIY!

I have had pals with bigger cars or vans that they’ve decked out, chucked a mattress, some cute fairy lights, and they’ve hit the road to make some camping memories!
