The Mercedes Sprinter is the benchmark campervan base in Australia. Its high-roof long-wheelbase configuration provides more usable interior space than virtually any comparable van, its turbocharged diesel engine delivers genuine touring fuel economy, and its driving dynamics make it easier to handle than its size suggests. Sprinter conversions on Camplify range from simple and functional to fully-equipped luxury builds — check each listing carefully to find the right spec for your trip. From $154/day.
The Mercedes Vito is the compact option in the Mercedes campervan range, shorter and lighter than the Sprinter but still offering a practical and comfortable platform for two. Easier to drive in cities and towns, easier to park at campgrounds, and better fuel economy on long runs. Vito campervans on Camplify are popular with couples doing coastal routes and road trips where agility matters as much as interior volume. From $128/day.
The Retreat is a premium motorhome built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, fitted out to a high standard with a fixed double bed, full kitchen, ensuite bathroom, and the kind of finish that makes a long trip genuinely comfortable rather than just manageable. If you want a motorhome that feels more like a hotel room on wheels than a converted van, this is where to start. From $257/day.
Tow it up hills. Reverse into tight sites. Cook dinner. Sleep in the bed. Experience the van in actual conditions, not a showroom.
From compact campervans to family tourers to off-road beasts. Chances are the exact model you're researching is already listed.
Hire from someone who's lived with the van. They'll tell you about the storage trick that's not in the manual, the fridge that struggles in 40-degree heat, or why they'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Every Camplify booking includes comprehensive damage protection. Focus on testing the van, not worrying about what-ifs.
How much does it cost to hire a Mercedes campervan?
Mercedes campervan hire on Camplify starts from $120 per day for a Vito. Sprinter campervans start from $154/day, and the factory-built Retreat from $257/day. Rates vary by owner, build spec, and time of year, and longer bookings often come with better daily rates.
What Mercedes campervans can I hire on Camplify?
Camplify lists Mercedes campervans for hire across Australia from local owners, including the Sprinter, Vito and factory-built Retreat. Search by your pickup location and travel dates to see what's available near you.
What's the difference between a Mercedes Sprinter and Vito campervan?
The Sprinter is the full-size option — longer, taller (available in high-roof), and with significantly more interior space for a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and sleeping setup for two adults. The Vito is the compact option: shorter, lower, and with less interior volume, but easier to drive, park, and manoeuvre in urban areas and tight campsite access. For couples who don't need the full Sprinter footprint and value agility over interior space, the Vito is often the right choice.
What's inside a Mercedes Sprinter Retreat campervan?
The factory-built Mercedes Sprinter Retreat comes equipped with a fixed rear bed, a kitchenette with induction cooktop and compressor fridge, a foldout table, rear bench seating, an auxiliary heater, an external awning, a 230V inverter, and multiple USB and 12V charging points. It's a compact but functional setup for two, designed and warranted by Mercedes-Benz.
Is damage protection included when I hire a Mercedes on Camplify?
Yes. Every Camplify booking includes comprehensive damage protection as standard, for the full duration of your hire.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has become the preferred campervan base for Australian travellers who take their van builds seriously. Its combination of a high roof, long wheelbase, smooth turbocharged diesel, and premium safety features makes it a genuinely exceptional platform, and the builds that owners create on top of that foundation range from practical weekend vans to full-time homes on wheels.
On Camplify, you can hire a Mercedes Sprinter campervan, a Vito conversion, or the Retreat motorhome, all from private owners, from $120 a day. Hiring from an owner means a real handover, honest knowledge about the van, and advice you won't get from a rental desk.
The Mercedes Sprinter campervan is the choice for travellers who want maximum space and a properly built-out interior. High roof, standing room, fixed bed, full kitchen setup, solar and lithium battery systems. Sprinter campervans on Camplify come in a wide range of configurations, all built to the owner's specifications. From $120/day.
The Mercedes Vito is the more compact option. It drives like a car, fits in regular parking spaces, and has been converted by owners into surprisingly liveable campervans for couples and solo travellers who want German reliability in a smaller package. From $128/day.
The Retreat motorhome is the premium end of the Mercedes-based range: a coach-built motorhome on a Sprinter chassis with a fixed double bed, full ensuite, proper kitchen, and a level of finish that makes it feel more like a hotel room than a converted van. From $257/day.
Before hiring a Mercedes Sprinter campervan, most people want to know what the layout looks like inside. The answer is: it depends entirely on the owner's conversion, and that's one of the things that makes hiring peer-to-peer on Camplify genuinely useful.
Common Mercedes Sprinter campervan layouts include a rear fixed double bed with under-bed storage, a kitchen bench running along one wall with a sink, cooktop, and 12V compressor fridge, a solar panel setup on the roof feeding a lithium battery bank, and 240V power via an inverter. More elaborate builds add a permanent bathroom, a second living area, motorised roof vents, and full insulation for year-round travel.
Check the photos and description of each listing carefully, and message the owner before you book if you want specifics about the layout, power setup, or water capacity.
"Mercedes rental Sydney" is one of the most searched queries in this category, and with good reason. Sydney is one of Australia's most popular starting points for east coast road trips, and Camplify has Mercedes Sprinter campervans and Vito conversions listed by owners across the Sydney area and throughout New South Wales.
You'll also find Mercedes campervans and motorhomes listed near Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as in regional areas across Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales. Search by your pickup location and travel dates to see what's near you.
A professional Mercedes Sprinter campervan conversion in Australia typically costs between $40,000 and $120,000 depending on the build quality and features. Hiring one on Camplify at $120 to $250 a day is the most practical way to work out what layout you'd actually want, what features matter on a longer trip, and whether van life suits you before committing that kind of money.
Through Camplify you're hiring from the person who built or bought the van. They'll tell you what they'd do differently, what works better than expected, and what the van is genuinely capable of. That knowledge is hard to put a price on.
Check the conversion or fit-out details carefully. Every Mercedes Sprinter and Vito on Camplify is built differently, and every motorhome listing has its own spec. Look at the listing photos, read the description, and ask the owner about the layout, the power setup, and what's included before you commit.
Ask about off-grid capability. Solar capacity, battery size, and whether there's a 240V inverter varies significantly between builds. If you're planning to free camp away from powered sites, confirm the setup matches what your trip needs.
Book early in Sydney and Melbourne. Mercedes Sprinter campervans are among the most popular listings in major cities. Availability in peak periods goes quickly, particularly for well-built conversions with good reviews.
Longer bookings usually mean better daily rates. Most owners offer reduced rates for weekly or extended hires. Worth asking when you enquire.
