Campervan hire across Australia

Standard campervans are built for sealed roads, and unsealed or off-road driving sits outside the protection cover, so it is best avoided in a regular van. If your trip needs dirt roads or remote tracks, filter for a 4WD campervan whose owner lists it as off-road capable.

A full Australian car licence is enough for campervan hire on Camplify, and most campervans are automatic. Overseas and EU licences are accepted as well. Drivers need to be 21 or over; drivers aged 21 to 24 pay a small additional excess. The owner photographs your licence at pickup as a standard check.

Campervans on Camplify are set up for two, with a proper bed rather than a fold-out afterthought, a small kitchen for cooking, and storage for a week's gear. Many have a toilet on board; for showers, most travellers use the facilities at caravan and holiday parks. The interior photos on every listing show exactly what you are getting, so you can picture the space before you book.

Yes. A valid full licence from overseas, including EU licences, is accepted. If your licence is not in English, carry an International Driving Permit alongside it. The owner confirms the details with you in the booking thread before pickup.

Every Camplify booking includes protection as standard, and you can reduce your excess for extra peace of mind. A refundable security deposit applies and is shown on the booking summary before you pay. The cover is built into your booking through Camplify's own protection, so it is sorted for you.

Search campervan hire by your pickup town and dates, send the owner an enquiry or request to book, and pay a deposit to confirm. You meet the owner at pickup for a quick handover and licence check, then the van is yours for the trip. Everything, including messages, runs through the Camplify app.

Owners set their own daily rate, so prices vary by van, season and location. Many owners build in weekly and longer-stay discounts that apply automatically when you select your dates, so a week often works out cheaper per night than a couple of days. The full price is shown before you commit.

Each owner sets their own cancellation policy, and it is always shown on the listing before you book. If flexibility matters for your trip, check the policy on the listing and choose a van with terms that suit you.

Often, yes. Around half the campervans on Camplify are pet-friendly. Use the pet-friendly filter, confirm the details with the owner, and your dog can ride along. Many owners are dog people themselves and will point you to pet-friendly camps along the way.

Our camping guide for beginners walks through the basics: what to pack, how to choose a caravan or holiday park, and what to expect on pickup and dropoff days. A two-berth van and a short trip close to home is the easiest way to find your feet before a bigger adventure.
