We are Joe and Eunice Hurley - a married couple from Brisbane, Australia. In mid 2018, we quit our jobs, sold most of our belongings and flew to London, where we bought a vintage 1988 Fiat Ducato van. We renovated the interiors and then travelled all over Europe for 13 months in what was the road trip of our lives. We clocked over 31,000km and experienced the European continent in all its seasons. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to start a vintage campervan rental idea when we got home so that more people can experience the amazing adventure and freedom that comes with vanlife. This is when Ventured Campers was born. Living a simple and adventurous life on the road without having to compromise on the cosy comforts of home. We hope to inspire others to venture out and explore Australia in one of our rolling homes.

We had an amazing time hiring Bilbo! The van was super cute, comfy, and is fully decked out with everything you need for an awesome trip. Joe and Eunice made the entire process so smooth and easy! Thank you so much and we will definitely be back in the future :)

We've hired few times from Joe and Eunice and each time the experience has been phenomenal. The van is fully decked out with everything you need for an epic trip under the stars. But the highlight each time has been the incredible humans Joe and Eunice are. You can tell from the very first interaction that they take pride in their business and go above and beyond to ensure your trip is memorable. Nothing is ever too difficult. They even stock up coffee and tea so you can relax on your first morning out. Yes you can hire from Bitz or the like and we have in the past, but quality and support you get from Joe and Eunice before, during and after your trip I've never seen matched. Thank you for an incredible trip.

This was a unique and pleasant experience. The van has an upgraded engine and did the job on local and freeway driving. All equipment required for a trip was provided. Van was clean and well presented. The old-style compact van was perfectly equiped with its hand-made pull out kitchen, table and storage system. The owners were friendly and helpful and the camplify experience was smooth.

We had such a great weekend in Joe and Eunices Bilbo camper van! It was clean, comfortable, and really well set up with everything we needed. Super easy to drive and perfect for a quick getaway. Would definitely hire again!

Had an amazing trip in Jean!! As first time campers, we did not know what to expect but the whole van is completely easy to utilise and made camping a fun and relaxing experience. Would highly recommend :) thanks Joe and Eunice!!

We had a great week with Bilbo! Joe was very friendly and accommodating. Van is well setup has everything you need. Although it lacks power steering and gets pretty hot on long drives its full of character and lots of power from new engine.

Really enjoyed our week in Joes refurbished van. Very comfortable and came with everything we needed - it was ideal for our purposes. A great festival base and easy set up / pack down for moving around. Joe was super friendly and helpful when we picked up and dropped off the vans and always responsive if we had any questions. Highly recommended Ventured Campers if you are planning a trip in or around the Brisbane area! Thanks again Joe!

Joe was incredibly friendly and informative when making the booking, picking up the van and returning it. Hes decked it out so well with very clever additions and amenities. Loved all the USB ports and pull out kitchen. Its a retro van so the air con isnt like modern cars but we were lucky the weather was relatively mild so could drive with the windows down. We also bought some cheap yoga mats to make the bed a bit softer. Wed definitely book it again. Thanks Joe and Eunice!

This is a vintage van, which shows every bit of its 40 years of age. The air con (external unit bolted in front of glove box) did not work and just leaked all over the floor, the engine constantly ran at over 110 degrees heating up the van to such a point that you could not stand on the floor and this did nothing to dispel the strong smell of fuel through the van. The electrics in the back of the van heated up the inside when charging. These issues just made the whole van an oven on wheels, alongside the old vinyl seats was in no way at all comfortable to drive. The pictures of the van show an internal gas cooker, however, this has been removed, there are buttons missing from controls and the curtains do not meet together and need a good clean and there is zero storage space for bags and clothes. he flyscreens supplied and in the pop top had all split and torn and the canvas it self is worn through and not waterproof at all. In essence, it is not like the pictures supplied. There is no power steering which makes it tough to maneuver into spots and you have to fit the steering from drifting along the highway. However, the linen was clean and fresh, the foam mattress was comfortable and the fridge worked well. This van is really only for a short trip up the highway for a couple of days camping in a caravan park, in the cooler winter months.

Probably the best holiday Ive ever had. Travelling in a van is something I wanted to do for a long time and Jean did not disappoint! Exceeded all expectations and would choose Joe and Eunice to hire a van from again. Really great communication and there was never anything they werent willing to take time up to help us with. Super grateful to have had this as a first experience. 10/10
