Motorhome hire across Australia

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

For most motorhomes, no. A standard Australian car licence covers any motorhome up to 4.5 tonnes, which is the large majority of vehicles on Camplify. Only a few very large motorhomes need a light-rigid (LR) licence. The listing shows the weight, and the owner will confirm if you are unsure.

Less than you would think. Most are automatic with a reversing camera, and you sit up high with a clear view. The owner gives you a hands-on go-through at pickup, covering driving, parking and the on-board systems, so you leave confident. Take the first hour gently and you will settle in quickly.

Most motorhomes have a bathroom with a toilet and shower on board, plus a kitchen and solar power for the fridge and lights. That means you can stay self-contained for a night off-grid, not only on powered sites. The listing lists exactly what is fitted.

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, so it is sorted for you.

Most motorhomes are built for sealed roads, and unsealed or off-road driving sits outside the protection cover for a standard vehicle. Stick to the bitumen and the caravan-park network and you have most of Australia covered. Confirm any dirt-road plans with the owner first.

Search motorhome hire by your pickup town and dates, send the owner a request to book, and pay a deposit to confirm. At pickup the owner does a go-through of the vehicle with you and checks your licence, then it is yours for the trip. Everything, including messages, runs through the Camplify app.

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 and choose a motorhome with terms that suit you.

Often, yes. More than 900 of the motorhomes on Camplify are pet-friendly. Use the pet-friendly filter, confirm the details with the owner, and the dog comes too.
