Why is it worth booking an RV rental in Australia early?

Open roads, landscapes of bush, desert, and forest, awesome rock formations, and buzzing city life are just part of what makes a camper hire for an Australia road trip so wonderful. Add in endless night skies and stunning coastlines and it adds up to a truly magical vacation. With a campervan in Australia, you can really enjoy this huge and varied country at your own pace. You can pick up a campervan hire in Australia at any time of the year, but the most popular season is between October and March, which is Australia's spring and summer. With demand for camper rentals in Australia high during this period, CamperDays recommends reserving your vehicle well in advance. That way, you guarantee getting the vehicle and dates of your choice. Don't worry if you have to alter your dates, your booking comes with fair cancellation conditions and no extra charge for reservation changes. Add up the cost of hotel rooms, car hire, and dining out and you'll see just how budget-friendly your vacation is when you choose a camper in Australia. Your campervan really is a comfortable mini hotel and restaurant on wheels! Still not convinced? Have a chat with the friendly and knowledgeable CamperDays customer service team.

G'day mates! If you're thinking about exploring Australia with a camper, Western Australia should definitely be on your list. The region offers incredible diversity—from stunning beaches along the coast to the red outback. Be sure to visit the Pinnacles Desert, snorkel in Coral Bay, or hike through the gorges of Karijini National Park. Another tip: make a stop at the wineries in the Margaret River region. With a camper, you can stay overnight at the most beautiful spots, whether in nature or at one of the many campgrounds. Western Australia has something special at every turn.

Driving in Australia

Traffic rules with a motorhome
  • In Australia they also drive on the left just like in the UK. The vehicle in front of you has right of way when two lanes merge into one. It is illegal to use your horn unless absolutely necessary.

  • In Australia toll charges may vary depending on payment method, vehicle and location.

  • It is not recommended to drive around remote places at night as most of Australia’s wildlife is nocturnal and in case of any problems it can take several hours for roadside assistance to arrive.

  • The following speed limits apply when driving in Australia: cities and towns 40-60 km/h (24-37 mph) motorways and country roads 80-110 km/h (49-68 mph).
