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

Pick up a campervan in Melbourne and you're in the ideal place to start an adventurous road trip in Victoria or further afield. Spend a few days enjoying the attractions of the city before heading off to cruise along the Great Ocean Road admiring the beautiful scenery as you go. Or, head south to explore the delights of Phillip Island. Campervans hired in Melbourne are in high demand during the peak season of November to March. As this is one of the best periods for enjoying a road trip, CamperDays suggests booking your campervan rental in Melbourne at least three months in advance. By doing so, you'll get the pick of vehicles and dates as well as the best price deals. Don't worry about committing yourself so early. Should your vacation dates change, there are no charges for altering your reservation. Your booking also comes with a fair and transparent cancellation policy and the helpful support of the CamperDays customer service team. With a vacation in a camper hired in Melbourne, your time is your own. You can set your own itinerary and enjoy the fun of waking up somewhere different every day. Camper vacations are also very budget-friendly. To check this, compare their cost with the total cost of booking car rental and hotel accommodation along with the price of regular dining out. If you save money when booking your vacation, you can afford to stay longer!

Maui Beach Elite, Melbourne, written on 6 months ago

The vehicle had a good engine. On receipt of the vehicle it was dirty, navigation system defective and unusable, grey water display defective, no toilet chemi available for the first day, camping table defective and unusable, awning unusable as there was nothing to tie it down and could not be used when there was little, body battery unusable, it did not even last half a day.

Be careful in colder temperatures, the heating works with fixed current, it can get quite chilly when camping outdoors, but otherwise a great camper.

Apollo Euro Tourer, Melbourne, written on 5 months ago

On the whole, the camper was okay. The furnishings were profit-orientated. Partly very impractical and cheap workmanship. Sparsely equipped with crockery and cutlery. Unfortunately there were no mosquito nets except in one roof window. This is not really possible for Australia. Tyres were quite worn. Tyres should have been replaced urgently. Bathroom okay, but unfortunately without hand basin. Had to be done in the kitchen sink. Converting the seats into a bed was very awkward. We then never did it. Disadvantage, you can't get to the storage compartments under the seats. The engine and workmanship of the campervan are fine. However, this camper's equipment seems to be standard here. We have seen several with the same equipment, even from other providers.

Apollo Euro Camper, Melbourne, written on 8 months ago

14 days on the east coast of Australia: The handover and briefing on the vehicle were very helpful. The return was quick and uncomplicated. Apart from a few signs of wear inside and out, the vehicle and the on-board technology worked without any problems. It could have been a little cleaner in some places.

The vehicle was a bit older, but in good condition. The size of the vehicle was very good in terms of handling and there was no problem with parking.

Mighty Double Down, Melbourne, written on 4 months ago

The vehicle fitted the bill perfectly for our roadtrip. We had no major problems despite covering more than 1000km in 4 days. The van was even very pleasant to drive. However, the van had a few minor faults (gas bottle door that opened by itself, side door that didn't close properly) + the cleanliness wasn't great (there were traces of spilt drinks and a bit of dirt in the luggage traps). In terms of comfort, the lower bed is quite comfortable but a little small for 2 adults. The top bunk was a bit hard. Overall, we were satisfied with our road trip.

Very friendly service. They took a lot of time to explain the functions of the camper. The vehicle was in good condition and there were helpful tips on destinations and what to look out for, e.g. with regard to road tolls.

Hippie Hitop Camper, Melbourne, written on almost 2 years ago

The camper was really great for our trip because we had plenty of space, could cook in the camper if the weather didn't play ball and the bed was big. However, it was quite old and worn (dirty), one of the hobs didn't work properly and the posters on the bed were quite worn out. It didn't bother us too much, but if you expect something else for the price, you're in a bad position. In addition, the landlord requires an international driving licence (even with a German driving licence, which is in Latin script), which Camper days from Germany only writes in its small print. So we had quite a hardship on site and had to spend extra money to have the German driving licence translated, which we did not encounter with other providers (Bargain Car Rental for a "normal" rental car). It would have been nice if they had pointed this out again in the countless emails, just for customer service reasons. When we enquired, they were not very solution-orientated, which was a shame. In addition, the premium package (insurance, no deposit, camping equipment, etc.) probably didn't cover everything, as we had to pay a flat rate on site for each day for floor, roof and windscreen damage. This was also not included and could have been included directly in the premium package for an additional charge. All in all, we had a great time, but would have liked to have been taken in hand a little better and the price/performance ratio was also okay.

We got an upgrade to a Euro Mini instead of the Cheapa Hitop, which was really great! I would definitely recommend a vehicle with toilet & shower, we were very flexible with it.

The perfect route for adventure seekers is just three hours away from Melbourne. On this route there are lots of places to stop off and go hiking.
