Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Australia
Australia — a country worth exploring
Australia's Highway 1 circles the entire continent for roughly 14,500 kilometres, making it the longest national highway in the world and a dream route for road-trip enthusiasts. From the sandstone pillars of the Twelve Apostles along Victoria's coast to the ancient rainforests of the Daintree in Far North Queensland, the country delivers an extraordinary range of landscapes within a single journey. The distance from Sydney to Perth is about 3,930 kilometres, while Melbourne to Cairns stretches approximately 2,860 kilometres — both routes offering wildly different scenery, from red desert plains to lush tropical coastline. Uluru rises 348 metres above the surrounding outback, the Great Barrier Reef extends over 2,300 kilometres along the Queensland shore, and Tasmania's Cradle Mountain rewards hikers with alpine wilderness rarely found elsewhere on the continent. Driving a campervan through Australia means total freedom to chase these contrasts at your own pace, pulling over at coastal lookouts or bush campsites whenever the mood strikes. A motorhome gives families and groups the comfort of a rolling home base across vast distances. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners spread across every state, choosing from a wide variety of vehicles that suit your route, your budget, and the size of your crew — a peer-to-peer approach that keeps things personal and flexible.
Best time to visit
Australia's seasons are reversed compared to the Northern Hemisphere, so the warmest months run from December to February. For tropical regions like Queensland, the dry season between May and October is ideal for campervan travel, coinciding with events such as the Vivid Sydney light festival in late May and June. Southern states like Victoria and Tasmania are best explored from November to March, when longer days open up coastal and mountain routes. Booking through Yescapa during the shoulder months of March to April or September to October often means more competitive peer-to-peer pricing and quieter campsites across the country. Plan ahead for the December–January school holiday period, as it is Australia's most popular travel window.
The best road trips in Australia
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
The Great Ocean Road

Campsites and road information in Australia
Recommended campsites
Australia offers an impressive network of campsites stretching from tropical beachfronts in Queensland to alpine settings in Tasmania and red-desert grounds in the Northern Territory. Most holiday parks provide powered sites with full hook-ups suitable for motorhomes, along with amenities such as showers, laundries, camp kitchens, and dump points. Many also welcome campervans on unpowered grass or gravel pitches, giving flexible options for every budget and travel style.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Australia
Australia has no toll roads on major intercity highways, though some urban motorways in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane use electronic tolling — a pass or tag is required and can be arranged online before you travel. Speed limits for motorhomes and campervans generally match standard vehicle limits: 110 km/h on most highways and 100 km/h in some states. Vehicles over 4.5 tonnes may face lower limits and require rest-stop compliance under fatigue management laws. Fuel stations can be hundreds of kilometres apart in outback areas, so topping up at every opportunity is essential. Road trains — trucks up to 53 metres long — share outback highways, and overtaking them safely requires patience and clear visibility.
Frequently asked questions
Motorhome hire in Australia typically ranges from around AUD 100 to AUD 250 per night, depending on the vehicle size, season, and location. Larger motorhomes with full bathrooms sit at the higher end, while compact campervans can be more affordable. On Yescapa, you hire directly from private owners across Australia, which often means more competitive pricing compared to traditional rental depots — especially during shoulder seasons.
Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can arrange to collect a motorhome from private owners in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as regional towns across Australia. Because vehicles are listed by locals, pick-up points are spread right across the country, making it easy to start your trip close to your arrival airport or wherever your adventure begins.
Travelling during Australia's shoulder seasons — March to April or September to October — is one of the best ways to keep costs down. On Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing means owners set their own rates, so you can compare options and negotiate directly. Booking well in advance, being flexible with pick-up locations, and choosing a smaller campervan for shorter routes are all practical ways to find a deal that fits your budget.
For solo travellers or couples, a two-berth campervan is compact enough to handle city parking and narrow coastal roads across Australia. Families of three to four are usually comfortable in a four-berth motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. Groups of five or more should look at larger six-berth motorhomes. On Yescapa, you can filter by berth count and vehicle layout to match the right size to your group and route.
Yes — a number of owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles, so you can bring your dog along for the adventure. Each listing clearly states whether pets are allowed, making it simple to filter your search. Many Australian holiday parks also have pet-friendly sections with off-lead areas. Just check individual campsite rules in advance, especially in national parks where dogs may be restricted on certain trails.

Anne Mette Nør
5 / 5
Eric's van has everything you need. It was clean and the design was functional, and easy to convert the bed and table. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the fridge and water tap was a nice luxury for a camping trip. Communication and handover from Eric was easy, and he was helpful and fast to reply, when we had small questions along the way. Highly recommend!
