Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Australia
Australia — a country worth exploring
Australia's Highway 1 loops the entire continent for roughly 14,500 km, making it the longest national highway on Earth and a dream route for anyone exploring by campervan or motorhome. From the sandstone monolith of Uluru in the Red Centre to the ancient Daintree Rainforest in Far North Queensland, the country packs an extraordinary range of landscapes into a single road trip. Sydney to Melbourne along the coastal Princes Highway covers about 1,030 km, while the drive from Adelaide to Alice Springs stretches approximately 1,530 km through vast outback plains. You can surf at Bondi Beach, spot wild koalas on the Great Ocean Road, wander the Barossa Valley vineyards, or snorkel the Great Barrier Reef — all within one extended tour. Australia's well-maintained highway network and plentiful rest stops make it particularly welcoming for larger vehicles, and free or low-cost camping areas (known locally as "bush camps") dot the countryside. Whether you prefer a compact campervan for city-hopping along the east coast or a fully equipped motorhome for weeks in the outback, Yescapa connects you directly with local owners across Australia, giving you a wider choice of vehicles and often more competitive hire rates than traditional agencies. With pick-up points in major cities and regional towns alike, planning your Australian adventure is straightforward.
Best time to visit
Australia's seasons are reversed compared to the UK, so the best window depends on where you're heading. For the tropical north — think Cairns and Darwin — the dry season from May to October brings warm, clear days ideal for campervan touring. Southern states such as Victoria and Tasmania shine from November to March, when longer daylight hours open up coastal and mountain routes. Time your trip around events like the Adelaide Fringe in February and March or Vivid Sydney in May and June for an extra dimension to your journey. Booking through Yescapa during shoulder months can unlock better hire rates from local owners, and you'll find campsites less busy outside school holidays.
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
243 km 3–6 days
This iconic 243 km route hugs Victoria's south-west coast from Torquay to Allansford. Stop at the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, and look for koalas around Kennett River. Plenty of campervan-friendly pull-ins and campgrounds line the way.
Tasmania Circuit
600 km 7–11 days
Loop 600 km around Tasmania, taking in Cradle Mountain, Freycinet National Park, and the historic streets of Hobart. The island's compact size suits a motorhome perfectly, with well-spaced campgrounds and mild summer weather from December to February.
Queensland Coastal Route
1,700 km 10–15 days
Covering roughly 1,700 km from Brisbane to Cairns, this east-coast drive passes the Whitsunday Islands and Townsville's Reef HQ Aquarium. Campervan parks dot the coastline, and you can break the journey with detours to Eungella National Park for platypus spotting.
The Red Centre
470 km 5–8 days
Drive 470 km between Alice Springs and Uluru via Kings Canyon. The outback landscape is vast and unforgettable, with designated camping areas at each major stop. A well-stocked motorhome is ideal — fill up on fuel and water before leaving Alice Springs.
Pacific Coast — Sydney to Byron Bay
770 km 5–8 days
This 770 km coastal route threads through the Hunter Valley wine region and past Port Stephens' dolphin-watching beaches before reaching Byron Bay. Campervan-friendly holiday parks are plentiful, and the Pacific Highway makes for smooth, scenic driving.
Stuart Highway — Adelaide to Darwin
3,000 km 10–15 days
Spanning roughly 3,000 km, the Stuart Highway crosses Australia's interior from Adelaide through Coober Pedy's underground town to Darwin's tropical Top End. Free roadside rest areas appear regularly, making it manageable in a well-prepared campervan or motorhome over 10 to 15 days.

Campsites and road information in Australia
Recommended campsites
Australia offers an impressive range of campsites, from beachfront holiday parks on the Queensland coast to bushland retreats in Tasmania and outback stops in the Northern Territory. Most parks provide powered sites with electrical hook-ups suitable for both campervans and motorhomes, along with amenities blocks featuring showers, toilets, and laundry facilities. Many also include camp kitchens, barbecue areas, and swimming pools — a welcome bonus after a long day on the road.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Australia
Most Australian motorways and highways are toll-free, though Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane have urban toll roads that require an electronic pass (e-tag) or short-term visitor pass. Speed limits for motorhomes over 4.5 tonnes are generally capped at 100 km/h on open highways, while lighter campervans follow the standard 110 km/h limit. Rest areas with free overnight parking appear regularly on major routes, especially in outback regions. Road trains — trucks up to 53 metres long — operate in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, so allow extra space when overtaking. Always carry additional water and fuel in remote stretches where service stations can be hundreds of kilometres apart.
Frequently asked questions
Prices vary by season, vehicle size, and location. On Yescapa, you can typically find motorhomes from around £60 to £150 per night, depending on the model and time of year. Because you're hiring directly from local owners through our peer-to-peer platform, rates are often more competitive than traditional hire companies. Booking during shoulder season — April to May or September to October — can bring costs down further.
With Yescapa, you can arrange pick-up in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as smaller regional centres like Cairns and Hobart. Our peer-to-peer model means vehicles are listed by owners across the country, so you can often find a motorhome or campervan close to your arrival airport or starting point, saving you time and transfer costs.
Start by comparing listings on Yescapa, where private owners set their own prices — this peer-to-peer approach often undercuts traditional hire firms. Be flexible with dates: travelling outside December to January school holidays usually means lower nightly rates. You can also filter by vehicle type and features to match your budget, and booking well in advance for popular routes like the Great Ocean Road helps secure the best deals.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to drive and park, especially on tighter coastal roads. Families of four or five are usually more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. On Yescapa, you can filter by berth count and layout, and message owners directly to ask about storage space, child-seat fittings, or any other details before you book.
Yes — a number of owners on Yescapa welcome dogs in their vehicles. Look for the pet-friendly filter when browsing listings. Keep in mind that some Australian national parks restrict dogs on walking trails, so plan your stops accordingly. Many holiday parks across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland have designated pet-friendly sites with fenced areas, making it easy to travel with your four-legged companion.

Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!

Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!

Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
