I had a great experience booking my campervan for my trip to New Zealand. Rossie was very friendly and answered all my questions clearly and quickly. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who asks
★★★★★ 2 months ago
Amazing customer service and fantastic rates! It was super easy to book a camper van online, and we got very fast responses and almost instant confirmation, even when the van was ‘on request’. Then a few months later we noticed a cheaper price on a different van when searching their website again, and they were so helpful and responsive with coordinating the new booking and new rate. It saved us a lot of money compared with booking directly! Highly recommend their services.

I recently hired a motorhome through Australian Backpackers and had a great experience from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward, communication was clear, and the team was helpful in answering my questions and making sure everything was organised before the trip. The motorhome was clean, comfortable and well equipped, with everything we needed for an enjoyable road trip. The collection and handover process was smooth, and it gave us confidence knowing support was available if we needed assistance while travelling. Overall, Australian Backpackers made the entire experience easy and stress-free. I would happily use them again and recommend them to anyone looking to hire a campervan or motorhome.

We can't say enough good things about the folks at Australian Backpackers. Although we weren't typical customers, Mathijs went out of his way to help us on our recent trip to Sydney. He took time to help us decide where to visit given the limited time we had in Australia and also booked a side trip for us. When we thought we needed to find temporary luggage storage his associate suggested a reasonable option. Great service by friendly people!

Australian backpacker office with Kim was always like coming home! We started there and they prepare us for nearly everything we needed, travel for a year... When we came back to Sydney after our van broke down the first thing we did was going to the office and it felt like coming home. Great support always!

View detailsFrequently Asked Questions
The quick answers to what travellers ask us most before they book.
How does Australian Backpackers work?
We are a comparison and booking service. Search your dates and pick-up location, compare campervans and motorhomes from leading operators side by side, then book the one that suits your trip and budget.
What types of vehicles can I hire?
Lowtop and hightop campervans, motorhomes, and 4WDs with rooftop tents. Each type suits a different group size, budget and style of travel, so use the vehicle guides to find the right fit.
Do I need a special licence?
No special licence is needed for most campervans. A valid standard car licence is enough, and international visitors should also carry an International Driving Permit if their licence is not in English. Check the operator's terms when you book.
What is the minimum age to hire a campervan?
It depends on the operator and the vehicle. Some accept drivers from 18, while others require 21 or 25. Compare options for your age, or ask our team to check for you.
Can I pick up in one city and drop off in another?
Yes. One-way hire is popular for road trips such as Sydney to Cairns or Melbourne to Adelaide. Availability and fees vary by route and season, so compare your dates.
Is a bond or excess required?
Most hires include a refundable bond and an insurance excess. The amounts vary by operator and vehicle, and you can see them before you book.
Can I sleep anywhere in a campervan?
No. Overnight stays are only allowed in designated areas such as holiday parks, campsites and approved free camps. Rules vary by council and state, so always follow local signs.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can, especially for school holidays, Christmas and New Year. Last-minute deals do appear, so it is worth comparing even close to your travel date.
