Camperman, simple vans for touring Australia's east coast
Camperman hires out high-top campervans in Australia. Its depots are spread across eight cities, with a strong presence on the Queensland coast: Brisbane, Gold Coast, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Cairns. Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide complete the list. Several departure points are hosted by partners, for example at Awesome Campers in Brisbane or at Surfers Rent a Car on the Gold Coast.
The range remains short and easy to understand: six models sleeping 3 to 5, from the Juliette 3 and the Jade 3 for a couple or a trio to the Family 5 for a small family. The Maxie 4 Deluxe has a shower and toilet. Depending on the model, the gearbox is manual or automatic.
In all the Camperman offers that CoolDrive recorded in October 2026, distance is not capped and the excess is around €310.
Our verdict: an economical choice with no odometer to keep an eye on, tailored for a trip along the east coast. Its limitations: no large motorhome or 4x4, no departures from Perth, Darwin or Tasmania, no airport depot, and some travellers have found the cancellation terms inflexible. Read them before booking.

Camperman: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Camperman is ideal if…
- You want to drive up the Queensland coast, from Brisbane to Cairns
- You are travelling as two or three and want a simple, economical van
- You plan to drive a lot without watching the odometer
- You prefer an excess of a few hundred euros rather than several thousand
- You are travelling as a family of four or five in a vehicle that remains easy to handle
- You want a shower on board without moving up to a coachbuilt motorhome
Camperman is not ideal if…
- You are starting your trip in Perth, Darwin, Alice Springs or Hobart
- You are aiming for Outback tracks: look at RedSands Campers or Adventure Rentals
- You are a group of six or want a large, fully equipped motorhome
- You want to collect the vehicle as soon as you step off the plane
- Your dates may change and you need flexible cancellation
Our tips for booking with Camperman
-
Make the Bruce Highway your common thread
With departures from Brisbane, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Cairns, Camperman lends itself well to the Bruce Highway, which runs along the Queensland coast for about 1,700 km. Plan stops for the Whitsunday Islands from Airlie Beach and for the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns.
-
Choose the gearbox before the model
The Juliette 3, the Jade 3 and the Family 5 have a manual gearbox, whereas the Maxie models and the Paradise Family 5 are automatic. If you are not used to changing gear with your left hand, as you do in Australia, opt for an automatic model.
-
Take the wet season in the north into account
Between Townsville and Cairns, the climate is tropical: the dry season, from May to October, is the most comfortable time to sleep in a van. During the wet season, heat, storms and flooded roads complicate the trip. In the south, around Melbourne and Adelaide, the southern summer is, by contrast, the best time.
-
Find out the exact address of your depot
Several Camperman departures take place at partners' premises, and none is located at an airport: Coburg north of Melbourne, Northgate or Virginia in Brisbane, Mermaid Waters on the Gold Coast. Check the address on your confirmation and plan the journey by taxi or public transport.
-
Read the cancellation terms
Former customers have found Camperman's refund policy rigid in the event of a change of plans. Before confirming, read the offer's cancellation and amendment terms and wait until your dates are certain, especially for a trip booked well in advance.
Your questions about Camperman
How much does a Camperman hire cost in Australia?
According to the rates CoolDrive recorded in October 2026 for 15-day hires, mandatory fees included, a Camperman van is offered from €44 per day. The median price is around €59 in July, €60 in January and April, and €69 in October. The Maxie 3 starts at around €58 and the Maxie 4 Deluxe ranges from €64 to €101 per day.
Is mileage unlimited with Camperman?
Yes. All the Camperman offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, whatever the model, include unlimited mileage. This is valuable in Australia: linking Brisbane to Cairns already represents about 1,700 km without detours. However, factor fuel into your budget, as that is what increases with the distance covered.
Which Camperman van should I choose?
For a couple, the Juliette 3 or the Jade 3 are enough, with a manual gearbox, as is the Maxie 3 in its automatic version. If you want a shower and toilet, take the Maxie 4 Deluxe, which accommodates four people. Families of five will choose the Family 5 or the Paradise Family 5, the latter offering four berths.
Where are the Camperman depots?
Camperman is mainly present in Queensland: Brisbane, Gold Coast, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Cairns. Further south, you will find it in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. The depots are in town or in the suburbs, sometimes at partners such as Awesome Campers or Travel Shack. There are no departures from Perth, Darwin or Tasmania.
Can I hire a Camperman as a family?
Yes, two models have five travel seats: the Family 5, with five berths and a manual gearbox, and the Paradise Family 5, automatic, with four berths. These are vans, so space remains limited for five. Book child seats with the hire and check the number of suitable seat belts in the offer.

FAQ — Camperman campervan hire in Australia
Why book Camperman with CoolDrive?
On CoolDrive, Camperman appears alongside the other Australian rental companies in a single search, with a rate that already includes mandatory fees. Mileage, excess and extras are visible before booking, so you can compare with peace of mind. Our experts answer your questions about the model, the departure depot and the route, before and during the trip.
What excess and security deposit apply with Camperman?
In the offers recorded in October 2026, the Camperman excess is around €310, for the Juliette 3 as well as for the two Maxie models. The exact amount is shown in each offer. For the security deposit, each offer states the amount and how to pay it, most often by credit card.
What licence and age do I need to drive a Camperman van?
All Camperman models are vans that can be driven with a category B licence. A licence written in a language other than English must be accompanied by an international driving permit or a recognised translation. The driver's minimum age and the required length of time holding a licence are stated in the offer: check them before booking, especially for a young driver.
Can I return the Camperman van in another city?
A one-way hire may be offered between two cities in the network, for example from Brisbane to Cairns, but this is not systematic and fees may be added. To check, enter a different return city in the CoolDrive search engine: only compatible offers are displayed, with their full price.
Can I cancel or change a Camperman booking?
The cancellation and amendment terms depend on the rental company and the offer chosen. Some travellers have found them strict at Camperman, particularly for a late change of plans. Read them in the offer details before paying and, if in doubt, ask our experts for guidance before confirming your booking.
What is on board a Camperman van?
Camperman vans are designed for simple sleeping and cooking: a bed, a kitchen area and storage, under a high roof that makes it easier to stand up. Only the Maxie 4 Deluxe adds a shower and toilet. The exact list of equipment and extras is given in the details of each offer.
Hire a Camperman van in Australia with CoolDrive Nomad
Camperman suits travellers who want a simple, reasonably priced van to explore Australia's east coast. Its network follows the coastline, from Melbourne and Sydney up to Cairns, with five departure cities in Queensland, plus Adelaide for the south.
