The rental company

Campervan Village, vans and 4x4s for travelling light in Australia

Campervan Village hires out converted vans and 4x4s fitted with a roof tent in Australia, and the brand is also present in New Zealand. Its Australian network has 11 departure cities: the major metropolises (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth), Hobart in Tasmania, but also rarely served gateways to the North and the Outback, such as Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome and Exmouth.

The range is aimed mainly at travellers in twos or threes: small vans such as the Aventus 2 or the Johnny Feelgood, the Mystery Machine series in 2- or 3-seat or high-top versions, and Grip or Desert Sands 4x4s with up to five berths. Satnav, child seats and camping gear are generally offered as options.

In all the offers observed by CoolDrive, mileage is limited. The observed excess is around €4,650 for most vans and close to €5,900 for the 4x4s.

Our verdict: an affordable offer and a valuable network in the North-West. On the downside: limited mileage, a high excess, no airport depot and no coachbuilt motorhome. For a very long tour or a large family, compare before booking.

Our view

Campervan Village: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Campervan Village is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as two or three and a compact van is enough for you
  • You are watching your budget and want a small vehicle that is easy to park
  • You want to set off from Broome, Exmouth, Darwin or Alice Springs, cities few rental companies serve
  • You dream of a 4x4 with a roof tent for five people
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox to get used to driving on the left
  • You are exploring Tasmania from Hobart

Campervan Village is not ideal if…

  • You are planning thousands of kilometres: mileage is limited in the observed offers
  • You want a shower and toilet on board: the range does not include a coachbuilt motorhome
  • You want to collect the vehicle directly at the airport
  • You do not want to tie up an excess of several thousand euros
  • You are a large family looking for six berths: look at Let's Go Motorhomes or Cruisin Motorhomes
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Campervan Village

  1. Get ready to drive on the left

    In Australia, you drive on the left and the steering wheel is on the right. For the first few kilometres, take your time at roundabouts (which you go round clockwise) and when leaving petrol stations. The automatic models, the majority at Campervan Village, leave your mind free to concentrate on the road.

  2. Work out your distances before choosing

    Mileage is limited in all observed offers, and Australian distances are immense: Darwin and Alice Springs are about 1,500 km apart via the Stuart Highway. Add up the stages of your itinerary, compare them with the included allowance and the extra-kilometre price, then choose the most suitable offer.

  3. Consider excess reduction

    The observed excess is over €4,600 on most vans and close to €5,900 on the 4x4s. On a road network where animals and loose gravel often damage vehicles, an excess reduction option may be worth the cost. Compare its price with the amount you would be prepared to risk.

  4. Choose the season according to the region

    The North (Darwin, Cairns, Broome) is best visited in the dry season, from May to October: the wet season can cut off roads. The South (Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide) is more pleasant from November to April. January, in the middle of the Australian summer holidays, is also the most expensive period.

  5. Avoid driving at dawn and dusk

    Kangaroos, wallabies and livestock often cross the roads at sunrise and sunset, especially outside towns. Plan your stages so that you reach the campsite before nightfall. It also makes it easier to set up a 4x4’s roof tent or prepare a van’s bed.

  6. Read the terms before leaving the tarmac

    Even with a Grip or Desert Sands 4x4, not all tracks are necessarily authorised. Prohibited roads and excluded areas are listed in the rental company’s terms: check them before planning the Gibb River Road, Cape York or Outback tracks.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Campervan Village

Is mileage unlimited with Campervan Village?

No: in all the Campervan Village offers observed by CoolDrive in Australia, mileage is limited. The included allowance and the price of each extra kilometre are shown in the offer. In such a vast country, do the maths: other rental companies in the country, such as Travellers Autobarn or Jucy Rentals, offer unlimited mileage in our observations.

Which Campervan Village vehicle should you choose?

For two, a small van such as the Aventus 2, the Johnny Feelgood or a Mystery Machine 2-Seater is enough for sleeping and simple cooking. For three, go for a 3-seat Mystery Machine, with or without a roof tent. For tracks or for five, the Grip and Desert Sands 4x4s offer five berths thanks to their roof tent.

Can you set off from Broome or Exmouth with Campervan Village?

Yes, Campervan Village has a depot in Broome and another in Exmouth, two towns on the north-west coast that few rental companies serve. This is handy for exploring the Kimberley, the Coral Coast or Ningaloo Reef without driving up from Perth. These departures are especially worthwhile in the dry season, from May to October.

Where are the Campervan Village depots?

The depots are located in town or in the inner suburbs, never at an airport: Caringbah south of Sydney, Ringwood east of Melbourne, Woolloongabba in Brisbane, Bentley in Perth, Winnellie in Darwin, Cambridge near Hobart. Plan a taxi or transfer; the exact address is shown on your booking confirmation.

How much does Campervan Village hire cost in Australia?

Prices observed in October 2026 for a 15-day hire, mandatory fees included: a Campervan Village van starts at €32 per day. The median price of a van is around €69 in July, €72 in April, €79 in October and €107 in January. The Grip and Desert Sands 4x4s start at around €129 and €145 per day.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan Village campervan hire in Australia

Why book Campervan Village with CoolDrive?

CoolDrive compares Campervan Village and other Australian rental companies in a single search, with a price displayed including mandatory fees. You see the mileage, excess and options of each offer at a glance, which matters a great deal with this rental company. Our experts help you choose the model, departure city and the right season.

What excess and security deposit does Campervan Village charge?

In the offers observed in October 2026, the excess is around €4,650 for most vans and around €5,900 for the 4x4s. Some Mystery Machine 2-Seater offers show a much lower excess. The security deposit is generally taken on a credit card: the exact amount is shown in each offer.

Do you need an International Driving Permit to drive in Australia?

If your licence is not written in English, bring an International Driving Permit or an official translation, to be shown with your national licence. A category B licence is enough for all Campervan Village models, which are vans and 4x4s. Each offer shows the driver’s minimum age and the number of years you must have held your licence.

Can you return the Campervan Village van in another city?

It depends on the offer: a one-way hire between two cities in the network, for example from Darwin to Alice Springs, may or may not be offered, and any fees are then shown in the offer. Enter the drop-off city you want in the search engine: it then only displays offers that allow it. With limited mileage, also check that the total distance stays within the allowance.

Can you take tracks with a Campervan Village 4x4?

The Grip, Desert Sands and D5 AWD Adventure Camper 4x4s are designed to leave the main roads, but Australian rental companies often regulate the use of tracks. Authorised, prohibited or conditional roads are listed in the offer’s terms. Read them before planning a famous Outback or Kimberley track.

What equipment and options does Campervan Village offer?

The vans generally have a bed and a simple kitchen area, the 4x4s one or two roof tents. The exact equipment varies by model and is shown in the offer details. Satnav, child seats and camping gear are generally offered as options: book them together with the vehicle and they will be waiting for you at the depot.
