Jucy, colourful vans for touring Australia
Born in New Zealand, the Jucy brand also hires out converted vans in Australia, where its green and purple vehicles are easy to spot on the road. The Australian network covers the major coastal cities, Sydney (two depots), Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth, but also Cairns, Darwin and Hobart for Tasmania.
The range is limited to vans, with an automatic gearbox on all the models listed: the Coaster for two, the Compass, the Champ and the Crib Plus with up to four berths, and the high-roof Condo, also for four. These are simple, practical vehicles, designed for travelling light rather than for great comfort.
All the Jucy offers recorded by CoolDrive in Australia include unlimited mileage. The recorded excess ranges from around €1,855 on the Crib Plus to nearly €3,100 on the Coaster and the Condo.
Our verdict: a good choice for a budget road trip, with an extensive network, generally welcoming staff and vehicles that are easy to drive. On the other hand, there are no coachbuilt motorhomes, no 4x4s, and the vehicle return formalities can sometimes take time.

Jucy Rentals: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Jucy Rentals is ideal if…
- You are looking for a simple, economical van for a road trip for two
- You plan to clock up the kilometres: all the offers recorded are unlimited
- You are setting off from Darwin, Cairns or Hobart, as well as the major coastal cities
- You want an automatic gearbox so you can concentrate on driving on the left
- You are travelling as four and a four-berth van is enough for you
Jucy Rentals is not ideal if…
- You need an on-board shower room: here Jucy only hires out vans
- You are aiming for Outback tracks: look at the 4x4s from RedSands Campers or Adventure Rentals instead
- You are travelling as five or six and need more than four berths
- You want to set off from Alice Springs or Broome, which Jucy does not serve
- You would rather not commit to an excess that can reach €3,100
Our tips for booking with Jucy Rentals
-
Choose the model according to the number of berths
For two, the Coaster is enough, with its two seats and two berths. For three or four, take the Crib Plus, the Champ or the Condo, whose high roof makes it easier to stand up. Compare the excess too: in our records, the Crib Plus's is much lower than that of the Coaster and the Condo.
-
Make the most of unlimited mileage, but count the hours
Mileage is not charged in the offers recorded, leaving you free to plan a long route, for example from Brisbane to Cairns along the Queensland coast. Distances remain enormous: plan stages of a few hours' driving per day to enjoy the beaches and parks, and to avoid fatigue at the wheel.
-
Get used to driving on the left
Australia drives on the left, with the steering wheel on the right. The automatic gearbox in Jucy vans helps a great deal: all that remains is to watch your position in the lane and the direction of roundabouts. Drive your first kilometres away from rush hour, especially when leaving the Sydney or Melbourne depots.
-
Set off at the right time for the region
Darwin and Cairns are best visited during the dry season, from May to October, when the tracks and parks are accessible. Hobart, Melbourne and Adelaide are more pleasant during the southern summer. In our records, the lowest prices fall in July and April, the highest in October.
-
Keep some headroom on your credit card
At departure, the security deposit is most often held on a credit card, and the recorded excess reaches nearly €3,100 on some models. Check your limit before the trip, or consider the excess reduction option if it is offered in your offer.
Your questions about Jucy Rentals
How much does a Jucy hire cost in Australia?
According to our prices recorded in October 2026 for a 15-day hire, a Jucy van starts at €41 per day, mandatory fees included, for a July departure. As for medians, allow around €69 per day in July, €71 in April, €83 in January and €134 in October, the most expensive month in our records. The exact price depends on your dates and departure city.
Is mileage unlimited with Jucy in Australia?
Yes: in all the Jucy offers recorded by CoolDrive in Australia, mileage is unlimited, whatever the van. It is a real advantage on a continent where a one-way trip from Sydney to Cairns exceeds 2,000 km. The other rental companies recorded in the country often offer the same, but not all of them: check the mileage line of each offer.
Which Jucy van should I choose for my trip?
For a couple, the Coaster offers two berths and two seats. For a family or a group of friends, the Crib Plus and the Champ have five seats and four berths, the Compass four seats and four berths. The high-roof Condo also takes four people, with more headroom inside.
What is the difference between Jucy Rentals and Chill'd by JUCY?
Both brands carry the Jucy name, but their ranges differ. Jucy Rentals hires out only vans with two to four berths, from 10 Australian cities. Chill'd by JUCY offers vans and larger motorhomes, such as the six-berth Big Kahuna, departing from 5 cities. Run a search to see which ones have vehicles available on your dates.
Where can I pick up a Jucy van in Australia?
Jucy has depots in Sydney (Mascot and Banksmeadow), Melbourne (Tullamarine and St Kilda), Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth, Cairns, Darwin and Hobart. The depots are located in town or on the outskirts, not in terminals. Mascot and Tullamarine are close to the airports: allow for a taxi or shuttle, and check the opening times in your offer.

FAQ — Jucy campervan hire in Australia
Why book Jucy with CoolDrive?
A CoolDrive search places Jucy vans side by side with those of other Australian rental companies, with rates where mandatory fees are already counted. Mileage, excess amount and options appear in each offer, which makes comparison easier. Our experts answer your questions before departure, and your booking benefits from the packs offered by CoolDrive.
What excess should I expect with Jucy in Australia?
In our October 2026 records, the Jucy excess ranges from around €1,855 on the Crib Plus to €3,112 on the Coaster and the Condo. The exact amount is given in each offer. The security deposit, generally taken on a credit card, is released after the van is returned, if no damage is found.
Can I return the Jucy van in a different city?
A one-way hire between two Australian depots is possible depending on the offer, with any fees. To check, enter a different arrival city in the search engine: it then shows only the vans available for that journey, fees included. A Melbourne-Sydney or Brisbane-Cairns trip saves retracing your steps along the coast.
What age and licence do I need to hire from Jucy?
Each offer states the required age and the number of years of driving licence requested; a surcharge may apply to young drivers. Jucy vans can be driven on a car driving licence. A licence written in a language other than English must be accompanied by an international driving permit or an official translation.
Can I take a Jucy van on dirt tracks?
Jucy vans are made for sealed roads, and the rental company's terms generally restrict driving on dirt tracks. Read them before planning a detour to a national park or along an unsealed road. For the Outback or Cape York, a 4x4 rental company such as RedSands Campers or Adventure Rentals will be better suited.
When should I hire a Jucy van to pay less?
In our records, the lowest Jucy rates fall in July and April, while October stands out as the most expensive month. Booking early is still advisable during Australian school holidays. July is the southern winter: ideal for the North, from Darwin to Cairns, but cool in the South and in Tasmania.
