Mighty Campers, the thl group’s budget option

Mighty Campers is the budget brand of tourism Holdings (thl), the New Zealand group that also owns Britz and Maui. In Australia, its vehicles depart from eleven depots spread across ten cities: Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth, Broome, Darwin and Alice Springs. You can spot them from afar thanks to their very colourful livery.

The catalogue comes down to six models, all with an automatic gearbox. Couples can choose between the high-roof Highball and Double Down, the Duo and the Mighty 4WD, a four-wheel-drive pop-top campervan. For families, the DoubleUp and Big Six overcabs sleep four or six people.

CoolDrive has not yet observed any Mighty Campers offer on the Australian market: mileage, excess and insurance are shown in each offer. The rental company advertises campervans equipped for cooking and sleeping, with utensils and sheets on most models.

Our verdict: a simple way to travel on a budget, with a network that also covers the North and the Centre. Things to watch: the fees added at the counter if the insurance chosen is minimal, the lack of vehicle delivery and availability that tightens in high season.

Our view

Mighty Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Mighty Campers is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as a couple and looking for a simple campervan on a tight budget
  • You are travelling as a family and want to sleep six in a Big Six overcab
  • Your itinerary starts from Darwin, Broome or Alice Springs
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox to get used to driving on the left
  • You like vehicles that do not go unnoticed

Mighty Campers is not ideal if…

  • You want the vehicle delivered to your hotel: it is collected at the depot
  • You plan to travel in the height of the Australian summer, booking at the last minute
  • You want to know observed prices before running a search: CoolDrive does not yet have any for Mighty Campers
  • You are a group heading for the tracks: the only 4WD model has just two berths
  • You are looking for a top-of-the-range motorhome: look at Let's Go Motorhomes instead
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Mighty Campers

  1. Read what the basic insurance covers

    With a budget rental company, the headline price often comes with minimal cover. Before booking, check the excess in the offer, what is included and the price of additional cover. That way you will know what may be offered to you at the counter and can decide calmly, not at the moment you pick up the keys.

  2. Carry out a thorough vehicle inspection

    Before leaving the depot, walk around the campervan, photograph the bodywork, tyres and windscreen, and check that every defect is recorded on the contract. Also check the inventory: crockery, sheets, stove, chairs. Something missing that is noticed on the spot is sorted out in two minutes, much less easily 500 km away.

  3. Book early for December and January

    The Australian summer holidays, from Christmas to the end of January, and the dry season in the North push up demand. If you are aiming for a DoubleUp or Big Six overcab, book without delay: several months in advance gives you a wider choice of models and depots.

  4. Choose the right campervan for two

    The Highball and the Double Down have a high roof, for more headroom than a standard campervan. The Mighty 4WD, with a pop-top roof and four-wheel drive, is aimed at authorised tracks. Compare the layout of the bed, kitchen area and storage in the details of each offer.

  5. Note your depot’s address

    Most Mighty Campers depots are in industrial areas: Northgate in Brisbane, Somerton in Melbourne, Winnellie in Darwin, Redcliffe in Perth. Only the Hobart depot is located on the airport site. Plan a taxi or a ride-hailing car from your arrival point and check the opening hours in your confirmation.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Mighty Campers

How much does a Mighty Campers hire cost in Australia?

CoolDrive does not yet have observed prices for Mighty Campers in Australia, and no figure will be put forward here without data. The price depends a great deal on the model, the city and the season: a Duo in the Australian winter in Adelaide is nothing like a Big Six in Cairns in July. Run a CoolDrive search with your dates to get the price, mandatory fees included.

What is the difference between Mighty Campers, Britz and Maui?

The three brands belong to the thl group and often share the same addresses in Australia. Maui targets the premium end, Britz relies on a wide range of campervans and 4x4s, and Mighty Campers positions itself on small budgets with six models. To choose, compare the equipment, excess and mileage of each offer in the search.

Which Mighty Campers model should you choose for a family?

For four, the DoubleUp overcab offers four berths and a larger living space than a campervan. With three or four children, the Big Six goes up to six seats and six berths. Both models have an automatic gearbox. Their size calls for a little more care in town, at petrol stations and on small country roads.

Can you drive on tracks with a Mighty Campers vehicle?

The Mighty 4WD is the only four-wheel-drive model in the catalogue. It opens up some of the tracks, but certain roads known to be difficult may remain excluded by the rental company. The two-wheel-drive campervans and overcabs are in principle restricted to sealed roads. Check the list of authorised roads in the offer before planning an unsealed detour.

Where are Mighty Campers’ depots in Australia?

The network has eleven depots: two in Sydney, one on Botany Road in Banksmeadow and the other at Bankstown Aerodrome, then one each in Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth, Broome, Darwin and Alice Springs. These addresses make a one-way hire conceivable, for example from Cairns to Brisbane along the coast, if the offer allows it.

No, not really. Several email exchanges to correct the amount of the invoice requested after the deposit (which, it is true, was due to a modification on our part). A nonexistent welcome or rather one provided by another company due to the absence of the managers. A duvet cover that smelled like vomit and no offer to exchange linens midway as mentioned in our package. The return of the vehicle, however, went well.

Hello, what a surprise it was when we arrived at Cooldrive (in PERTH) to learn that we are required to take out insurance on site! Over 500 euros!! which apparently was supposed to be included in the initial rental!! The reservation contracts are very poorly worded!

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Mighty Campers campervan hire in Australia

Why book Mighty Campers with CoolDrive?

The CoolDrive search puts Mighty Campers campervans alongside those of Jucy, Spaceships or Travellers Autobarn for the same dates and the same depot. The amount shown takes mandatory fees into account, and each offer details the excess and mileage. A question about insurance or choosing a model? Our experts answer before and during your trip.

What is the excess with Mighty Campers?

As no Mighty Campers offer has been observed in Australia, we have no excess amount to give. It appears in each offer, along with the cover options that reduce it. The security deposit is generally taken or blocked on a credit card at departure: check that its limit is sufficient before you fly.

Are sheets and crockery provided?

The rental company states that most of its campervans come with cooking utensils, sheets and some basic camping equipment. The contents vary by model and offer: read the list before booking. At departure, count the plates, pans and blankets, and report anything missing to the agent before setting off.

Can you pick up a Mighty Campers vehicle at the airport?

Only the Hobart depot is located on the international airport site. The others are on the outskirts, such as Parafield Gardens in Adelaide or the Stuart Highway in Alice Springs. Plan the transfer from the terminal and, after a long-haul flight, a night’s rest before the key handover is often the wiser choice.

Do you need a special licence to drive a Mighty Campers vehicle?

All six models can be driven on a car licence, including the Big Six overcab. If your licence is not in English, an international driving permit or an official translation is normally required along with the original. Each offer sets its own requirements for age and years of driving: read them before confirming.

When should you travel with Mighty Campers, depending on the region?

Departing from Darwin, Broome or Cairns, the dry season, from around May to October, offers passable roads and less humidity. Hobart and Melbourne are best explored from December to March. Alice Springs is a good choice in April, May or September, when the days are mild. Sydney, Brisbane and Perth can be enjoyed almost all year round.
