The rental company

RedSands Campers, converted 4x4s for Western and Northern Australia

RedSands Campers is an Australian rental company geared towards travel off the main highways. Its network is concentrated in the West, North and South of the country: Perth, Broome, Darwin and Adelaide, with two depots each in Darwin and Adelaide, all located in the suburbs. These cities open onto the Coral Coast, the Kimberley, the Top End or the Flinders Ranges.

The fleet is almost entirely four-wheel drive, and always automatic. It includes 4x4s with a roof tent for 2 or 5 people, in Standard and Premium versions, and the Wanderer series (Wanderer, Outback, Luxe), 4x4 campers for two. To stay on the bitumen, The Cruiser and the Frontier Motorhome are two-wheel-drive models for two travellers.

In the offers CoolDrive observed in October 2026, the distance travelled is never capped. The excess follows the drivetrain: around €1,550 on two-wheel-drive vehicles, about €3,100 on 4x4s.

Our view: a consistent choice for exploring Western Australia and the Top End with a vehicle that can leave the tarmac, and a team known for its route advice. Its limits: few models beyond two berths, no depot on the east coast or at an airport, and a much higher budget for the 4x4s than for the range’s two-wheel-drive vehicles.

Our view

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

RedSands Campers is ideal if…

  • You dream of tracks and bush camps in the Outback, with a real 4x4
  • You want to set off from Broome towards the Kimberley or from Darwin towards Kakadu
  • You plan to cover long distances: no mileage limit observed
  • You like sleeping up high, in a roof tent
  • You are travelling as four or five and want a converted 4x4 for the whole group
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox for driving on the left

RedSands Campers is not ideal if…

  • Your trip starts in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Cairns
  • You are looking for a large family motorhome with a living unit
  • You want to collect the vehicle directly at the airport
  • You do not want to risk an excess of more than €3,000 on a 4x4
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with RedSands Campers

  1. Choose the drivetrain to suit your route

    A road trip on sealed roads, for example from Perth to Margaret River or from Adelaide to the Barossa Valley, works very well in two-wheel drive with The Cruiser or the Frontier Motorhome. The 4x4s are worthwhile for tracks. In our data, the excess goes from around €1,550 to €3,100 between the two.

  2. Time your dates for the dry season in the North

    Around Broome and Darwin, the wet season runs roughly from November to April: heavy rain, flooded rivers and tracks often closed. For the Kimberley or the Top End, aim for the dry season instead, from May to October. Starting from Adelaide or Perth, the southern spring and autumn are more pleasant.

  3. Read the list of permitted tracks

    A hire 4x4 cannot necessarily go everywhere. The offer’s terms specify the unsealed roads accepted and those that are excluded or subject to approval. Check them before planning your route, especially for the remote tracks of the Kimberley or the desert.

  4. Do a full walk-around of the vehicle at departure

    Before leaving the depot, photograph the bodywork, windscreen and tyres, unfold the roof tent and check the inventory of camping equipment. Report any defect on the condition report: it is the best way to get your security deposit back without argument on return.

  5. Plan the journey to the depot

    RedSands Campers depots are in the suburbs: Balcatta in Perth, Berrimah or Winnellie in Darwin, Glenelg North or Somerton Park in Adelaide. Allow for a taxi or ride-hailing car from the airport or hotel, and check the exact address of the chosen depot on your confirmation.

What travellers ask

Your questions about RedSands Campers

How much does a RedSands Campers hire cost in Australia?

According to our prices observed in October 2026, for a 15-day hire with mandatory fees included, RedSands Campers starts at €140 per day in July, with The Cruiser in two-wheel drive. Median prices range from €159 in July to around €215 to €227 per day in October, January and April. The Wanderer Outback and Luxe 4x4s were observed at between €269 and €335 per day.

Is mileage unlimited with RedSands Campers?

Yes, in all the RedSands Campers offers observed by CoolDrive in October 2026, mileage is unlimited, in two-wheel drive as well as four-wheel drive. This is invaluable in the West and North, where stages often exceed several hundred kilometres. Terms may however vary with the period or length of hire: reread those of your offer.

Which RedSands Campers model should I choose?

For two on sealed roads, The Cruiser or the Frontier Motorhome are enough. For tracks as a couple, the Wanderer series brings together 4x4 campers, from the basic Wanderer to the Luxe. The 2 Person 4WD Camper models rely on the roof tent, and the 5 Person 4WD Camper models take up to five travellers. Equipment details appear on each model listing.

Can I drive on tracks with a RedSands Campers 4x4?

RedSands Campers 4x4s are made to leave the bitumen, but not without rules. Each offer specifies the unsealed roads permitted, those excluded and any restrictions in the wet season. Also check track conditions with the local authorities before setting off, and keep water and fuel in reserve.

Which departure city should I choose with RedSands Campers?

It all depends on the region you are aiming for. Perth opens onto the Coral Coast and Ningaloo, Broome onto the Kimberley, Darwin onto Kakadu, Litchfield and the Top End, and Adelaide onto the Flinders Ranges and the road through the centre to Uluru. The North is best visited in the dry season, from May to October.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — RedSands Campers campervan hire in Australia

Why book RedSands Campers with CoolDrive?

By going through CoolDrive, you see RedSands Campers alongside other Australian rental companies, with a final price that already contains the mandatory fees. Excess, mileage and options appear before payment, which makes it easier to choose between two- and four-wheel drive. Our experts also help you fine-tune the route and season, before departure as well as on the spot.

What excess and security deposit apply with RedSands Campers?

Our October 2026 data show an excess of around €1,550 for The Cruiser and the Frontier Motorhome, and around €3,100 for the 4x4s. The security deposit is generally taken on a credit card at departure, for an amount stated in the offer. Read its refund conditions carefully, and ask us about any reduction options.

What licence and age do I need to drive a RedSands Campers vehicle?

RedSands Campers models can be driven with a car licence. If your licence is not in English, bring an international driving permit or a recognised translation, to be presented with the original. The required age and number of years of licence appear in each offer: check them, especially for a young driver or for the 4x4s.

Can I do a one-way hire with RedSands Campers?

A trip between two cities in the network, such as Broome and Darwin or Perth and Broome, may be offered depending on the dates and model, often with a one-way fee. To find out, enter a different return city in the CoolDrive search: the offers displayed are those that accept this trip, with their full price.

How does a RedSands Campers roof tent work?

On roof-tent models, the bed unfolds above the vehicle and is reached by a ladder, which frees up the interior space and keeps you off the ground. The handover at the depot shows how to open and close it: practise before setting off, as you have to fold it away at each stage. The number of tents depends on the model.

Where are the RedSands Campers depots?

RedSands Campers has six depots in four cities: Balcatta in Perth, Bilingurr in Broome, Berrimah and Winnellie in Darwin, Glenelg North and Somerton Park in Adelaide. None is located at an airport. The exact address and vehicle handover times appear in the offer and then in your confirmation.
