Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Australia
Australia — a country worth exploring
Australia's Highway 1 circles the entire continent for roughly 14,500 km, making it the longest national highway on Earth and a dream route for anyone exploring by campervan or motorhome. From the red sandstone monolith of Uluru in the Northern Territory to the lush Daintree Rainforest in Queensland — one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world — the country delivers an extraordinary range of landscapes. Sydney to Melbourne along the coastal Princes Highway covers about 1,030 km, while the drive from Adelaide to Alice Springs stretches approximately 1,530 km through the outback. Along the way you can stop at the Twelve Apostles rock formations on the Great Ocean Road, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns, or wander through the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Many roads outside major cities are long and straight, so a well-equipped motorhome with a good water tank and solar setup makes remote travel comfortable. Campervans are equally popular for shorter coastal hops between well-serviced holiday parks. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire directly from local owners across Australia — whether you need a compact campervan for a couple or a spacious motorhome for the whole family — often at more competitive rates than traditional hire companies.
Best time to visit
Australia's seasons are reversed compared to Europe, so the southern summer (December to February) is ideal for exploring Victoria, Tasmania, and New South Wales by campervan. For tropical Queensland and the Top End, the dry season from May to October brings warm days and cooler nights — perfect for a motorhome trip through Kakadu National Park. Events like Vivid Sydney in May and June or the Melbourne Cup in November add extra reasons to time your visit. Book early for the Australian summer holidays, as it is the most popular period. With Yescapa, peer-to-peer hire often means better availability and more flexible pricing year-round across Australia.
The best road trips in Australia
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
The Great Ocean Road
243 km 3–6 days
This iconic 243 km coastal drive in Victoria winds from Torquay to Allansford, passing the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. Allow 3–6 days to enjoy seaside towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay. Well-suited to campervans, with plenty of holiday parks along the route.
Tasmania Circuit
600 km 7–11 days
A 600 km loop around Tasmania over 7–11 days, taking in Cradle Mountain, Freycinet National Park, and the historic port of Strahan. Roads are winding but well maintained, and campsites are plentiful. A motorhome gives you the comfort to linger in cooler highland areas.
Queensland Coastal Route
1,700 km 10–15 days
Covering roughly 1,700 km from Brisbane to Cairns, this 10–15 day route follows Australia's eastern seaboard through the Whitsundays and Townsville. Stop at Airlie Beach for reef trips and Mission Beach for rainforest walks. Holiday parks with powered sites are easy to find for campervans and motorhomes.
The Red Centre
470 km 5–8 days
This 470 km outback adventure over 5–8 days links Alice Springs to Uluru and Kata Tjuta via the Stuart and Lasseter highways. Carry extra water and fuel. A well-stocked campervan is ideal for the remote desert campsites and unforgettable sunrises over Australia's red heart.
Pacific Coast — Sydney to Byron Bay
770 km 5–8 days
Stretching 770 km over 5–8 days, this route heads north from Sydney through the Hunter Valley and Coffs Harbour to Byron Bay. Coastal holiday parks welcome campervans and motorhomes alike. Detour to Port Stephens for dolphin watching and Nambucca Heads for quieter beaches.
Stuart Highway — Adelaide to Darwin
3,000 km 10–15 days
One of Australia's great long-haul drives, the Stuart Highway covers 3,000 km over 10–15 days from Adelaide through Coober Pedy and Alice Springs to Darwin. Rest stops are well spaced but distances between towns are vast, so a motorhome with good water and fuel capacity is recommended.

Campsites and road information in Australia
Recommended campsites
Australia offers a wide network of holiday parks, caravan parks, and bush campsites spread from the tropical north to the temperate south.

Many coastal parks sit right beside the beach, while inland sites give you access to national parks and outback scenery.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Australia
Australia's highways are generally toll-free outside the major cities. In Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, electronic tolling applies on certain motorways — you can set up a visitor pass or e-tag online before you travel. Speed limits for motorhomes and campervans typically match standard vehicle limits: 110 km/h on most highways and 130 km/h on parts of the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory. Vehicles over 4.5 tonnes may face lower limits on specific roads. Rest areas with basic facilities are well spaced along major routes, which is especially useful on long outback stretches where fuel stops can be 200 km or more apart.
Frequently asked questions
Prices vary depending on the vehicle size, season, and location. On Yescapa, you can typically find campervans from around €70–€120 per day and larger motorhomes from around €120–€200 per day. Because Yescapa is a peer-to-peer platform, you hire directly from local owners, which often means more competitive daily rates compared to traditional hire outlets across Australia.
Through Yescapa, you can arrange collection from owners based in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as smaller regional towns. This peer-to-peer model means pick-up points are spread right across Australia, so you can start your trip closer to the region you want to explore rather than being limited to a single depot.
Travelling during the shoulder seasons — March to May or September to November — often brings lower prices and quieter roads. On Yescapa, you can compare listings from private owners across Australia, filter by price, and message owners directly to discuss your needs. Booking well in advance and being flexible on pick-up location can also help you secure a better deal.
For a couple or solo traveller, a compact campervan with a double bed and small kitchenette is comfortable and easy to drive. Families or groups of four to six are usually better off with a larger motorhome that offers separate sleeping areas and more storage. On Yescapa, each listing details the number of berths and layout, so you can match the vehicle to your group size and the type of Australian roads you plan to travel.
Yes, a number of owners on Yescapa welcome pets on board — just look for the pet-friendly filter when browsing listings. Keep in mind that some Australian national parks and holiday parks have restrictions on dogs, so it is worth checking individual park rules before you set off. Always confirm directly with the vehicle owner that your pet is welcome and ask about any specific conditions.

We had an excellent experience renting our campervan from Laura. Everything was exactly as described, the van was well equipped and reliable, and we had no issues at all throughout our trip. It was a fantastic way to explore Southern France, giving us the freedom to visit beautiful towns, beaches and countryside at our own pace. Laura was great to deal with from start to finish and made the whole process simple and stress free. Highly recommended! 😊 Oisín & Ellen (Ireland)
