Getting to set out exploring Australia in a Spaceship is something that people are lucky enough to do every day, but setting out in a Hybrid model takes this luck to a level of luxury! I was fortunate enough to take one of these beautiful vehicles for a Campervan Holiday away up to the Bay of Islands.
Although Australia is an island it is also a continent and for this reason alone it is large. Very large. To get around the country there is a very large and competitive air travel network. The southern parts of the country also offer fairly substantial train travel while the more remote areas of the northern part of the country mainly only offer bus travel.
A basic campervan vehicle can take two forms. One type is the Camper Wagon or Campa Car which is often a large Ford or Holden Station wagon (you may know this type of vehicle as an Estate) which comes equipped with full camping equipment including tents, Gas cooker, linen, cookware and crockery and camp chairs for each person.
The most popular type of vehicle Campervan Rental Australia is the HiTop. The popular Hitop Camper is a dream to drive, powered by a 2.4L unleaded petrol engine. This modern vehicle suits couples, but also accommodates a child (8-13 years).Quality fixtures and fittings such as a fridge, gas stove and sink mean cooking in your Hitop is a breeze. In the evenings, bunk down in the spacious double bed and additional overhead bed.
Most Campervan and Motorhome Hire websites advertise vehicles that are 6 berth Winnebago Motorhomes. However often these are not actually available and we have, on many occasions while acting as an agent for another Australian company in Cairns, found the customers have just stepped off a plane to discover that what they are getting in the way of a 6 berth motorhome, just is not what I have shown them.
So if you are booking your trip from outside Australia please really make sure that the vehicle you are getting is what you actually saw on the website and believed you will be getting. Have the company Email you a picture of the type of vehicle. You may need it!
Whomever you book your Campervan for Hire through they will usually send you some form of Confirmation that will detail your rental. read this thoroughly and if there any items on your Confirmation ask the company to clarify it.
In general Rent Campervan Australia is very safe. There are the odd one or two "shifty" operators but all in all it is a very safe way to see the country and there is an amazing variety of Australia too see.
