Need campervan hire in Brisbane? Compare 100+ campervans and motorhomes from Australia’s top rental brands and book with instant confirmation. Brisbane is the ideal launch point for Queensland road trips — easy airport access, multiple depot locations, and simple routes north to Noosa, K’gari (Fraser Island), Airlie Beach and Cairns.
What you can do here: compare prices, filter by vehicle type (budget vans → luxury motorhomes), check live availability, and lock in a one-way rental if you’re continuing to Sydney, Melbourne or Cairns.
Brisbane sits between the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast and connects quickly to the Bruce Highway for northbound travel. It’s also a practical pickup city for international travellers flying into Brisbane Airport (BNE) and for Australians connecting from Sydney/Melbourne.

Most bad campervan experiences come from choosing the wrong vehicle category. Use this checklist before you book:
Budget Backpacker Vans
Affordable, simple setups for classic East Coast travel. Great for short trips and tight budgets.
2-Seater Hi-Top Campervans
More internal space and comfort while staying easy to drive and park.
4-Seater Pop-Top Campervans
A strong all-rounder: more sleeping capacity, better living space, and still manageable on the road.
4WD Campervans
Designed for adventure-style travel. Not all suppliers allow off-road driving — always confirm permissions.
Luxury Motorhomes
Comfort-first travel with more space and often bathroom facilities.

Can I pick up in Brisbane and drop off in Cairns?

Many suppliers require drivers to be 21+. Some categories may require 25+.
Is insurance included?
Basic cover is commonly included, but an excess applies. Excess reduction options are usually available.

Yes, absolutely! We offer one-way rentals between most major cities in both Australia and New Zealand. Simply select your pick-up and drop-off locations when searching, and we’ll show you all the available options.
Most campervans come with bedding, kitchen gear, basic insurance, and unlimited kilometres (in most locations). Each listing will clearly outline what’s included – and if you’re unsure, just ask us before you book.
If your driver’s licence is in English, you can use it directly. If not, you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home licence. You must be at least 21 years old for most rentals.
Nope! Our rates are the same – or even cheaper – than booking direct. Plus, we include extra support, promo deals, and the ability to compare across multiple brands all in one place.
