Looking for campervan hire in Sydney? Compare 100+ campervans and motorhomes from Australia’s leading rental brands, check live availability, and book with instant confirmation. Sydney is a top starting point for Australian road trips — head north to Byron Bay and Brisbane, south to Melbourne via the coast, or inland to the Blue Mountains and beyond.
Plan it your way: do a short NSW coastal escape, a Sydney → Brisbane one-way trip, or a longer multi-state itinerary with flexible drop-offs (availability and fees vary by supplier).
Sydney combines major flight access with road trip routes in every direction. Start with iconic city sights, then escape quickly to beaches, national parks, and coastal towns. It’s also a common pickup point for international travellers arriving at Sydney Airport (SYD).

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.
