Searching for campervan hire itineraries? We have outlined some suggested campervan hire itineraries below to help you explore the best of Australia. Campervan hire allows you to travel at your own pace but an itinerary can help you plan your trip to make the most of your time on the road.

Australia has a vast network of well-maintained roads and some of the most beautiful touring routes in the world. Travel in your campervan hire from Sydney to Brisbane past sleepy seaside towns and lush hinterland. Experience Australia's Red Centre in an epic drive across the desert. Or follow Victoria's Great Ocean Road in your camper van as it hugs the spectacular south-east coast.

Australia is a large country and in order to enjoy your holiday, we recommend that you research your intended travelling route thoroughly, In particular, pay close attention to your travelling distances. It is far better to travel at a leisurely pace in your camper compared to spending each day driving long distances. Aim to cover between 150 - 250 kilometres per day in your rental campervan and you will experience Australia in comfort.
