So, what makes RatPack better than most campervan rental companies in Perth?

Booking doesn’t have to be gnarly. Our travel gurus get the best rates from the best operators. And once you’re satisfied, we provide a discount, making it even cheaper than booking online.

Come rain or shine, we only book you a camper van if we can make it cheaper than the online rate. That’s the RatPack guarantee!

As travellers ourselves, we appreciate that dates can change while you’re out doing your thing and living your best life. That’s why we don’t charge for any late cancellations or amendments, giving you more dollars to spend on the important stuff.

We combine our awesome camper hire knowledge and experience with our passion to deliver an amazing experience for our clients. No exceptions.

We know what it feels like to have a negative travel experience. It blows. In fact, it’s one of the core reasons we founded our business in the first place. The good news is we’re here to give you the best campervan hire service and deals.

• Renters with a licence in a language other than English will need to provide an International Driving Permit or an official translation along with their standard licence when collecting the campervan in Perth.
• Additional drivers who are part of the rental agreement must present a valid licence and meet the same licence requirements as the primary driver.

First-timer or seasoned nomad, these pointers keep the good times rolling when renting a camper in Perth:

Some boring but essential things:

• Ensure essential camper items such as maps, oil, coolant, levelling ramps, safety vests, and adapters are checked and packed before starting your journey.
• Check your campervan’s tires for proper pressure and tread depth, and be prepared with a spare tire and the knowledge of how to change it if needed.

We like to keep our RatPackers safe and out of trouble:

• Never drink and drive to maintain proper judgement and coordination, avoiding accidents and legal consequences.
• Avoid using your phone while driving to prevent distractions; stop the vehicle first if you must use it.
• Take regular breaks to combat fatigue and consider sharing driving duties to ensure all drivers have a chance to rest.
• Wear your seatbelt at all times and make sure all passengers do the same as it is crucial for safety and typically required by law

These sound obvious but it’s so easy to forget when your dying to get on the road:

• Regularly check your campervan’s blind spots before changing lanes or turning to prevent collisions.
• Adhere to speed limits to prevent accidents pick up speed on your surfboard not in your camper.
• Drive cautiously, particularly in unfamiliar or challenging conditions, and ensure your route is planned in advance. – Some of our fave locations linked below.
• Familiarise yourself with the campervan’s controls and the manual to effectively operate the vehicle and manage emergencies. – Check out our bank of FAQ style videos on IG here
• Considering the seasonal differences in Perth, such as the very hot summers! When it’s hot it’s boiling! All we’re gonna say is Think Water – Drink Water 😂
