How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Australia?

Hiring a motorhome in Australia is definitely an awesome way to explore this epic land at your own pace. You get to stop wherever the vibe feels right and fully immerse yourself in the Aussie beauty. But before you start your engine, it’s super important to understand the costs involved.

Motorhome hire costs in Australia can be as diverse as the landscapes you’ll be exploring. They’re influenced by the type of vehicle you’re after, the rental company you choose, the time of year you’re planning your roadie, and the length of your adventure. 

What’s Driving Your Campervan or Motorhome Hire Prices?

There are a few factors that could change up your motorhome hire costs in Australia. Let’s break it down:

• Your ride: The size and type of motorhome you choose can significantly affect the cost. Bigger, more luxurious vehicles usually cost a bit more than smaller, basic models.

• Who you’re hiring from: Different rental companies have their own pricing. The RatPack promise ensures we will find the best deal for you no matter what you are looking for.

• How long you’re on the road: The duration of your hire will also impact the cost. Longer road trips tend to cost more than shorter ones.

• When you’re travelling: Like a lot of travel-related stuff, the time of year can impact your hire cost. Peak season prices can be a bit steep due to high demand and limited availability, but off-peak season rates can be much more budget-friendly.

• How far you’re going: The distance you’re planning to cover can add to the cost. Some companies might charge extra if you exceed a certain mileage limit, so it’s good to keep this in mind. We’ll ensure that we only hook you up with companies with unlimited Km’s.

• One way fee: if you are picking up in Sydney and dropping off in Perth there might be a large one way fee! These are often avoidable IF you book with the right company. Get in touch and we will hook you up with all the info!
