Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan rentals from multiple Australian suppliers in one place so you can choose the right vehicle and price. Melbourne is a major pick-up point and a natural start for the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley wine country, Phillip Island and the Victorian Alps. Weather stays moderate year-round, so trips are possible in every season.
Campervan rentals in Melbourne range from AUD $40 to $380 daily. Rates may depend on camper size, age, features, booking duration, season, pick-up/drop-off locations and whether it's a one-way or return trip.
Rental companies provide a wide range of campervans with varying levels of comfort and amenities.

In Australia, most campervan rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old to rent from their full selection of vehicles.
Some companies do allow drivers aged 18 to 21, but they might offer only certain models, and extra insurance could be necessary.
Simply enter the driver's age into our search tool, and we'll show you the vehicles that are available for you.
While most RV rental companies aren't located directly at Australian airports, their depots are usually nearby, within 2 to 30 kilometers.
Many providers offer free shuttle services to their depots if you book ahead. Alternatively, public buses, shuttles, and taxis are also available for transport.
To rent a campervan, each driver needs to have a valid, full driver's license. If your license is in English, you're all set. If not, make sure to have an official English translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP).
Absolutely! Most companies offer the option of one-way rentals, with pickup and drop-off locations available across Australia.
Although there is often an extra charge for one-way rentals, it will be included in the price our comparison tool displays.
