Road Genius compares campervan rentals across Australia so you can pick the size, layout and price that fit your trip. Perth Airport and Fremantle Port are convenient pickup points and the city sits on the main route to the Coral Coast and the South-West wine region. Stock up on supplies before leaving the metro area because fuel stops become scarce once you head north or east.
Campervan rentals in Perth typically range from AUD $45 to $380 per day. Prcies depend on the camper's size, age, features, booking duration, season, location of pick-up and drop-off, and whether the rental is one-way or return.
Rental options include budget-friendly campervans, fully-equipped 4WD campers and luxury motorhomes.

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.
