Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
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.

Some companies do allow drivers aged 18 to 21, but they might offer only certain models, and extra insurance could be necessary.

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).
