Recommended (by our rental companies) Nearest Campsites Sydney:

Spaceships recommends Lane Cove Caravan Park. Ella's List is a popular website for family orientated activities and places to stay.

You have to have enough seat belts for everyone and you have to have enough beds for everyone to sleep in. Choose the campervan that has enough single and double beds to suit you.

We also list the interior height of our campervans and motorhomes so if you are travelling with a tall person it will make their holiday more relaxing if they can stand up inside.

Next, decide if you need to have an onboard shower and toilet. This will narrow your choice. The smaller hitops, low-tops, SUVs and camping cars do not have onboard facilities.

How much is your budget? If you have to stick to a budget then choose the newest camper or motorhome you can afford. Newer campers are more expensive than older campers and book early to get cheaper rates.

Motorhome Rental Sydney

We know the campervan and motorhome rental service inside out and we will help you get the best rates for campervan hire in Sydney as well as the right camper for you.

Everyone on our team is here to make sure that you have an exceptional rental in Australia and are on hand before you book to answer all your questions.

Why does it take so long to go through the collection process at the depot?

During peak season in Sydney, there are large numbers of travellers all arriving at the same time to collect their campervan. The staff at the depot have to check paperwork, driving licences and rental agreements before they take you to the campers. Once there they will show you how everything in the vehicle works and make sure you know where everything is.

This process of checking in can be speeded up by making sure that when you book you have provided all the essential information needed before setting off. You will need your passport and driving licence numbers, name of passengers and everything we list in our booking process.

Please be patient and allow at least three hours for this process. It sometimes happens a lot quicker but this is not like renting a car as there is more paperwork to process and if you are familiar with driving and living in a campervan then you won't need as much time spent on explaining everything to you.

If you are arriving after a long-haul flight you may be tired so you may want to stay in a local hotel before you collect your campervan so you are refreshed and ready to start your holiday.

Fees for one-way rentals from Sydney.

One way rental fees or relocation fees are not always charged by Australian rental suppliers if you are going from Sydney to Brisbane, Melbourne or Adelaide. Expect to pay one-way fees if you are going further to Cairns, Perth, Darwin. There are additional charges if you return to Broome. The one-way fees may not apply for rentals over 21 days or if there is a special offer in place.

Are the Sydney depots open on public holidays?

Most depots are closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Also check Australia Day, ANZAC day, Easter holidays.

Can I rent bikes with the campervan in Sydney?

Yes, bikes and bike racks are available for rent from the Sydney rental suppliers. These will be offered to you during the booking process.

Sydney is not the most bike-friendly city in Australia with only about 7kms of cycle track around the city. Stay on the tracks marked in green on the maps unless you are a very experienced rider.
