Why hire a campervan in Melbourne with Aussie Campervans
Aussie Campervans connects travellers with hundreds of campervans, motorhomes and 4WD campers from trusted suppliers across Melbourne and every major Australian city. Instead of booking blind through an overseas platform, you get one place to compare vehicles, prices and one-way routes, backed by a Melbourne-based team who have driven these roads themselves.
We've been arranging campervan and motorhome hire in Melbourne for over 16 years. That means real advice on which vehicle suits the Great Ocean Road's winding coast, how to plan a one-way trip to Adelaide or Sydney, and which deals genuinely save you money for your dates and group size.
Driving a campervan in and around Melbourne
Melbourne's roads are well maintained, though the CBD's tram network and hook turns take a moment to get used to. Most travellers collect their vehicle and head straight for the Great Ocean Road, the Yarra Valley or the Mornington Peninsula. The CityLink and EastLink tollways are fully electronic; your hire vehicle can be fitted with an e-tag, or you may need to set up a Linkt account, and our team will explain the options when you book.
Best time to hire a campervan in Melbourne
Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer the most comfortable weather and fewer crowds. Summer is warm and ideal for the coast but books out fast over the December–January school holidays. The cheapest rates are usually February to early March and through winter (June to August), when the High Country and city events still make for a great trip.
Tell us your travel dates, group size and budget and we'll recommend the right campervan or motorhome for your Melbourne trip.

How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Melbourne?
Budget 2-berth campervans in Melbourne start from around $49 per day in low season. Motorhomes with shower and toilet start from approximately $120 per day, and 4WD campers from $100 per day. Prices vary by season, vehicle and hire length. February to early March and the winter months (June to August) are the cheapest times to travel. Book at least 6 months ahead to enjoy early bird rates.
Can I rent a campervan in Melbourne and drop it off in another city?
Yes. One-way rentals are one of our most popular options. You can pick up in Melbourne and drop off in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Hobart, Perth or Darwin. A one-way relocation fee and minimum hire duration may apply depending on the route and supplier.
What's the best time of year to hire a campervan in Melbourne?
Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) are ideal, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer is warm and great for the coast but the busiest and most expensive period over the festive season and school holidays. For the lowest rates, travel in February–early March or during winter.
Which campervan is best for driving the Great Ocean Road?
A compact campervan or smaller motorhome is best for the Great Ocean Road's winding coastal bends. They are easier to handle and park at lookouts like the Twelve Apostles, especially for first timers. Larger 4-to-6-berth motorhomes are fine on the main sealed routes.
Can I hire a campervan in Melbourne with a foreign driver's licence?
Yes. You can drive on a valid overseas licence. If it is not written in English, it must be accompanied by an accredited English translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP).
Are there toll roads in Melbourne, and how do I pay them in a hire campervan?
Yes, Melbourne's tollways (CityLink and EastLink) are fully electronic with no cash booths. Your hire vehicle can be set up with an e-tag, or some suppliers ask you to register a Linkt account. The branch will explain exactly how it works for your vehicle on pick-up day.
Is there campervan parking in Melbourne's city centre?
There are some parking areas near major attractions, but central Melbourne parking is limited and tight for larger vehicles. There's a large open-air car park at Queen Victoria Market. Most travellers base their campervan at a holiday park outside the CBD such as Coburg or along the bay and take the train or tram into the city. It's also worth noting the hook turn rules when driving on tram routes.
Do Melbourne campervan rentals include unlimited kilometres?
Many of our Melbourne campervan and motorhome rentals include unlimited kilometres, while some let you buy only the distance you need. The kilometre allowance is written on your quote, so there will be no surprises.
Are pet-friendly caravan parks available near Melbourne?
Yes, many caravan and holiday parks near Melbourne's bay, the Yarra Valley and the Great Ocean Road accept pets. Policies vary by park, so check pet rules at the time of booking your sites.
Can I hire a campervan in Melbourne with child seats?
Yes. Child safety seats and anchor points are available on most 3-to-6-berth vehicles including baby capsules, child seats and boosters. Specify your requirements when booking, or bring your own seat provided it meets Australian child restraint standards.
