Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of licence do you need to hire a campervan in Perth?

A full and valid class C (car) driving licence is all you need to hire most campervans and motorhomes in WA. Learner, provisional, and probationary licences are not accepted. Most companies only rent vehicles to drivers aged 21 years or older. As a result, travellers under 25 need to pay additional fees to cover elevated insurance premiums. Overseas residents need an English translation of a comparable driver’s licence or a valid International Driver's Permit (IDP).

Do I have to pay a bond (security deposit) when renting my vehicle?

When renting a vehicle, it is standard to be charged a bond (security deposit), also known as ‘excess’, which is the amount the renter is liable to cover in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle.

The bond amount fluctuates based on the insurance package selected at the time of rental and is charged and debited on the renters’ credit or debit card.

Is free camping allowed?

Free camping in Perth is only allowed in designated areas, and parking up overnight is generally prohibited.

There are plenty of campervan parks around Perth. Some popular choices include Perth Central Caravan Park, Advent Park and Riverview Tourist Park (near Margaret River).

Are one-way campervan rentals available?

Yes, a large number of companies allow for one-way rentals. Our comparison tool will show you availability on your preferred route and automatically factor in any one-way fees charged by the supplier.

Western Australia is Australia’s largest state, and many travellers decide to pick up and return their motorhome in Perth to explore attractions in the area: Margaret River, Albany and Esperance to the south, and the Pinnacles Desert and Coral Bay to the north.

However, one-way road trips are also popular for a motorhome holiday, with the most commonly chosen routes being:

  • Perth to Adelaide (South Australia)
  • Perth to Broome (Western Australia)
  • Perth to Melbourne (Victoria)
  • Perth to Darwin (Northern Territory)

Can I pick up or drop off my campervan on a public holiday?

Yes, some companies will allow you to collect or drop off your vehicle on a public holiday. Enter your start and finish dates and our booking tool will show you what’s available.

Be aware that starting or ending your trip on a public holiday will limit your choice of available suppliers and may increase total rental costs.

Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
