Quick Event Tips for Perth Travellers

  • Book 6-12 Months Early: Availability for luxury motorhomes during major summer events disappears very quickly.
  • Park & Ride: For city-based events, park your large motorhome at your holiday park and use Perth's excellent Transperth train and bus system to reach the CBD.
  • Self-Sufficiency: If heading to regional events down south, ensure your campervan hire is self-contained with a large water tank, as regional parks book out fast.

I recently booked a campervan through this company. It was my first time booking an RV and I had a lot of questions & fears going into booking a vehicle that was worth so much & really needed to understand how the process works. I called the company & was given detailed information on what to expect & was guided through the process. They even mentioned I could call back with any further questions to ensure I was happy & comfortable with my decision. I rented the vehicle for 14 days and drove from Brisbane to Jindabyne to go Skiing. I would definitely book through this company again.

Essential Perth & WA Driving Tips

🛣️ Toll-Free Driving

Unlike Eastern States, Perth and Western Australia generally do not have toll roads. This means you can drive your luxury motorhome around the city and regional highways without worrying about setting up an e-tag account!

🦘 Watch for Wildlife at Dawn & Dusk

If you are heading into the South West forests or driving up the Coral Coast, be extremely aware that kangaroos are highly active during twilight hours. Prioritize your local safety and aim to reach your holiday park well before sunset.

🏖️ Beach Driving Restrictions

While the WA coastline is incredible, standard 2WD and the best luxury motorhomes are strictly forbidden from driving on sand. Stick to the sealed roads and do not attempt to drive on the beaches to avoid massive recovery fees.

First Time Hiring a Campervan in Perth?

⚠️ Insurance & Excess

Standard hire includes basic insurance with a high bond. We strongly recommend "All-Inclusive" packages for luxury motorhomes to reduce your outback liability and include extras like outdoor tables for the best camping experience.

⛴️ The Rottnest Ferry

Rottnest Island is car-free! Do not try to bring your motorhome. The best way to visit the quokkas is to park your campervan securely at a mainland holiday park and take the Rottnest Express passenger ferry from Fremantle or Hillarys.

☀️ Remote Weather Prep

WA's climate shifts dramatically. While Perth enjoys Mediterranean weather, heading north to Exmouth means entering the tropics. Always check the BOM app, carry plenty of extra drinking water, and ensure your campervan hire has reliable air-conditioning.

📍 Planning Vast Distances

Western Australia is absolutely massive. When planning your route, never underestimate driving times. The best road trips allow for plenty of rest stops to combat fatigue on the long, straight outback highways.

Perth Campervan Seasonal Travel Guide

When planning your Perth campervan hire, understanding Western Australia's vast climate zones is essential. While Perth enjoys a beautiful Mediterranean climate, driving north to the Coral Coast or south into the forests requires entirely different seasonal planning.

Perth Hire Quick Tips

  • Book Early: The best luxury motorhomes sell out months in advance for the famous WA wildflower season (Spring).
  • City Parking: Avoid driving large motorhomes into the Perth CBD; use your holiday park's local Transperth train line access instead.
  • One-Way Deals: Perth to Broome is one of Australia's most epic outback routes; one-way hires are worth comparing if your dates are flexible.

Yes, many "self-contained" models ranging from 2-berth campers to 6-berth luxury motorhomes feature onboard toilets and showers. You can easily filter for these amenities when searching our site for your WA trip.

Is Perth or Broome better to start my WA trip?

Perth offers a larger range of national brands and depots, making it the best starting point for long-haul trips up the coast. Broome is great for Kimberley adventures, but Perth generally has better availability and cheaper flight connections.

No, Rottnest Island is strictly car-free for all public vehicles. You will need to park your campervan securely on the mainland and take a passenger ferry to visit the island.

Are there any roads campervans can't access around Perth?

Standard campervans are restricted to gazetted (sealed) roads. Avoid all unsealed tracks in national parks and absolutely no beach driving. The remote Gibb River Road is also completely prohibited for standard 2WD vehicles.

When is the best time to book a campervan hire in Perth?

We recommend booking 8-12 weeks in advance. For the best rates during the winter outback season (heading north) or the spring wildflower season, booking 6 months ahead is highly recommended.

Are one-way campervan hires available from Perth?

Yes, one-way hires are very common from Perth up to Exmouth, Broome, or Darwin. Note that substantial one-way fees may apply and minimum hire periods are often much longer for these epic outback routes.

How long do most people hire a campervan for in Perth?

Typical hires range from 7 days for a Margaret River South West loop to 21+ days for the long coastal drive north toward the Ningaloo Reef.

What type of campervan should I consider hiring in Perth?

Choose a compact 2-berth for couples wanting easy parking down south, or a luxury 4-6 berth motorhome for families heading north. Ensure your van has great air-conditioning if traveling during the WA summer.

What transmission types are available for campervan hires in Perth?

The vast majority of the Perth rental fleet is automatic, making it easy to cruise the long highways. You can specify your preference in our search filters.

How long does it take to collect and drop off a campervan in Perth?

Allow 60-90 minutes for collection to cover the vehicle walkthrough and paperwork. Drop-off is usually faster (30-45 minutes) provided the van is clean and the fuel tank is full.

Are there any restrictions on where I can take the campervan hired in Perth?

Travel is generally limited to sealed roads. Most brands prohibit travel on remote unsealed tracks, deep sand, or crossing flooded waterways in the north. Always check your rental's specific "Area of Use" clause.

What insurance options are available for campervan hire in Perth?

Standard hire includes basic insurance with a high excess (bond). We strongly recommend "All-Inclusive" or "Excess Reduction" packages given the vast WA distances, which lower your liability and often cover windscreen and tire damage.
