Guest fred Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 we are thinking of going to oz for three weeks over christmas for a look round and we thought hiring a camper van would be a good way to do it does anybody have any experiance of hiring them in australia and any recomendations for good rates? The best we have found so far is $162 a day over the christmas period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ABCDiamond Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 This is sometimes useful, for those one way relocations: http://www.standbycars.com.au/oneways.aspx?cid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnKelly Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks for the Link ABC Diamond. I'm a local and I didn't even know such a scheme existed. I've filed it in 'My Favourites'; it just might come in handy some day. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fred Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi We are now back. We used Brits they are a good reliable company with depots near the airports in all the major cities. Also it is worth knowing that brits , moui and backpacker vans all come from the same company and depots. The moui is the newest and most expensive and as the vehicle gets older it becomes a brits and then a backpacker. Whoever you book with make sure the vehicle has a fridge. One more thing amke the first thing you buy for the camper a can of fly spray as being eaten by mosquitoes all night is no fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest forshac Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hiya, We hired a Mauri van last Nov and the whole experience was fantastic!! The best part was waking up and thinking - Where shall we go today and then, at the end of your day- We like here, let's stay for another.. There are loads of campsites to pitch-up and having a Mauri/Brits van you should get a 10% discount. Most sites were about £10-25 pernight at the most. You can also fit nicely in supermarket spaces! We had the big van also. I think you have a good price considering its Christmas and should go fo it!! If you have any further questions, just ask.. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
