If you’ve already started researching different campervans for hire, you’ll notice there are lots of options to choose from. Britz has a campervan for every type of traveller, and there’s one that’s just right for you. Let’s look at some of the considerations to factor in when picking out the best campervan hire to explore Australia.
Considerations when choosing a campervan
There are many excellent options at Britz Australia when it comes to the type, size, shape, and style of campervan hire.
The first step to deciding on which campervan is right for you is to assess your needs. Here are a few factors to consider:
How many people you are travelling with
Britz campers come in many different sizes, so choosing the right one will depend on how large your group of family and friends is, and how much storage space you need.
Britz Australia’s campervans can fit up to six people comfortably – you can even bring along the family dog! So, tally up your family and friends and make sure you don’t leave anyone out.
If you have more than six people joining in on your Australian road trip, simply book two campervans and you can sort out who goes in which vehicle later.
If you’re travelling with children, it pays to be aware that some campervans are better suited than others. For example, if you’ve got a baby on board, you’ll likely want a rear seat that’s within arm’s reach of the front passenger seat. Those travelling with teens who want some ‘space’ may prefer a campervan that has extra seats further down the back.
Some of Britz Australia’s popular campervan options for those travelling with families include:
Campervans for 1 to 3 people
If you're keen to enjoy an Australian road trip with freedom and flexibility in an easy-to-drive package, our compact campervans are just what you need.
Perfect for a couple, Britz Australia’s 2 Berth Venturer and 2 berth HiTop campervans provide sleeping for two. The 2+1 Berth Venturer Plus campervan includes an extra child's bed making it perfect for a family with a child under seven years of age.
In the Venturer and Venturer Plus, you can enjoy your Australian road trip with all the great benefits of an onboard kitchen, lounge, and even a toilet and shower.
Campervans for 4 to 6 people
If you’re a couple keen on more space, or a family looking for some quality time away, the 4-6 berth campervan range is just what you need. With apartment-style living, Britz Australia’s 4-6 berth range comes with multiple sleeping areas, fully furnished kitchens, and a lounge to relax in.
The 4 Berth Voyager campervan is ideal for small families or friends who want separate beds. The 4 Berth Discovery, 4 Berth Explorer and 6 Berth Frontier campervans also include a toilet and shower allowing you to freedom camp. And if you need space to carry all your must-haves, these spacious campervans are just what you’re looking for.
Where you are travelling
From dusty outback highways to busy city streets, Australia’s landscape is incredibly diverse. So you’ll want to make sure the campervan hire you choose is suitable for the roads you’ll be travelling.
If you’re planning for an off-road experience during your Australian road trip, the best type of campervan for you would be the Maverick 4WD, Safari 4WD or the Britz Outback (4WD). All other Britz vehicles are 2WD, which means you'll need to stick to sealed roads.
Thinking of bush camping or staying in one of Australia’s great national parks? Then having your own toilet and shower could be a defining factor in choosing your campervan. Check out Britz’s Venturer, Venturer Plus, Explorer, or Frontier campervans.
Are you thinking of staying mainly in campgrounds or holiday parks? If so, having those onboard facilities may not be so important. Perhaps the 'hold it ‘til we get there' approach might be better suited, in which case the HiTop, Voyager is a great option.
Does size matter?
If you’re used to driving a family car and worry that a larger campervan could be daunting to drive, fear not! Campervans – even bigger ones – are actually much easier to drive than you might think. So try not to let size become a defining issue. All Britz campervans have large side mirrors and built-in GPS, while some have reversing cameras, making your drive even smoother.
What you plan to do on your trip
When you’re considering the overall size of your campervan, you’ll also want to factor in how much storage space you’ll need. If you plan on carrying big equipment like surfboards or kayaks, you’ll need to make sure your campervan has plenty of external storage space to fit it all in.
