DriveNow's take: vehicle | Apollo's Euro Deluxe is the perfect family vehicle — it fits 6 adults or a large family with 4 kids. Two anchor points mean you can fit 2 child seats without any problems. Apollo's Euro Deluxe is built for families. It fits 6 adults or a large family with 4 kids, and with 2 anchor points, you can install 2 child seats without any hassle. That's why it books out fast during school holidays. This is your home on wheels for anything from a 1-week family trip to months-long adventures. The automatic transmission, power steering, and reversing cameras make it comfortable for any driver — perfect if you're new to motorhomes. The Euro Deluxe has the largest fridge in Apollo's fleet, which matters when you're feeding a family on the road. Pack some board games to keep the kids entertained during downtime. One pro tip: book your last night at a caravan park with a dump point and hose. Empty the toilet cassette and refill the freshwater tank before you return the vehicle — it'll save you time at the depot. | The Cruisin 6 Berth Deluxe is a high-end model under 2 years old that's perfect for families or groups. The cooktop has both electric and gas options, and the toilet and shower are separated unlike most other campers. The Cruisin 6 Berth Deluxe is a high-end model under 2 years old that's perfect for families or groups. You get both electric and gas cooking options and a separated toilet and shower — rare in most campers. This feels more like a mobile home than cramped camping. Where smaller vehicles make you live on top of each other, this one gives you proper space for daily life. The multiple beds mean you can leave one set up permanently and avoid the nightly pack-down routine that gets old fast on longer trips. The trade-offs? You'll pay premium prices for this new, luxurious vehicle — it's not for budget travellers. The size also means a steep learning curve if you're not used to driving larger vehicles. We'd recommend this for first-time campers who are confident drivers and want something closer to regular accommodation. Cruisin excels at roadside support, which matters when you're learning the ropes. Before you leave the depot, walk around the vehicle to get used to the size and sit in the driver's seat to check your visibility while driving. | Spacious motorhome that sleeps 6 with a convertible rear bed that gives you living space during the day. Great for families and groups, plus it has a TV/DVD player to keep kids entertained when the weather turns. The Discovery sleeps 6 people with a smart convertible bed in the rear — you get proper living space during the day, then convert it for sleeping at night. It's an upper mid-range vehicle that works well for both experienced campers and first-timers who are confident drivers. The TV/DVD player inside is a lifesaver for keeping kids entertained when the weather's not great. Just remember to pack their favourite DVDs. This vehicle shines on longer trips, especially if you're travelling with fewer than 6 people — you'll have plenty of space to spread out. The size and weight do mean higher fuel consumption though, so budget accordingly. One important tip: plan to arrive at your first campsite before dusk. Most companies don't allow night driving, and it can be dangerous if you're not used to handling a motorhome. | The Go Cheap Derwent is a spacious, affordable 6-berth option that's perfect for families or groups of 4-6 people. You get separate toilet and shower facilities at budget prices. The Go Cheap Derwent gives you serious space at budget prices. This 6-berth vehicle works well for groups of 4-6 people or families with more than two kids who want room to spread out without breaking the bank. The standout feature is the separate toilet and shower — something you don't always get at this price point. This makes a real difference on longer trips and saves you hassle when cleaning the van at the end of your hire. With all this interior space, the Derwent works like a mobile hotel. It's genuinely comfortable for week-long trips where you're spending real time inside the vehicle, not just sleeping in it. The trade-off for the lower cost is vehicle age. These Derwent models are typically 4-7 years old, so expect some wear and tear. Go Cheap maintains their fleet well, but you're not getting a brand-new van. First-time travellers do fine in this vehicle, especially groups or families who prioritise space and affordability over having the newest model. Just remember it only has two anchor points for child seats, so maximum two kids needing car seats can travel. One practical tip: book your last campground with a dump point. Getting the vehicle ready for return on your final day makes the whole process smoother. | The Mighty Big Six is perfect for 6 adults or a family of 6 on a budget. Note: it can only take 2 child seats maximum, so not suitable for families with more than 2 kids under 8. The Mighty Big Six is perfect for 6 adults or a family of 6 on a budget. But here's the catch — it can only accommodate 2 child seats maximum, so if you've got more than 2 kids under 8, this won't work for you. This is a comfortable, budget-friendly home on wheels with all the essentials for extended road trips. After five days on the road, you'll still have everything you need for comfortable living, cooking, and storage. The trade-off? This vehicle has been longer on the road and will show some wear and tear. Think of it as a van with character — it'll have lots of memories from previous adventures, but it won't be showroom fresh. We'd put first-timers in this vehicle, especially young families on a budget who want to enjoy camping with the kids, or young adults who don't want to break the bank. It's forgiving and has everything you need without the premium price. Two practical tips: park in the shade to reduce power consumption, and always grab your keys before stepping outside — getting locked out of your temporary home is no fun. | A roomy and budget-friendly 6-berth motorhome built for families or groups wanting an affordable, spacious vehicle. The fixed overhead bed means not everyone has to remake their sleeping space every single day. This is JUCY's budget-friendly option for groups of 6 — you get plenty of space without paying premium prices. The fixed overhead bed is a big advantage because you don't have to convert sleeping areas every night, and if you're travelling with fewer than 6 people, it doubles as storage space. After a week on the road, you'll still have comfortable living space. Just stay on top of emptying the grey water and toilet cassette, and refilling your fresh water regularly. If you're actually travelling as 6 adults, consider rotating who sleeps in the overhead bed — the headroom up there is limited. Here's the trade-off: this vehicle is older than most 6-berth models from other companies. That keeps the price down, but set your expectations accordingly. You'll see minor wear and tear inside and outside, though JUCY maintains these vehicles constantly. It's not brand new, but it's reliable. First-time campers who want to split costs and aren't fussed about luxury features will love this van. If you want that mobile-home feel for your first trip, there are better options available. Before you drive away, check the vehicle thoroughly and take photos. Since it's an older model, documenting any existing scratches protects both you and JUCY from confusion later. And book powered sites to recharge the house battery at least every second night — preferably every night. | This luxurious motorhome has three double beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a generous ensuite bathroom. Great for big families with kids of all ages — can fit 2 child seats or 2 booster seats. This luxurious motorhome has three double beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a generous ensuite bathroom. It's perfect for big families with kids of all ages and can fit 2 child seats or 2 booster seats. After a week on the road, you'll appreciate the practical touches. The 177L fridge with freezer gives you proper storage space. The kitchen has a microwave and gas burner stove top. There's a DVD player and screen to keep everyone entertained, plus an outdoor awning for extra living space. The bathroom has a separate toilet and shower — no queuing. The trade-off? Parking at shopping centres gets tricky with this size vehicle. You'll need to stick with on-street parking and plan your stops. Despite the size, it's not intimidating for first-timers. The turbo diesel engine has plenty of power, and power steering plus a reversing camera make it manageable around town. Pack smart for the kids: bring DVDs for the built-in player, board games for rainy days, and fold-up scooters for cruising around holiday parks. Don't forget a power board — you'll need it to charge all the family's devices at once. | Maui's largest motorhome sleeps 6 adults with premium interior finishes and a large awning for outdoor living. At 7.7+ metres, parking can be tight at shopping centres. The River is Maui's largest motorhome, sleeping up to 6 adults or a family of 6 comfortably. You get premium interior finishes — Maui is the quality leader when it comes to Australian campervans and motorhomes. The large awning gives you plenty of shade for your camping table and chairs when you're socialising outside. After a week on the road, you'll appreciate the luxury touches. The River comes fully equipped with bedding, linen, complete kitchen kit, toilet, shower, central heating and cooling, and house entertainment screen. You get modern tech too — touchscreen display with Bluetooth, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and USB-C charging in the cab. The trade-off is size. At over 7.7 metres long, parking at shopping centres can be limited and tight to manoeuvre. Stick to on-street parking where possible. Maui vehicles are 0-2 years old, so you're always getting a vehicle in great condition. The Platinum Pack includes all the additional items you need, plus the option for fresh linen exchange during longer trips. Two child seats can be fitted on the forward-facing seats in the main cabin. | The Maui Sunset 6 Berth Motorhome is designed for family holidays with a bigger fridge, spacious living area and external awning. As Maui's premium brand, you get the best interior finishes and vehicles aged 0-2 years. The Maui Sunset 6 Berth Motorhome is designed for family holidays. You get a bigger fridge, spacious living area and external awning for outdoor dining. Two child seats can be fitted on the forward-facing seats in the main cabin. Maui is the premium brand — their interior finishes are the best quality when it comes to campervans and motorhomes in Australia. Maui vehicles are always 0-2 years old, so you're getting a vehicle in great condition. Everything's included. Your vehicle comes with bedding and linen, full kitchen kit (plates, bowls, cutlery, bottle opener, can opener, colander, saucepans, frying pans, cooking utensils, chopping board, kettle, toaster, and tea towel), toilet, shower, central cabin heating and cooling, and plenty of tech — touchscreen display with radio, Bluetooth, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, USB-C in cab, house entertainment screen, and external USB. There's nothing you need to bring. The trade-off? This vehicle is over 7.5 metres long, which makes parking limited. On-street parking may be your best option. Despite the size, this motorhome is easy to drive. The automatic transmission and turbo diesel engine give you plenty of power, making it suitable even for first-timers. One tip: arrange an online 'click and collect' supermarket shop from Coles or Woolworths near your first night's destination. This saves plenty of time and hassle. | Maui Elite's largest motorhome fits 6 adults comfortably with guaranteed under-1-year-old vehicles. The River's 7.5+ metre length means limited parking options, but you get luxury features and plenty of space. The River Elite is Maui's largest motorhome, sleeping up to 6 adults comfortably. What sets it apart is the age guarantee — every Maui Elite vehicle is under 12 months old, the only campervan brand in Australia that can promise this. The space is impressive. Four adults will have room to spread out, and the large awning gives you plenty of shade around your camping table. You can fit 2 child seats on the forward-facing seats in the main cabin. The vehicle comes fully loaded with everything you need: bedding, linen, complete kitchen kit (including kettle and toaster), toilet, shower, heating and cooling, and entertainment screens. The trade-off is size. At 7.5+ metres long, parking becomes limited. Forget shopping centre car parks — you'll be looking for on-street parking most of the time. First-timers can handle this vehicle. The automatic transmission, turbo diesel engine, power steering and reversing camera make it manageable, even at this size. The touchscreen display includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus you get USB-C charging in the cab. One practical tip: book your last night at a caravan park with a dump point. You'll need to empty the toilet cassette and refill the freshwater tank before returning to the depot. The Maui Platinum Pack adds extra holiday essentials, including the option to exchange linen during longer trips. | Maui's guaranteed-new Elite fleet (under 1 year old) with the Sunset 6-berth designed for families. Long at 7.5+ metres, so parking gets tricky, but it's surprisingly easy to drive with automatic transmission and reversing cameras. The Maui Elite Sunset is guaranteed to be under one year old — the only campervan brand that offers this. This 6-berth motorhome is built for families, with a bigger fridge, spacious living area, and external awning for outdoor dining. You can fit two child seats on the forward-facing seats in the main cabin. Living in it feels luxurious. Everything's included — bedding, linen, full kitchen kit, toilet, shower, heating and cooling, plus entertainment screens inside and out. The kitchen comes with plates, bowls, cutlery, saucepans, frying pans, cooking utensils, kettle, toaster — you don't need to bring anything. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connect through the touchscreen display. The trade-off is size. At 7.5+ metres, parking gets limited and you'll be hunting for street parking rather than shopping centre spots. But don't let the length put you off — power steering, automatic transmission, reversing cameras and the turbo diesel engine make it surprisingly easy to drive with plenty of power. First-timers can handle this vehicle despite its size. The driving aids do the heavy lifting. One tip: arrange click-and-collect grocery shopping online from Coles or Woolies near your first night's destination. You'll save hours and avoid packing up camp just to hit the supermarket after you've settled in. Like most campervan companies, Maui doesn't recommend driving country roads after dusk due to wildlife risks and reduced visibility. | No take yet | A mid-range, large 6-berth motorhome that provides the essentials for camping with enough space for families or groups. Converting the rear bed between day and night configurations ensures there's enough living space for 6 travellers without feeling cramped. This is a mid-range, large 6-berth motorhome that gives families and groups the essentials for camping without feeling cramped. The key is the rear bed conversion — it switches between day and night configurations so you get proper living space for all 6 people during the day. You'll find it comfortable even on longer hires thanks to the generous size. The vehicle has a toilet and shower, but if you're travelling with 6 people, book caravan parks with facilities. The grey water and toilet cassette fill up fast when everyone's using them. The trade-off is size. You get that extra living space, but you give up easy manoeuvrability. This isn't like driving a car — you need to get comfortable with the width, check your blind spots, and take time at the depot to understand how it handles before you leave. For off-grid camping, the house battery needs regular charging. Stay at unpowered sites for 1-2 nights maximum, then get back to powered sites to recharge. Plan your campgrounds ahead of time. Ask any questions while you're at the Star RV depot on pickup day. It's much easier to sort things out face-to-face than calling from the road. |
DriveNow's take: supplier | Apollo is one of Australia and New Zealand's biggest campervan companies, running a wide range of mid-premium vehicles from hitop campers to 6-berth motorhomes, with great coverage of locations in both countries. Apollo specialises in high quality leisure vehicles across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America. They're an established brand with a large fleet and good depot coverage, which matters if your trip involves one-way hire or you need backup near your route. Where Apollo really stands out is the mid-premium range, across every vehicle size. Whether you need a hitop for a couple or a 6-berth motorhome for the whole family, Apollo has something that fits. The Euro Quest is a good one to start with — it works for a family of 4, gives couples extra room to stretch out, and suits groups after a more compact 4-berth. It's a solid all-rounder and probably the vehicle that sums up what Apollo does best. One thing worth knowing before you book: Apollo's fleet is genuinely young, generally 0-4 years old with an average age of around 2 years. You're not getting a tired old van. Pick-up is straightforward. Apollo's online check-in, done before your collection day, cuts down the time you spend at the depot. Their companion app has guides you can read or watch during your hire, which helps if you hit a question on the road instead of having to call someone. If something does go wrong, Apollo has a dedicated team for on-road care and for pre and post-hire questions. Because they're one of the larger campervan companies, they've got a wide network of trusted mechanics and enough depots around the country that getting to one for a fix usually isn't a big detour. Apollo suits almost anyone — solo travellers, families, and groups will all find something in the fleet. If you're watching your budget, keep an eye out for their sales, since the mid-premium positioning means you're not always at the cheapest end of the market outside of a deal. | Cruisin' is an Australian-owned motorhome company known for a modern, well-equipped fleet and a genuinely comfortable ride. They're not the cheapest option, but the quality shows — especially if you're planning a longer trip. Cruisin' is one of Australia's standout, Australian-owned motorhome providers. They've built a strong reputation on the back of a modern, well-maintained fleet and solid customer service. If you want a more premium motorhome experience — for a couple's trip or a family holiday — Cruisin' is worth a look. What they do better than most is comfort. Their motorhomes are designed to make the whole journey easier, not just the driving part. Every branch offers storage too, so you can drop off a suitcase before you hit the road — just know you'll need to return the vehicle to the same branch, within opening hours, to pick it back up. Here's what surprises people: Cruisin' isn't the cheapest option out there. That extra cost buys you better build quality, more equipment, and a more comfortable rig. If you want more space and better facilities on a longer trip, it's usually money well spent. If you're on a tight budget and just need something basic for a short hop, you might not need to pay the premium. Pickup is generally quick and easy, unless you're travelling during peak season or hit a busy day at the depot. Do the express check-in beforehand and have your card ready for any outstanding payments — it'll speed things up further. If something goes wrong on the road, Cruisin's roadside team is available 24/7 for technical questions, accidents, or breakdowns. It's a free service included with every rental, and the number's right there on your keychain. Cruisin' suits pretty much everyone — solo travellers, families, groups — you'll usually find something in their fleet that fits. They're especially good for anyone planning a longer road trip who wants a motorhome that's reliable and easy to live in day after day. Our pick from their range is the 4 Berth Seeker. It's a great all-rounder for couples or small families, with two fixed double beds, a spacious bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen. The no-fuss layout means less time setting up beds and more time actually enjoying the trip. One more thing: Cruisin' has a full library of motorhome guides and tutorials on their YouTube channel, worth a watch before you pick up so you're not fumbling with the gas or the water system on day one.

Cruisin motorhome guides and tutorials | GoCheap is the budget arm of Cruisin, running an older but well-maintained fleet for travellers who want a campervan without paying premium prices. Good fit if you'd rather spend your money on experiences than on the newest van. GoCheap is the budget brand from Cruisin, and it does exactly what it says on the tin — gets you a campervan for less. The fleet is older than Cruisin's, but it's professionally cleaned and regularly serviced, so you're not giving up reliability to save money. The main thing to know before you book: the vehicles are 4-7 years old (Hitops are from 2017). You won't get the modern comforts of a premium van, but you'll have everything you need for a proper road trip. If keeping costs down matters more to you than driving the newest motorhome on the road, GoCheap is a smart pick. Pickup is straightforward. Outside peak periods it shouldn't take long at all. Do the express check-in beforehand and have your card ready for any outstanding payments — it speeds things up. If something goes wrong on the road, GoCheap's roadside team is available 24/7 for technical issues, accidents or breakdowns. It's a free service on all rentals, and the number's on your vehicle's keychain. GoCheap suits budget-conscious couples, friends and families who are happy with an older van and would rather put their money into fuel, activities and exploring than into vehicle age. If that's you, start with the Derwent 6 berth — plenty of sleeping space, motorhome freedom, and it's built for longer trips without the premium price tag. | Mighty Campers is the budget pick for road-tripping Australia — a 25-year-old operator with a wide range of 2WD vans for 1 to 6 people, backed by solid maintenance and easy customer service. Mighty is built for the budget-minded traveller. They run a wide range of 2WD campervans, from solo setups right up to vans that fit 6, all priced to keep your trip affordable rather than flashy. They've been doing this for over 25 years, and it shows. Their customer service team is easy to get hold of, and their vehicles hold up well even as they age — a sign of proper maintenance, not just a fresh coat of paint. One thing to know before you book: Mighty lists its fleet as 4+ years old, but vehicles get rotated out fairly quickly. In practice, most vans you'll drive sit in the 4-5 year range — older than some competitors, but well looked after. Pickup is straightforward. You complete online check-in before your collection day, so you're not stuck filling out paperwork at the depot. Their companion app has guides you can read or watch during your hire, which helps if you hit something you're not sure how to handle. If something does go wrong on the road, Mighty has a dedicated 24/7 team for vehicle issues, plus a wide network of trusted mechanics and good depot coverage. That combination means help isn't far away, wherever you are. Mighty suits the traveller who wants a reliable van without paying for premium extras. You're not getting the newest features on the market, but you are getting a well-maintained vehicle at a fair price — a straightforward trade-off that works for a lot of people. First time hiring a campervan? Start with the Mighty Duo. It's a compact 2-berth motorhome that drives almost like a large car, which makes it an easy way in if you haven't handled a van before. | JUCY is a budget-friendly, youth-oriented campervan hire company with 25+ years in the industry and depots right across Australia. They're best known for no-frills, proper camping-style vans built for people who want a cheap way to road trip. JUCY has been around for more than 25 years and has built a wide network of depots across Australia. They're a budget-friendly, youth-oriented company — think solo travellers, backpackers, and anyone who wants a cheap way to see the country without paying for extras they don't need. Where JUCY does best is stripped-back camping vans. Most of their fleet skips the toilet and shower, and they run a solid line-up of flat-top, Kia Carnival-sized vehicles — easy to drive, easy to park, and priced for people road-tripping on a budget. One thing to know before you book: JUCY's vans can run older than some other companies on the market. If having the newest vehicle matters to you, factor that in. Pickup is straightforward. JUCY requires online check-in before your pickup day, which speeds things up at the depot — just make sure you've done it beforehand so all your booking details are ready to go. If something goes wrong on the road, JUCY runs a 24/7 phone line specifically for vehicle issues during your hire, so you're not stuck without support. For the vehicle to start with, we point people to the JUCY Coaster. It's a compact, budget-friendly two-person campervan with the essentials for camping. It's a high-top, so you get decent room overhead, but it's still easier to drive than the bigger vans in their range — a good pick if you're new to campervanning or just want something simple. | Let's Go Motorhomes runs a fleet of Jayco vehicles backed by Australia's largest RV manufacturer — solid, well-equipped campervans for couples and families doing longer road trips, without the premium price tag. Let's Go Motorhomes is a good option if you want a modern, well-equipped motorhome without paying premium prices. Their Jayco vehicles are generally in good condition and built for longer trips, with a solid range of layouts for couples and families. Being backed by Jayco, Australia's largest RV manufacturer, is their real advantage. That means access to Jayco's dealer network and over 90 repair centres nationwide — so if something goes wrong, help isn't far away. The catch: their fleet is small. Popular vehicles book out well ahead, especially over school holidays and other peak periods. If you've got specific dates or a particular motorhome in mind, book early. They run Early Bird discounts through the year too, so there's no reason to leave it late. Pickup takes about an hour. Staff check your details and travel info, sort any outstanding payment, and walk you through the rental agreement and a full vehicle induction — inside and out — so you know how everything works before you drive off. You can speed this up by completing self check-in beforehand and entering your driver details in advance, which lets branch staff process you faster on the day. If something goes wrong on the road, every vehicle comes with 24-hour roadside assistance for mechanical issues, plus a help hotline staffed by the Let's Go team if you just need a hand working out a feature on the van. They suit pretty much everyone — solo travellers, families, and groups will usually find something that fits. They're a particularly good match for anyone planning a longer road trip who wants space and a practical layout over a stripped-back budget van. Our pick from their range is the Jayco Roamer 2 Berth. It's built for couples — proper kitchen, decent living space, and an ensuite shower and toilet. It's easy to set up and has the comforts you want for a longer trip, without stepping up to one of the bigger motorhomes. | Maui is a premium campervan and motorhome brand under the THL group, known for newer vehicles loaded with the latest features. Best for travellers who want a high-end experience and don't mind paying for it. Maui are a premium brand who excel at high-end campervans and motorhomes. Their vehicles are newer than most on the market, so you rarely hear complaints about mechanical issues — and newer vehicles mean they're usually packed with the latest upgrades available. One thing to check before you book: because their fleet is newer, bond amounts can be quite high if you're not taking Maui's liability reduction options. Worth factoring into your budget upfront. Pick-up is a strong point. Maui is part of THL, which runs one of the largest campervan and motorhome fleets in Australia. You get online check-in before you arrive, plus an app with instructional videos — handy for prepping before your trip or checking something while you're on the road. If something goes wrong out on the road, Maui's fleet size works in your favour. They've got a wide network of mechanics and depots around the country for quick fixes, plus a 24/7 roadside assistance line. Maui is best suited to travellers after a premium campervan or motorhome experience — you're paying more, but you're getting a newer vehicle and better support if things go sideways. For two people wanting a new vehicle without going oversized, the Maui Ultima is our pick. It's packed with features but still a manageable size to drive and park. | Maui is a premium campervan and motorhome brand under the THL group, known for newer vehicles loaded with the latest features.

If you want a new-vehicle guarantee, this is the option. Maui Elite sits at the top end of campervan and motorhome hire in Australia. It's a new vehicle guarantee option for Maui branded vans — every vehicle you get is under 1 year old. That's the whole point of Maui Elite. If a new vehicle guarantee matters to you, this is your best choice. Nobody else does it quite the same way. Here's the catch: newer vehicles mean higher bonds.

Pickup is easy. Maui Elite sends you an online check-in before your pickup date, and their app lets you get familiar with the van before you even arrive at the depot. Less standing around, less guesswork. Maui Elite is part of one of the largest campervan and motorhome networks in Australia, so if something goes wrong on the road, you're not stuck. Wide network of mechanics and depots, plus 24/7 roadside assistance you can call anytime. Who's this for? Travellers who want a premium guarantee and are happy to pay for it. If you're after the newest van on the road with backup to match, this is the pick. For a couple or solo traveller, start with the Maui Ultima Elite. It's one of the best campervans on offer, and you get the guarantee that it's under a year old. | Maui Elite is the premium tier of Maui's fleet, guaranteeing you a vehicle under 1 year old.

They're the sister brand to the more budget-friendly, youth-oriented Jucy. Star RV run a mostly new fleet — vehicles are generally 0-5 years old, so you get modern features you won't find with suppliers running older stock. They've got a wide range of locations across Australia and a large fleet to match, alongside their sister brand Jucy, which is aimed more at budget and younger travellers. One thing to know before you book: Star RV reservations require a deposit payment (removed from the rental cost), then the remaining balance is paid directly to Star RV through online check-in. This needs to be completed before your pick-up date, so don't leave it until the last minute. The upside is that pick-up itself is generally quick and easy, because all that paperwork and payment is already sorted by the time you arrive at the depot. If something goes wrong while you're on the road, Star RV have a dedicated phone number just for vehicle assistance during your hire, so you're not stuck trying to get through general customer service. Star RV is a good fit for families and groups who want a newer vehicle with more reliable features. If you're after a solid all-rounder from their fleet, the Star RV Polaris 6 is worth a look — it's newer and gives you plenty of space. |

Sleeping capacity
How many people the vehicle sleeps. Where the supplier separates them, adult and child places are shown; a child berth isn't big enough for an adult. Seatbelts are a separate number, so check both for a group.
Bed layout
Where each bed is and what kind it is. Some beds stay made up, while others are made from the seating each night; Main bed setup shows which.
Bed sizes
Each bed's length × width in metres. Compare the length with the tallest person travelling, and the width with who is sharing.
The bed types in this comparison:
Overcab bed
A raised sleeping area above the driver's cab. Check the vehicle details for access and any weight limits.
Dinette or lounge bed
The dining or lounge seats convert into a bed. The same space is used for sitting during the day and sleeping at night.
Rear bed
A bed at the back of the vehicle. Its position does not tell you whether it stays made up or converts from seating; check Main bed setup for that.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
More in the handbook: Tips for a good night's sleep
A toilet and shower on board mean you can stay at basic or free campsites without amenities, and skip the night-time walk to a shared block. With a toilet only, you have the essentials; with neither, plan to stay where there are facilities.
An onboard toilet needs emptying at a dump point every few days.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
The supplier's age range for this model. You're given one vehicle from within it, so Up to 2 years means it has been on the supplier's fleet for no more than about two years, 4+ years means at least four, and 4–7 years means between four and seven.
Newer vehicles generally show less wear and are more likely to have recent equipment. Older vehicles have usually covered more kilometres, which raises the chance of a breakdown. Older fleets are often the budget option, and a well-maintained older camper can still suit a trip.
Suppliers count age differently. Some count time on their fleet, others go by model year, so treat a one-year difference as approximate.
More in the handbook: How likely are breakdowns?
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
The fridge's capacity in litres; a range means it depends on the vehicle you're given. A bigger fridge means fewer shopping stops, which matters most for families and on remote stretches.
How the fridge is powered when you're parked affects how long it keeps food cold away from a powered site.
More in the handbook: Using the fridge
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Heating or air-conditioning for the living area with the engine off. Many units only run at a powered site, while some heaters run from gas or the house battery, so check what each one needs.
Cab air-conditioning only works while driving. Portable heaters or fans may be included or available to hire.
More in the handbook: Heating and cooling
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Hot water makes showers and washing up easier, especially in cooler months. Without it, you'll heat water on the cooker for dishes.
Where shown, the energy source tells you what the hot water runs on.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Longer vehicles have more room inside but are harder to park in town and need a bigger campsite. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Ferry fares for campervans are usually charged by length.
More in the handbook: Ferry costs
Clean water for drinking, cooking and washing. A bigger tank means longer between refills, which matters at free campsites without taps. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
How long it lasts depends on how you use it, especially for showers.
More in the handbook: Fresh water
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How much standing room there is inside. Taller travellers will be more comfortable with more headroom; in low-roof campers most people can't stand upright.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
What you can cook on inside the vehicle. The number of burners affects how much you can cook at once, which matters for a group.
Gas cooktops run from an LPG bottle that you refill or swap on the road.
More in the handbook: Using the gas bottle
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A table and chairs make it easy to eat and relax outside, which helps most in smaller campers. Some suppliers include them; others hire them out per trip, so check before comparing prices.
More in the handbook: Equipment you can hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Used water from the sink and shower collects in the grey-water tank. A bigger tank means fewer stops at a dump point, and some campsites don't let you drain it on the ground.
It's separate from the toilet, which has its own cassette or tank.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Child seats need suitable seat positions and anchor points, and some positions only take a booster. The combination shown is what the supplier allows, so check it covers every child's age and size.
Child seats are usually hired from the supplier as an extra.
More in the handbook: Child seat hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How you can play music, connect a phone and watch a screen. A screen doesn't guarantee TV reception or DVD playback, and listed USB ports may not charge every device quickly.
Where it says some models, it isn't guaranteed in every vehicle of that model.
More in the handbook: Using the TV or screen
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How wide the vehicle is affects narrow country roads, standard car parks and tight campsites. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Multi-storey car parks, drive-throughs and some bridges have height limits, so know your vehicle's height before you set off. A raised-roof height, where shown, applies when the roof is lifted while parked.
More in the handbook: Vehicle height awareness
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A reversing camera makes parking a large vehicle much easier, because you can't see directly behind most campers. Some models means only some vehicles in the fleet have one, so you may not get it.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A microwave that needs mains power only works at a powered site, not when you're free camping.
More in the handbook: What works when connected to power
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A solar panel tops up the house battery during the day, which helps run the lights and fridge away from a powered site. How much it adds depends on the panel, the weather and how much power you use.
More in the handbook: Battery and solar
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How the vehicle is powered when parked. At a powered site everything runs; off-grid, the house battery and any solar run the lights, fridge and charging.
Not every appliance works from every source: air-conditioning and microwaves usually need mains power.
More in the handbook: What works off-grid
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Cab air-conditioning or heating makes long drives more comfortable. It runs with the engine, so it doesn't cool or heat the living area when you're parked; see Heating & cooling when parked.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A fixed bed stays made up, so you can rest at any time without rearranging. A bed made from the dinette or lounge gives you more living space by day, but takes a few minutes to set up each night and pack away each morning.
Some dinette beds can be left made up if you don't need the table.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In many smaller campers the table becomes the bed, so once the bed is made there's nowhere inside to sit and eat. A separate table matters on rainy days, or when someone wants to sleep while others are still up.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In a combined wet room the toilet sits inside the shower, so the whole room gets wet when you shower. A separate toilet and shower works more like home but takes more space.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
An outdoor or slide-out cooker keeps cooking smells and heat out of the living area, which helps in warm weather and in small campers. Many campsites also have shared barbecues.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Everyone travelling needs their own seatbelt, so this is the most people the vehicle can carry, even if it sleeps more. Some seats are in the living area rather than the cab.
More in the handbook: Will I need multiple vehicles?
An outside locker keeps bulky or dirty gear, such as chairs, hoses or wet shoes, out of the living area. Space inside is limited, so soft bags pack more easily.
More in the handbook: Luggage
