DriveNow's take: vehicle |  Jack's takeA simple and affordable 2 berth campervan that's perfect for backpackers or budget travellers wanting a sleepervan at minimal cost. The vehicle age is between 2010-2013 but the fitout is much newer (2017-2018). About Travellers Autobarn BudgieJack's takeThe Budgie is a simple and affordable 2 berth campervan that's perfect for backpackers or budget travellers wanting a sleepervan at minimal cost. While the vehicle itself is from 2010-2013, the interior fitout is much newer — between 2017-2018 — so you get a fresh cabin in a proven van. This is about getting on the road cheaply, not luxury. There's no fridge — you get an icebox instead. That means buying ice regularly and not stocking up on too much perishable food for longer trips. Buy a small extra cooler bag or be prepared to purchase ice every couple of days because the icebox won't perform like a powered fridge. After five days, outdoor lovers are drawn to this vehicle because it does what it promises: cheap, reliable transport with a bed. You trade modern luxuries and built-in amenities for affordability and low-cost travel flexibility. First-timers can handle the Budgie, but only if you're comfortable driving manual and happy with a minimalist camper experience. If you need all the conveniences, look elsewhere. If you want to get out on the road without breaking the bank, this works. | Jack's take A budget-friendly 2-berth campervan for backpackers who don't need the frills of newer vehicles. Comes with an esky instead of a fridge, so you'll need to stock up on ice. About Travellers Autobarn ChubbyJack's takeThe Chubby is Travellers Autobarn's budget option for backpackers and experienced campers who prioritise affordability over amenities. This 2-berth van trades luxury features for low prices and easy driving. The biggest difference you'll notice is the esky instead of a fridge. You'll need to buy ice regularly and only get what you need for each leg of your trip. The upside? You can stay anywhere — no need for powered campsites to keep food cold. After five days, you'll feel the space limitations. This isn't a vehicle for indoor living. It works well for travellers who spend their days exploring and just need somewhere to sleep. If you want room to relax inside or cook elaborate meals, look at bigger options. First-timers expecting the full "home on wheels" experience should probably start elsewhere. This van suits people already comfortable with basic camping who want maximum flexibility at minimum cost. The trade-off is clear: you give up fixed amenities and living space for manoeuvrability, stress-free driving, and the ability to camp anywhere. Take a powerbank for off-grid phone charging and embrace the minimalist approach. | Jack's take An affordable budget 5-berth campervan for families or groups who want to travel together without moving up to a full-sized motorhome. The rooftop solar setup works as backup power when you can't get a powered campsite. About Travellers Autobarn Hi5Jack's takeThe Hi5 is built for families or groups who want to travel together without the size and cost of a full motorhome. You get sleeping space for five people at budget prices, but this comes with trade-offs you need to know about. The vehicle can get cramped fast with five people unless you stay on top of cleaning and pack light. Unpack your gear into assigned storage spots early — shared camper space fills up quickly with everyone's stuff. The rooftop solar panels are a nice backup feature if you can't get a powered campsite, but don't rely on them as your main power source. They're there for emergencies, not to run everything. You're getting an older vehicle here. Travellers Autobarn maintains their fleet well, but expect some superficial wear and tear inside and out — that's how they keep the price down. The Hi5 is simple to drive, which helps if you're new to campervans. But if you're new to camping altogether, there are other vehicles with better facilities that might suit you better. | Jack's take A practical and budget-friendly HiTop campervan that provides the basics well. The full standing height makes everyday tasks like cooking, changing clothes, and relaxing inside much more comfortable than flat-top camper alternatives. About Travellers Autobarn HiTopJack's takeA practical and budget-friendly HiTop campervan that provides the basics well. The full standing height makes everyday tasks like cooking, changing clothes, and relaxing inside much more comfortable than flat-top camper alternatives. This vehicle works best for backpackers, solo travellers, or couples on a budget. After a week it remains comfortable for two people, while three travellers will appreciate the flexibility but need to manage storage carefully. Soft luggage is a must if travelling with 3 people. If you're travelling as a couple, you can use the single bed area for daytime storage to keep the living space uncluttered. The trade-off for the more affordable price is that you're getting a well-loved vehicle rather than one of the newer options. You can expect minor superficial wear and tear, but Travellers Autobarn still maintain their vehicles throughout their lifetime on their fleet. This is a beginner-friendly vehicle — easy to drive with most of the essentials. Book in at campgrounds that have toilet and shower facilities to make up for the lack of those facilities in the vehicle. When planning your stays, you can do some off-grid camping but make sure to connect to a powered campsite every 2nd or 3rd night to recharge the house battery. | Jack's take A well-balanced and highly practical HiTop campervan that comfortably suits couples or small groups wanting an easy all-round road trip vehicle. The Kuga has a double bed and an overhead single bed, making it flexible for 3 people to split travel costs. About Travellers Autobarn KugaJack's takeThe Kuga is Travellers Autobarn's most popular vehicle for good reason. This well-balanced HiTop campervan hits the sweet spot for couples or small groups wanting an easy all-round road trip vehicle without breaking the bank. The layout works. You get a double bed downstairs and an overhead single bed, so three people can travel together and split costs. If you're a couple, use that top bunk area for storage — it frees up serious living space below. This is a mid-range option leaning toward the budget end. You won't get the newest vehicle model with all the latest gear, but you get a solid, basic camper that does the job. The mix of modern fit-outs (2018-2025 internal) and practical layout explains why it's consistently popular. First-time campers find the Kuga easy to drive and straightforward to set up. It's tailored toward backpackers, so the functionality is basic — no complicated systems to figure out. The trade-off is space and storage. If you're travelling with three people, stay on top of cleaning and pack soft luggage you can store away. Storage is limited, so organisation matters. After five days on the road, the Kuga still works well for couples. With three people, it gets tight, but the practical layout means you can make it work if everyone pulls their weight. |  Julie's takeA basic Nissan X-Trail with camping gear — you sleep in a separate 2-man tent, not in the vehicle, so bring your own mattress. It's 2WD and simple, built for travellers after a budget option. About Travellers Autobarn X-WagonJulie's takeThe X-Wagon is a Nissan X-Trail kitted out with camping gear — it's 2WD and simple to drive, a solid budget pick. But don't think of it as a campervan. You sleep in a separate 2-man tent, and you'll need to bring your own mattress, pillow, cushions and bedding — none of that comes with the vehicle. Because of the size, you can't stand up inside the X-Trail itself, so this suits people who genuinely like the outdoors and don't mind camping in a tent each night. For longer trips, book campgrounds or caravan parks with good facilities — you'll want the extra comfort by day five. It's easy enough to drive that we'd happily put a first-timer in it, but if you want more facilities and an easier first trip, there are better-suited options in the range. Before you drive off, check the tent and camping gear at the depot — it's all fairly basic, so make sure everything you need is actually there. This is a budget rental, so expect honest, lived-in fleet condition rather than a showroom car. If you want a cheap way to see Australia in a comfortable, modern SUV and don't mind tent life, this is the one. |
DriveNow's take: supplier | Julie's take Travellers Autobarn is a budget-friendly favourite with backpackers, offering unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18–80, and free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up. Vehicles lean toward the simpler, older-style end of the market — good value if you're more focused on the road trip than modern features. About Travellers AutobarnJulie's takeTravellers Autobarn has built its name with backpackers and budget travellers who want an affordable, flexible way to see Australia. You get unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18 to 80, 24/7 roadside assistance, free campsites, and 10% off G'day Parks and the RoadTrip App. Where they stand out: free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up, and their security bonds are only frozen, not charged. That's a real advantage if your plans change or you want your money accessible while you travel. Here's what to know before you book. These vans sit in the mid-range, leaning budget — simpler and often older-style than some competitors. Space and facilities vary a lot by model, so pick the right one for how you actually want to travel, not just the cheapest option on the list. Pick-up is straightforward. The team walks you through the vehicle and shows you how everything works before you head off. Give yourself a bit of extra time for the handover so you're not rushed and can ask questions before you hit the road. If something goes wrong on the road, roadside assistance (NRMA/RACQ/RACV) is available 24/7 on 1800 674 374. For everything else, Travellers Autobarn doesn't run a 24/7 customer line — their support operates 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and 10:30am to 3pm on Sundays and public holidays (Eastern time). Call 1800 674 374 from an Australian landline, or +61 2 8323 1555 from mobiles and overseas (charges apply). If you're calling from WA, remember the 2-3 hour time difference. Travellers Autobarn is the right call for budget-conscious travellers who don't mind a simpler, older-style van in exchange for keeping costs down. They suit people who care more about value for money and getting on the road than chasing the latest fit-out. For a first pick, go with the Hi-5. It sleeps up to five (though only two proper double beds), and comes with a real kitchenette, fridge, microwave, and solar panel. It's a solid step up in space and comfort for families or small groups without pushing you into a full-size motorhome. | Julie's take Travellers Autobarn is a budget-friendly favourite with backpackers, offering unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18–80, and free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up.

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:
Upper and lower beds
Beds arranged one above the other inside the vehicle. The upper bed may have a weight limit, shown in the vehicle details where confirmed.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
Single bed
A separate bed for one person. Some are child berths; check the sleeping capacity and dimensions in the table.

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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
Most rental campervans are automatic, and some older or budget models are manual. If you only drive automatics, make sure every vehicle you're considering is one.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
With a walk-through you can move between the cab and the living area without getting out, which is handy in rain or at night. Without one, you step outside to get from one to the other.
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.
Whether pots, pans, plates and cutlery come with the vehicle. Most suppliers include a kitchen kit; some charge for it as an extra, so check what's included before comparing prices.
More in the handbook: What's supplied with the vehicle
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.
