About This Company

A conglomerate company for smaller rental businesses in Australia, Campervan Village offers lots of selections from different entities on their fleet. With the extensive rental range, they accommodate independent travellers, couples, and small families.

This conglomerate campervan hire for smaller rental businesses in Australia offers diverse vehicles great for smaller groups on a tight budget. As a booking specialist for companies like Aventus Rentals, Bondi Vans, Mystery Machines, Rouge Rentals, Grip 4WD Rental, and Armadillo 4WD Rental, they relatively takes into account your budget and other details for you to choose the right unit. And since Campervan Village has 8 branches all over Australia, it provides one-way road trips for independent travellers and smaller families, but no free airport pick-ups and drop-offs. On the brighter side, renting a vehicle from Campervan Village may save you money because they beat competitors of the same vehicle and same travel duration by 10%. 

Having 5 different rental companies in one cluster gives lots of options for renters, from compact 2-berth to reliable 4WD's. Though most vehicles on set are newer models, some are not fully-equipped so you need to pay an extra amount for optional extras to make your vacation a little more comfy and convenient. Still, bring your own pillows and blanket as these are not included in the extras. 

A definite standout from the conventional, white campervans on the road, these Mystery Machines painted in bright hues and colorful patterns make your holiday a bit more memorable. There are two variations—the 2-seater and the 3-seater—the prior having a Suzuki APV 4-Door Van as a base and the latter using a Toyota Regius Van. The 2-seater is a pretty new model with 5-speed manual transmission and comes with 46 litres unleaded petrol. The 3-seater, on the other hand, is a 4-speed automatic with bigger fuel capacity and an additional charging socket at the rear. Both economical campervans are equipped with cooking equipment, along with ice cooler, mattress, camping table, and stools. 

Built on a 2016 Suzuki APV, this 2-seater campervan from Rouge Rentals is another head-turner on the fleet because of its bright red exterior. There's a nice kitchen with a tiny sink at the rear that is equipped with plates, cups, bowls, and other cooking and dining essentials. The living room features a small table good for playing cards or watching your favorite movies. And at night, the living area converts into a bedroom with a double bed. 

Another cheap choice for newer models are the 2-seater Aventus campervans. There are two options on offer—the manual Suzuki APV 4-door van and the automatic Toyota Estima 4-Door Van. Both campervans are fitted out with a spacious interior with a lot of storage space. The kitchens at the rear are also filled with cooking facilities and a list of thoughtful extras for your cooking sessions. These campervans are pretty much the same with the 2 berth unit from Rouge Rentals but in a different color. 

Campervan Village considers the liability reduction option as a mandatory additional fee. By paying an additional of $32/day for 2WD and $50/day for 4WD/AWD, you reduce the liability to $3,500 for 2WD and $5,500 for 4WD/AWD and credit card imprint for all models. Aside from that, these already include coverage for 4 tyres and front windscreen and no additional fee for extra drivers. 

Campervan Village gives you different options to choose from, not just with one company, but at least 5 different entities. Though not that popular because renters still prefer to book directly to the owners, this campervan hire is a notable choice for those looking for more affordable rates. They are suitable for budget backpackers and small families in need of an affordable road trip. Since the company isn't the real owners of the campervans, maintenance and servicing could be an issue. However, wear and tear is just a slight concern because most of the units are new models.

If you run out of a campervan booking from a renowned company, then Campervan Village may be a good option. They have a lot of selections from smaller companies that focus more on competitive rates and compact vehicles.

Avoid at all costs
We had a booking with campervan village which they cancelled 12 days before we were due to go away and failed to inform us. I called 4 days out to confirm the booking and pay and was informed it was cancelled. I was provided no explanation or apology. I did not want to rebook with them due to the horrible service provided and understanding that they do not return your bond! It’s worth paying more elsewhere!!!

Doesn't care about its customers!
Had a booking with their agent Campervan finder and had to cancel as COVID 19 resulted in Australia closing all its boarders. When I tried to cancel the booking with the agent i was told Campervan village was not offering any refunds. After contacting fair trade for assistance the agent offered a partial refund but kept over $500! The reason given by the agent……. 'Because I pushed for the refund they are charging us a hefty cancellation fee and only giving us a little bit back. The remaining money + credit we have to cop on the chin and pay out of our pocket to you :( This is honestly the best situation and something that hasn't been provided to other customers. Campervan Village isn't willing to cooperate with the Department of Fair Trading because there isn't much the Department Of Fair Trading can do.' This has obviously been a difficult time for everyone, it is just highly disappointing that these companies would treat their customers in such a way. I would recommend anyone looking for a rental company to find an alternative.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY
Terrible experience with this company. They overbooked our van so we didn't get the van we ordered. And the van we got had several mechanical issues as the oil light was on the whole time and the battery didn't start so we were stranded for hours. When we complained to customer service they didn't care at all and were negligent about the issue. Do yourself a favour and go for a more reputable company.

Attention
We rented a vehicle in Sydney and returned the vehicle in early March 2020. Vehicle approved without any problems. But the deposit of more than 1000 dollars which was to be returned maximum 1 month after the return, was not returned to us. Either the company does not respond to messages and I think it is a scam. So avoid renting in this company.

Beware scam, After two and a half months the deposit of more than a thousand dollars has not been returned. The company no longer responds to my emails. I just started legal proceedings.

our campervan village experience
so as we got our van in melbourne last januari. we had 2 rainy nights, we we're totally drowned due the fact they forgot to add a raincover for our rooftoptent. also kinda forgot to check the dishes after the returning of the last customers... all dirty. the tank was unreliable! we didn't have a table but did have some broken chairs. we went to adelaide to check everything and the only thing that happened was blaiming melbourne (there the same company!!). after 2 weeks of missary with the car and also much of fun beneith it we thought it would be done... not! we came in Esperance and suspected the imperial loosed up. we had to go to a mechanic and after 2 days the fixed it and putted a new one on. to dangerous to drive with were his words. we desperately wanted an other car and luckily we we're able to do that! after 3 weeks finally! the car was fine but in one sentence. the worst customer service ever! our luck was a dutch company that helped us out.
