About This Company
Canberra Campervan Hire is a compact, owner-operated outfit running out of O'Connor in the ACT. Two vehicles, one depot — no empire, no corporate template, just Lucian and whatever motorhome or campervan is ready for your next run.
What stands out immediately: they're genuinely dog-friendly. Not grudgingly tolerant — they specifically call it out on the homepage. That puts them in a smaller club than most hire companies in Australia, and it matters.
The Discovery is the budget play — a 2012 Toyota Hiace campervan, automatic, sleeping up to 3. Simple, clean, well-maintained. No frills but no surprises either. The Ovation is where they've clearly spent the money: a Fiat Ducato motorhome with solar panels, inverter, hot shower (internal AND outdoor), proper kitchen, and enough berth for four. Road-trip-ready from day one.
Both vehicles come with comprehensive insurance included in the daily rate and 24/7 NRMA roadside assistance — that's a real differentiator when you're heading into regional Australia with no backup plan. Minimum 7-day hire keeps things straightforward.
Location is excellent for anyone exploring the ACT, southern NSW, or heading up the coast toward Sydney or Melbourne. Pick-up and drop-off at the one depot is easy to manage from Canberra's north side.
Highly recommended for travellers who want a real human to talk to and a vehicle that's been looked after properly — not churned through a fleet rotation.
