About This Company
Specializing in cheap campervan hire with a limited rental fleet, Devil Campers is the Tazmanian rental constituent of one of Australia's large rental vehicle networks. Over the course of time, several campers were added into their rental range. Now, they have eight units for hire.
Devil Campers is part of a larger rental network in Australia, including the likes of Captain Billy's 4WD Hire and Tasmania Campers in Australia, as well as Tui Campers, Tui Sleepervans, Freedom Campers, and Budget Campers in New Zealand. Based in Tasmania, this campervan rental company provides depot in Hobart, with pick up/drop off fees. Their charges, as well as conditions, may vary from time to time, though the rates are still mainly on the budget scale. Though they offer one-way rentals, their vehicles are restricted within Tasmania only.
If you have a keen eye, then you'll know that they have the same fleet as Tasmania Campers. Running an extensive range of campervans and 4WD units, Devil Campers now provides eight vehicles. They have funky-styled sleepervans and campervans are preferable for budget-conscious couples or small families who love some loud exteriors and cozy interior. Because of the cheaper rate, you cannot expect for an overly luxurious rental hire. Still, you will be greeted with simple yet furnished vehicles equipped with dining table, cutlery, crockery, sound system, camping grounds, and maps. Camping chairs, tables, and awning are not for free. At the start of your hire, the rented vehicle comes with a full tank of fuel and should be returned with the same upon return. On the other hand, they have sturdy 4WDs meant for adventurous wanderers.
The 2002 Toyota Hiace is a 2 berth sleepervan with limited headroom. This unit may be small but it already provides a mini kitchen with cooking essentials, sink, cabinets, onboard water, and a cooler box. Adjacent to the cooking area is a cozy daytime lounge that becomes a double bed for two. There is ample storage for your equipment underneath the couch. The kitchen countertop is extendable so that you can easily transverse from cooking to eating.
A more spacious unit that can comfortably cater to couples, the Hitop model highlights its roomier headroom and cozier interior. The overhead area provides extra light and storage for your stuff. At the back of the driver's seat is the kitchen sink with cabinet. On both sides are two single couches that convert into a large double bed.

Whilst Devil Campers isn't really that popular in the rental industry in Tasmania, they have continued to be a cheaper alternative for couples who want to rent out a basic campervan with basic amenities. The rental rate is one of the competitive aspects of this budget-based company that is part of a large rental network in Australia. Plus, they now have several units for rent, from campervans to 4WDs. But if you're looking for much reliable rental companies coupled with a more positive reputation, there are several options to consider.
Devil Campers isn't still on the list of the most admirable campervan hires in Tasmania. Plus, their limited rental options is another disappointment. But you may give credit to their cheaper rates and rental options for couples and small families
