Budget campervan and 4WD hire based in Hobart, Tasmania. Part of a large rental network spanning Australia and New Zealand.
Devil Campers is a Tasmania-only budget rental operation headquartered at a Cambridge depot just outside Hobart. It sits firmly in the no-frills end of the market — rates are competitive, the vehicles are practical rather than luxurious, and the focus is squarely on getting couples and small families onto the road in the Apple Isle without spending a fortune.
The campervan fleet is built entirely on Toyota HiAce platforms, which is a sensible choice: they are mechanically reliable, relatively easy to repair, and well-suited to Tasmania's mix of sealed highways and gravel roads. The entry-level Devil Sleepervan and Finder HiTop are classic budget units — compact, functional kitchenettes, convertible double beds, and enough storage for a week's worth of gear. Step up to the Trail Finder range and you get a microwave, fridge, and space for a child, which makes a real difference for families. The 3+2 Finder adds an automatic transmission, a welcome feature for drivers not comfortable with a manual in hilly Tasmanian terrain.
Where Devil Campers genuinely stands out is its 4WD category. The Bush Camper and Bush Challenger range are purpose-built for off-road use — not converted vans wearing a '4WD' label. The Bush Camper 4 Berth in particular is a capable machine: retractable awning, external shower, two double beds, and genuine off-road credentials. This opens up access to areas of Tasmania inaccessible to standard campervans, from the Tarkine rainforest to the wild south-west. For comparison, most budget operators in Australia don't offer anything in this class. If you're researching alternatives, Tasmania Campers runs a similar fleet from the same network and is worth comparing. For premium 4WD options, Captain Billy's 4WD Hire is the most respected specialist in the country. And if you're considering extending your trip across the Tasman, Tui Campers is the sister company in New Zealand.
The insurance structure follows the standard Australian tiered excess model. Base liability for sleepervans and campervans sits at $2,800 (rising to $3,800 for under-25 drivers), with two daily reduction options bringing this down to $850 or zero. The 4WD units carry a higher base excess of $3,800. This is mid-range for the budget sector — not the cheapest in market, but not alarming either. Worth noting: airport transport, baby seats, and LPG bottles are add-ons under the top-tier insurance option rather than included.
The major constraint is geographical. All rentals are Tasmania-only. You cannot do a one-way hire that crosses to the mainland, and the fleet is not permitted off the island. This is actually a positive framing if Tasmania is your sole destination — the vehicles are selected and priced for local conditions rather than continental touring. For a pure Tasmanian road trip on a budget, Devil Campers is a practical and affordable choice.
Cambridge depot just outside Hobart, Tasmania — a short drive from Hobart Airport. Tasmania-only: vehicles are not permitted to leave the island and mainland one-way hire is not available. If Tasmania is your sole destination, the location is ideal for a fly-in, drive-off start.
Two categories. Budget campervans: the Devil Sleepervan and Devil Finder HiTop (manual Toyota HiTop, 2-berth or 3-berth, basic kitchenettes, no bathroom). 4WD bush vehicles: the Bush Camper 2 Berth, Bush Camper 4 Berth (Mitsubishi Triton auto, retractable awning, external shower), and Bush Challenger (Toyota LandCruiser V8, custom-built for longer remote journeys). The 4WD range opens parts of Tasmania inaccessible to standard campervans — the Tarkine, the wild south-west, and remote gravel road networks.
Yes — Devil Campers is the budget sub-brand operating from the same Cambridge depot as Tasmania Campers. Both use the same booking system and are part of the same company group. If you find either site, you're looking at the same depot and the same support infrastructure. Devil Campers offers the older, more budget-oriented stock; Tasmania Campers the slightly newer Trail Finder range.
Base liability for campervans is $2,800 (rising to $3,800 for under-25 drivers); 4WD units carry a $3,800 base excess. Daily reduction options bring liability to $850 or zero. Check-in: airport transport, baby seats, and LPG bottles are add-ons under the top-tier insurance option. See our campervan insurance guide for a full breakdown.
One-way hire is available between Tasmanian locations. All rentals must end in Tasmania — no ferry or mainland drop-off.
Leisure Rent is Tasmania's highest-rated operator with a newer fleet and keyless airport pickup. Devil Campers competes on price — lower daily rates for older vehicles from the same region. If budget is the primary driver and the 4WD range appeals for off-road access, Devil is worth comparing; if you want the best Tasmania experience regardless of cost, Leisure Rent leads the market.
Devil Campers is Tasmania's budget option — older vehicles, lower prices, and a 4WD range that genuinely opens remote corners of the island that standard campervans can't reach. The Cambridge depot and shared infrastructure with Tasmania Campers mean you're getting the same support with a budget label attached.
The honest comparison is Leisure Rent: newer fleet, higher ratings, keyless pickup, no credit card bond hold. If budget isn't the constraint, Leisure Rent wins the comparison. If price is the deciding factor, or if the 4WD Bush Challenger for remote south-west Tasmania is the draw — Devil Campers delivers a functional, supported option for the Apple Isle.

Devil Campers is a budget-focused campervan rental company operating exclusively in Tasmania, Australia. Based at their Hobart depot in Cambridge, the company provides an accessible entry point to exploring one of Australia's most pristine wilderness destinations. Whether you're a couple chasing waterfalls in the Tarkine, a family heading to the Freycinet Peninsula, or a group of adventurers tackling the rugged South West, Devil Campers offers a vehicle to match your style and budget.
The fleet spans eight distinct models across two core categories: budget campervans and purpose-built 4WD bush campers. The campervan range — including the Devil Sleepervan, Devil Finder HiTop, Trail Finder 2/3, Devil 3+2 Finder, and Trail Finder 4+1 — is built on the reliable Toyota HiAce platform, offering proven mechanical simplicity and reasonable running costs. These units suit travellers who plan to stay at established campgrounds and caravan parks throughout Tasmania. Each is equipped with a kitchenette, bedding, and basic cooking utensils, so you can hit the road without packing your entire kitchen.
For those wanting to venture beyond the sealed roads, the 4WD range is a genuine standout. The Bush Camper 2 Berth, Bush Camper 4 Berth, and Bush Challenger are purpose-built for off-road conditions. The Bush Camper 4 Berth in particular is one of the more capable vehicles in the Tasmanian rental market, featuring a retractable awning, external shower, and sleeping for four — ideal for groups exploring remote stretches of Tasmania's west coast or Cradle Mountain hinterland. All 4WD units come equipped with 12V power, cold water supply, and linen, making them genuinely self-sufficient in the field.
Devil Campers operates within a broader Australian rental network, sharing infrastructure with Tasmania Campers and Captain Billy's 4WD Hire. One-way hire and airport pickup are available, though rentals are restricted within Tasmania — cross-Bass Strait travel is not permitted. Pricing is firmly in the budget tier, with excess liability options that let you reduce your risk exposure for a daily fee. If you're after no-frills Tasmanian adventures at a competitive price, Devil Campers is worth a serious look.
