Locally owned campervan hire based in Exmouth, Western Australia — gateway to Ningaloo Reef. Two fully self-contained, solar-powered campervans with contactless
Exmouth Camper Hire is the only locally owned and operated campervan rental company in the Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef area of Western Australia. Their current fleet consists of two fully self-contained, solar-powered campervans — the Leisure Camper (2023 Toyota Hilux, $275/night) and the Hi-Top Campervan (2018 Toyota Hiace, $290/night) — both built for 2-person travel with a fixed or convertible double bed, 2-burner gas cooker, and a 65–80 litre fridge.
Being one of only a handful of campervan suppliers in the Exmouth and Ningaloo region, Exmouth Camper Hire operates with a personal, contactless service model. All bookings are processed online, instructional videos are provided, and the team is readily available via email or phone. The owners are on-hand to suggest itineraries — covering Cape Range National Park, Coral Bay, Karijini, and the Coral Coast — and will even help you navigate campsite availability at Cape Range if the parks booking system is challenging.
Both campervans come thoroughly stocked. Inclusions cover snorkelling sets, beach towels, camp chairs, outdoor table, cooking utensils, full bedding, a beach umbrella, LED torch, dry bag, and a complimentary bottle of LPG gas. Solar panels are fixed to the roof on both vehicles, keeping the secondary battery charged for lights, fridge, and water pump off-grid. Neither vehicle has an onboard toilet, which is typical for compact campervan hire — caravan park facilities are available throughout the region.
One notable limitation is insurance: Exmouth Camper Hire does not offer a bond reduction option. The standard excess is $1,500 with a $10,000 liability cap, and windscreen, tyre, and glass damage are charged separately. Travellers who want reduced excess cover should factor this in when comparing operators. For more context on how insurance works across the industry, see our guide to campervan hire insurance in Australia.
One-way hires from Exmouth to Perth (Burns Beach) are available on the Leisure Camper at a discounted one-way fee — a practical option for travellers flying in to Exmouth and driving the Coral Coast south. The 150km free daily kilometre allowance applies (35 cents/km thereafter), which suits the concentrated itinerary around Exmouth and Cape Range but may limit longer touring routes without extra cost.
Exmouth Camper Hire suits couples and solo travellers who want a quality local operator for a Ningaloo-focused trip, without the standardised fleet of the major national operators. Their 5.0 Google rating across 157+ reviews reflects consistently strong service. For travellers exploring broader Western Australia, WA Experts and Go Camper offer larger fleets with more one-way flexibility. For well-equipped national operators with airport pickup across Australia, Maui Australia is a strong comparison point. Those heading to Tasmania after their WA trip may want to consider Devil Campers for the southern leg.
Before you set off, read our guide to planning a campervan road trip in Australia and make sure to pack the sun essentials — Exmouth averages extreme UV levels year-round.
Exmouth, Western Australia — the gateway to Ningaloo Reef and Cape Range National Park. This is the only locally owned and operated campervan hire company in the Exmouth and Ningaloo region. For travellers flying into Learmonth Airport (or driving north from Perth), Exmouth Camper Hire means no long detour to a Perth depot and back.
Two vehicles: the Leisure Camper (2023 Toyota HiLux, $275/night, solar, 65L fridge, 2-person, fixed double bed) and the Hi-Top Campervan (2018 Toyota HiAce, $290/night, solar, 80L fridge, 2-person, convertible double). Both are self-contained: solar panels, dual battery, LED lighting, water pump. Neither has onboard toilet — campsite facilities required throughout. Both include snorkelling sets, beach towels, camp chairs, table, cooking utensils, full bedding, beach umbrella, LED torch, dry bag, and complimentary LPG.
Yes — one-way hire from Exmouth to Perth (Burns Beach) is available on the Leisure Camper at a discounted one-way fee. This is a practical option for travellers flying into Exmouth and driving the Coral Coast south. The 150km free daily kilometre allowance applies (35c/km thereafter) — plan your daily distances accordingly for the Exmouth-to-Perth run.
No — standard excess is $1,500 with a $10,000 liability cap. Windscreen, tyre, and glass damage are charged separately. No daily reduction option is currently offered. Travellers who want reduced-excess cover should factor this in when comparing operators, and consider whether a standalone excess protection policy from a third-party provider suits their needs. See our campervan insurance guide for context.
The owners are hands-on local guides — they'll help navigate Cape Range National Park's booking system (which can be challenging), suggest itineraries covering the reef, gorges, and Coral Bay, and advise on current campsite availability. This local knowledge is genuinely useful in a region where campsite access and park permits require advance planning.
Fully online booking with instructional videos provided before arrival. The team is readily available via email or phone throughout — contactless doesn't mean unsupported. For a 2-vehicle operation in a remote location, the process is well-documented and consistently praised in the 157+ Google reviews.
Exmouth Camper Hire is one of Australia's highest-rated small operators — 5.0 Google across 157+ reviews for a two-vehicle company in one of Australia's most remote locations. The reason is the combination of genuinely well-equipped, solar-powered campervans, extraordinary local Ningaloo knowledge, and an owner who is actively engaged in making every hire succeed. The snorkelling gear, beach kit, and complimentary LPG as standard inclusions tell you everything about the philosophy.
The honest constraints: two vehicles, no bond reduction, 150km daily limit, and no onboard toilet. For a Ningaloo-focused trip where you want the best local operator in the region — Exmouth Camper Hire is the clear answer. For a broader WA road trip requiring more flexibility, supplement the comparison with WA Experts or RedSands Campers.
Two vehicles means availability is limited. Book as early as possible, particularly for peak reef season (March–October).
