Maui is THL's premium motorhome brand in Australia — all vehicles are under 2.5 years old as standard, with a maui Elite upgrade guaranteeing under 1 year. Six
Six models from 2 to 6 berths: the Beach and Horizon (2-berth), River (4-berth), Cascade and Summit (both 4-berth with different sleeping configurations), and the Sunset (6-berth). Every model is automatic, fully self-contained with on-board toilet and shower, and includes linen.
The Cascade is the standout pick for families of four — its drop-down bed system separates sleeping from the lounge area, solving the classic 4-berth compromise. The Beach is the most popular model overall. The Sunset is the right choice for six people who want comfort rather than a tight squeeze.
Maui vehicles are brand new to approximately 2.5 years old. The maui Elite upgrade narrows this to under 1 year. You're always getting first use of THL's newest fleet.
Britz runs the same vehicles from approximately 2.5 years to 4 years old — newer than Mighty, more affordable than Maui. The sweet spot for most travellers.
Mighty Campers takes vehicles from 4 years through to end of life. The budget tier — same mechanicals, older age, lower daily rate.
For an additional $55 per day (from April 2026), the maui Elite upgrade guarantees your motorhome is under 1 year old at the time of rental. The standard fleet is already under 2.5 years, so the gap isn't enormous — but if you're travelling for a special occasion and won't accept anything that's been on the road more than 12 months, this is the right upgrade.
Standard security deposit at pickup is typically $3,500–$5,000 depending on vehicle class, held on credit card. Maui offers two Liability Reduction Option (LRO) tiers: a base LRO reducing liability to $0, and a premium LRO that adds single-vehicle rollover cover and additional inclusions. Rates shift seasonally — check at booking.
Every Maui rental includes unlimited kilometres, full linen and bedding, a complete kitchen kit (crockery, cutlery, cookware, microwave, toaster), 24/7 roadside assistance, and access to the THL Roadtrip Planner App for finding campgrounds, dump points, and water refills. Qantas Frequent Flyer points are earned on all bookings.
Ten depots across Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome, and Hobart. One-way hire is available between most locations.
Seasonal closures apply to remote branches. Alice Springs, Darwin, and Broome typically close during the wet season (roughly December to March) when road conditions make outback travel impractical. Confirm availability before booking if your itinerary touches these regions.
Maui shares depot infrastructure with Britz and Mighty Campers under THL's national network — if something goes wrong mid-trip, support is available at the nearest THL depot regardless of brand.
Maui is the clearest premium proposition in the Australian campervan market. THL is the country's largest operator, and Maui sits at the top of its fleet hierarchy. You know exactly what you're getting: the newest vehicles on the THL network, full inclusions, and the depth of a 10-depot national infrastructure. The trade-off is cost — Maui is consistently the most expensive THL brand by a meaningful margin.
Best suited to couples and families who want a motorhome that feels genuinely new, travellers on special trips or anniversaries, and anyone who wants the premium end of Australia's largest operator without compromise on vehicle age or condition.
All Maui vehicles are guaranteed to be under 2.5 years old as standard. The optional maui Elite upgrade (from $55/day, available from April 2026) narrows this further to under 1 year old. After their time in the Maui fleet, vehicles transfer to Britz and eventually Mighty Campers.
All three brands are owned by THL and share the same vehicles at different points in their lifecycle. Maui runs vehicles from new to approximately 2.5 years old — the newest iron on the network. Britz takes them from 2.5 to 4 years old. Mighty Campers runs them through to end of life. Maui is the most expensive, Mighty is the cheapest, Britz sits in the middle.
Maui operates six models: Beach and Horizon (2-berth), River (4-berth), Cascade and Summit (both 4-berth with different configurations), and the Sunset (6-berth). All models are automatic with on-board toilet and shower, full kitchen kit, and linen included.
Without a Liability Reduction Option, Maui holds a security deposit of $3,500–$5,000 on your credit card at pickup. The base LRO reduces your liability to zero. The premium LRO adds single-vehicle rollover cover and additional inclusions. Rates vary by season — always check current pricing at the time of booking.
Maui has 10 depots: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome, and Hobart. One-way hire is available between most locations. Note that Alice Springs, Darwin, and Broome close seasonally during the wet season (approximately December–March).
Yes — one-way hire is available between most of Maui's 10 depot locations across Australia. A one-way fee applies and varies depending on the route. Popular one-way routes include Sydney to Cairns, Perth to Darwin, and Melbourne to Adelaide.
Maui is the clearest luxury campervan proposition in Australia. No guesswork about what you're getting: the newest vehicles in THL's three-tier fleet, every model fully self-contained, 10 depots nationwide, and the option to guarantee a vehicle under 12 months old. It is deliberately and unapologetically the premium tier.
The premium is real — Maui costs significantly more per day than Britz or Mighty Campers. If vehicle age is not your primary concern, Britz delivers the same infrastructure and similar vehicles at a meaningfully lower daily rate. If you just want the cheapest way into a THL campervan, Mighty is the answer.
For travellers who want a motorhome that feels new, for families who want a 6-berth that doesn't feel compromised, and for anyone marking a significant trip — Maui is worth the extra spend.
