About Ozzie Travellers
Fleet At A Glance
Ozzie Travellers is an Adelaide-based campervan hire and conversion company offering a focused range of campervans and 4WD vehicles from their Bowden depot. Founded in 2014, the business operates as something of an all-in-one vehicle hub: sales, rentals, and conversions from the same site. This setup means some vehicles available for hire have been on-site for a period while waiting for sale — a practical arrangement that keeps costs down for budget-focused hirers.
The fleet covers two categories: classic campervans (fully outfitted, comfortable sleeping and kitchen setup) and 4WD models (for outback and unsealed road access). Both options are suited to couples and small families exploring South Australia and beyond from an Adelaide base.
Location
Bowden, Adelaide — a short drive from the CBD. Accessible pickup location for both city-based travellers and those arriving at Adelaide Airport. No multi-depot network — return to Bowden required on completion.
Insurance
Confirm insurance terms and excess amounts directly with Ozzie Travellers at the time of booking. As a small operator, terms are best discussed directly. See our campervan insurance guide for context on the Australian excess system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Ozzie Travellers based?
Bowden, Adelaide, South Australia. Accessible from the Adelaide CBD and airport. Return to Bowden required at the end of hire.
What vehicles does Ozzie Travellers offer?
Classic campervans and 4WD models. Both are suited to couples and small families. As a sales-and-rental operation, specific vehicle availability varies — contact directly to confirm current fleet and model details before booking.
Does Ozzie Travellers offer conversions?
Yes — campervan conversions are offered alongside hire and sales. If you're considering purchasing or converting a vehicle for longer travel, the on-site expertise covers all three.
What routes is Ozzie Travellers suited to?
Adelaide-based South Australian touring: the Barossa Valley, the Flinders Ranges, the Coorong, and Kangaroo Island access routes. The 4WD models extend access to Outback SA routes including the Oodnadatta Track and Strzelecki Track for experienced off-road travellers.
How does Ozzie Travellers compare to national operators?
Apollo and Britz both operate from Adelaide with one-way hire options nationally. Calypso Campervans also has an Adelaide depot for east coast routes. Ozzie Travellers suits travellers who prefer a small independent operator for South Australia-focused travel and who may be interested in combining hire with a campervan purchase or conversion inquiry.

Who Should Book Ozzie Travellers
Book Ozzie Travellers if:
- You're Adelaide-based and want a local independent operator for a South Australian road trip
- You're interested in both hiring and potentially purchasing a campervan — the all-in-one setup suits exploratory buyers
- Budget-focused travel within South Australia is the goal
- You want a 4WD option for outback SA tracks from an Adelaide base
Think twice if:
- You need one-way hire between states — look at Apollo or Calypso for Adelaide-connected national routes
- You need a guaranteed newer fleet — the sales-and-rental hybrid model means vehicle ages vary
Final Verdict
Ozzie Travellers is a practical local independent for Adelaide-based South Australian road trips — particularly useful for travellers who want to explore the campervan market simultaneously through hire, sales, and conversion offerings. The Bowden location is accessible, the dual campervan and 4WD offering covers both highway and outback use cases, and the small-operator approach suits those who prefer dealing with a local team over a national call centre.
For national one-way routes or a newer guaranteed fleet, Apollo or Britz from their Adelaide depots are the practical comparison. For South Australia-specific travel from a genuinely local operator — Ozzie Travellers is worth a direct inquiry.
