An affordable way to get around Australia, Rouge Rentals offers 2-berth campervan that features a bright red exterior with well-designed interiors. They have 8 offices scattered around Australia, ideal for a one-way road trip!
With seven branches all over Australia―Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, Rouge Rentals keeps it very convenient for independent travellers eyeing for one-way adventures. Offering affordable 2-berth campervans, it's now easier to roam around the scenic Aussie roads with a bright, little red campervan equipped with full kitchen, comfy bed, and of course, unlimited kilometers. And every month, they offer different deals for every renter. Surprisingly, Rouge is the sister's company with Campervan Village and even Wicked! In comparison to its associated companies, Rouge Rentals is much more reliable, with newer vehicles.
Take note, they only have one campervan type on offer. So, if you're a touring family or travelling with a big group, sorry, but there's no option for you in their fleet. These are 2 berth campervans operated by 2016 Suzuki APV models, which are simple yet practical on the road. Each model comes with a kitchen in the rear, where you can cook and store your food, and even spotlights a tiny sink to wash your dishes. No need to bring your own plates, bowls, cups, and other kitchen and cooking utensils because you are already provided with such essentials.
These 2 berth adventure vans are suitable for couples who would want a funky road trip for two. Armed with a rear kitchenette, you can cook and store your food with the equipped gas cooker, pots, pans, and an esky. Featuring a manual transmission, these little campervans are easy to maneuver. The living room of the campervan accents a small yet charming table great for entertainment like playing cards or watching your favorite series. At night, the spacious living room now converts into a cozy bedroom with a double bed.
Since there is limited information about the insurance, you can contact the company directly and verify the standard liability and reduction options.
Rouge Rentals focuses on one market―solo backpackers or couples. Renting out small, adorable campervans, they have 8 branches across Australia that pave way for one-way trips. Because of their limited fleet that only cater to up two people, bigger families or larger groups will be disappointed. But if you and your partner are looking for a cheap and easy way to tour Australia, they can be a good choice.
So, whether you're taking a short or long trip to any part of Australia, the groovy, little red campervan of Rouge Rentals keeps you company.

Tell the world about your experience renting from this companyI’ll start this review by saying we actually booked our camper with Wicked Campers - we really didn’t want to but being young and starting our trip in Broome meant they were the only company we could use. We were promised an unpainted van, and when we turned up to the independent mechanic in Broome (Wicked pay them to store their vans. They have nothing to do with the company), he gave us a rouge! We have figured out that Campervan village, including Rouge, is in the same company as Wicked. We weren’t even charged for a bond.
We both absolutely adored our beautiful little red van. Being so new, it was a pleasure to drive, and yes it is small, but this is an upside when driving around cities and towns.
The bed mattresses were pretty uncomfortable and didn’t fit the base correctly, but we were camping! we didn’t care. We also had to go to a target and buy fresh plates/cutlery etc cos the ones provided were a bit mucky and old - but again, we didn’t care, we had expected to pay for stuff.
All in all - we loved our van and she got us very safely from point A to B - 6000kms later!!
