Most campervan rentals in Broome cost between $120 to $450 per day (most fees included).
Rental prices can vary depending on the following factors:
Rental companies in Broome typically hire out three distinct vehicle types:
The low-cost campervan is a small van with basic cooking facilities and a bed in the back.
Although less luxurious, the 4WD camper is a powerful off-road beast capable of exploring the Kimberley’s rugged outback tracks.
The motorhome is a large, flashy vehicle featuring all the comforts of home. However, it’s more expensive to hire and refuel.
The cheapest time to hire a campervan in Broome is during the off-peak travel season, typically between January and March, due to increased rain activity during monsoon season.
Peak season, which also coincides with the dry season, will see the heftiest rental rates, especially from June to August.
While no campervan rental companies are directly at Broome airport, suppliers such as Britz, Maui and Apollo are located on McDaniel Road, a 5-minute drive from the airport.
Renting a camper is the most convenient and cost-effective way to gallivant around Northwest WA. Here’s why:
Cheap: You won’t have to pay for transport and accommodation costs separately.
Convenient: There’s no need to return to your hotel as you can cruise to a nearby campsite once you’re done exploring for the day.
Flexible: Forget crafting complex travel itineraries. A motorhome lets you follow the whims of the road.
Sleep under the stars: Northwest WA has a multitude of mind-blowing campsites you can stay at overnight—it sure beats a stuffy hotel room.
Easy access: Everything you need is within arm’s reach, from fresh clothes to food.
When driving around Broome in a campervan rental, remember these helpful tips:
Savvy travellers can reduce their daily expenses even further with the following thrifty tips:
Book early: Broome is in hot demand during the high season (May-Sep). Book your vehicle early to snag the best possible rate.
Avoid school holidays: WA school holidays entail massive demand for rental companies and holiday parks, which causes prices to soar.
Compare rates: Camper Champ compares prices from multiple rental companies to help you find a great deal.
Downsize: A petite budget-friendly campervan or basic 4WD will save you big bucks on rental fees.
Look for extras: Ensure added extras like levelling ramps and camping chairs are included in your rental rate, so you don’t have to buy them separately.
Plan a realistic itinerary: WA is enormous. Focusing on a smaller region and avoiding backtracking will save you stacks of fuel.
Head back to Broome: Dropping your camper off at the pick-up point works out cheaper than travelling one way.
Plan your refills: The PetrolSpy app gives you up-to-date information on the cost of fuel at every service station in the state.
Self-cater: Stock up at large supermarkets in major towns and cook your own meals.
Free camp: Find free campsites in-between destinations (there are plenty of rest areas alongside highways).
Consider a national park pass: It might work out cheaper than paying individually at each park.
Explore outdoors: Minimise tours and ticketed attractions. Hiking and swimming don’t cost a dime.
Broome and the Kimberley have a hot/semi-arid tropical climate with a wet and dry season.
As you’ve probably guessed, the best time to visit is the dry season, which usually runs from May to October. Warm days, balmy evenings, and minimal rain ensure a pleasant campervan experience. The rest of the Kimberley has a similar climate, although some inland regions still get stifling hot during the day.
June to August are the best months when you can expect average daily temperatures of around 29°C / 14°C.
The wet season (Nov-Apr) sees few visitors in Broome, which means lower rental rates. However, you’ll have to contend with regular rainfall, lacklustre nightlife, and heightened humidity. The heaviest downpours occur between January to March. Avoid travelling across the Kimberley during the wet season, as even the paved highways may become inaccessible.
The climate becomes less tropical as you travel down the west coast. Nonetheless, the ideal travel season remains almost the same. Aim to explore hotspots like Ningaloo, Coral Bay, and Shark Bay between March and October, which entail sunny but not-too-hot days and comfortable nights.
If you’re keen to see Western Australia’s spectacular wildflowers, the peak blooming season runs between July and October. Cape Range National Park is your best bet to spot colourful floral fields in Northwest WA.
For travellers seeking to swim with whale sharks, late March to late July is the best time to visit Exmouth—May offers the most frequent sightings.
Allow two or three days to soak up the magic of Broome and check out the top sites in town.
About a month is the ideal timeframe for a comprehensive Kimberley itinerary. However, if you focus on the highlights and stick close to the highway, you could enjoy an epic outback adventure in one or two weeks. The same timeframe also works if you’re tackling the rugged Gibb River Road in a 4WD.
Exploring the western coastal route down to Shark Bay is doable in 10 to 14 days. Whittle down your itinerary or add extra time if you want to tack on a detour via Karijini National Park.
While you could explore further south than Shark Bay, you’d have to drive all the way back or pay a hefty one-way drop-off fee. For reference, Broome to Monkey Mia (Shark Bay) is an 18-hour one-way drive.
As Broome is a small and fairly spread out town, there’s no shortage of places to park. Best of all, parking is free everywhere in the city—you even get two hours free at the airport.
Some bays in the Chinatown district have time limits ranging from 15 minutes to 3 hours. Unrestricted parking bays lie scattered around the rest of the city. See the Shire of Broome parking map if you’re struggling to find a suitable spot.
The visitor centre has several large parking bays suitable for big motorhomes. Travellers are welcome to leave their rigs there all day.
Vehicle break-ins frequently occur in Broome, even during the day. Park your camper in more densely populated areas, and don’t leave it unattended for too long.
Some of the top-rated Broome holiday parks include Cable Beach Caravan Park, Tarangau Caravan Park, and RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park. When supply outstrips demand in peak season, overflow campgrounds pop up at the Seventh Day Adventist Church and Broome Pistol Club.
Expect to pay between $40 and $60 per night for a site or more if you want power or water hookups.
The Shire of Broome strictly prohibits free camping within city limits and allocates rangers to enforce its by-laws. What’s more, after-dark crime should be enough to deter you from parking overnight on a public street.
The closest rest area to the city is the Roebuck Rest Stop, a 30-minute drive away. However, rest areas are intended to manage fatigue rather than camp. Some budget travellers visit the free camp at Willie Creek (a 37-minute drive from Broome), although soft sand makes access tricky in a 2WD.
Whether you're a seasoned road-tripper or a first-time camper, our guide from Broome to Perth covers some of the most spectacular sights and experiences that Western Australia has to offer. From the towering cliffs of Cape Leveque to the pristine beaches of Ningaloo Reef, you'll discover a landscape that is both breathtakingly beautiful and wonderfully diverse.

That means learners and provisional license holders need not apply. Most Broome rental companies won’t do business with drivers under 21. Drivers under 25 can hire a camper but must pay an additional young driver surcharge. Overseas hirers will need an English translation of their home-country license or an International Driver’s Permit (IDP).
Not many companies in Australia allow customers to pick up and/or drop off a rental after hours.
Spaceships have an easy after-hours pickup and dropoff service.
The following companies also allow after-hours pickup or drop-off, but fees and additional terms may apply: Camperman, Mighty Campers, Awesome, Driveabout and Bargain Campers.

No, most companies will only allow their vehicles to be driven on sealed bitumen roads.
An exception is Bargain Campers, which allows their vehicles to be driven on unsealed (gravel) roads in Tasmania, as long as these roads are properly formed.
Rental companies may make an exception for well-maintained access roads to a recognized campsite. However, the distance allowed on these roads may vary (between 500 and 12 km). Check the rental agreement for details regarding the exact allowed distance.
Different rules may apply to 4WD campers.
Most rental companies have both automatic and manual vehicles available.
Our comparison tool allows you to filter by transmission type to help you find your preferred option.

Yes, it’s standard for most companies to allow an additional driver. This driver and any others must be named on the rental agreement, and there may be a nominal fee.
Additional drivers must also hold an appropriate driver’s licence and must meet driver age requirements.
When renting a vehicle, it is standard to be charged a bond (security deposit), also known as ‘excess’, which is the amount the renter is liable to cover in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle.
The bond amount fluctuates based on the insurance package selected at the time of rental and is charged and debited on the renters’ credit or debit card.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
