Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reverse the route and travel from Darwin back to Broome?

Is after-hours campervan hire available?

Not many companies in Australia allow customers to pick up and/or drop off a hire after hours.

Spaceships has an easy after-hours pick-up and drop-off service.

The following companies also allow after-hours pick-up or drop-off, but fees and additional terms may apply: Camperman and Awesome.

Note that this service may not be available in all cities.

Can I take my campervan off-road?

No, most companies will only allow their vehicles to be driven on sealed bitumen roads.

An exception may apply where a supplier explicitly permits travel on unsealed (gravel) roads — check the hire agreement for your chosen supplier.

Hire companies may make an exception for well-maintained access roads to a recognised campsite. However, the distance allowed on these roads may vary (up to 12 km, depending on the supplier). Check the hire agreement for details on the exact allowed distance.

Different rules may apply to 4WD campers.

Do campervans have automatic or manual transmission?

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.

Note that not all makes and models will be available in both automatic and manual transmission types.

What kind of licence do you need to hire a campervan in Broome?

You’ll need a full, non-restricted car licence (Class C in WA) to hire a campervan or motorhome in Broome. That means learners can’t hire, and some suppliers also require an unrestricted/full licence (not provisional/probationary), check the supplier’s terms. Some Broome hire companies accept 18+, depending on the supplier and vehicle type. Drivers under 25 can hire a campervan but may need to pay an additional young driver surcharge, depending on the supplier. Overseas hirers with a non-English licence will need an English translation of their home-country licence or an International Driving Permit (IDP).
