Popular Attractions Along the Way

National Gallery of Victoria

Australia’s oldest and most visited art museum has its roots in the booming Victorian gold rush of the early 1850s. As Melbourne became the richest colony at the time, locals began a movement in the late 1850s to establish a public art gallery.

Officially opened in 1861, today’s National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is housed within two buildings, a short walk apart, and boasts over 70,000 works, including European and international paintings, Asian and Pacific art, Mesoamerican art, and Greek and Egyptian artefacts.

Sydney Harbour Cruise

A view of the famous Opera House, iconic Harbour Bridge, and majestic Sydney skyline is often the highlight of a stay in Sydney, and seeing the unique perspective from the water truly shows off the city’s charm. Several long-time cruise operators offer sailings of varying lengths: short narrated sightseeing trips, brunch and dinner cruises, and whale watching excursions.

Southbank

A former industrial area, half a mile south of the CBD, trendy Southbank was transformed through urban renewal in the 1990s to become a collection of high-rise residential towers and offices. Today, the district serves as the city’s main business centre, as well as a shopping and entertainment destination.

Included within is the Melbourne Arts Centre (formerly the Victoria Arts Centre), a complex of performing arts venues, much of which is built underground. Southbank is also home to the 297-metre Eureka Tower, which was Melbourne’s tallest building until Australia 108 (316.7 metres) topped out.

Its 285-metre observation deck on the 88th floor (Melbourne Skydeck) is promoted as the highest public observation deck in a building in the Southern Hemisphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any one-way rental fees?

Campervan rental companies may charge a one-way rental fee. If there is such a fee we will include it in the rental price listed in our comparison tool.

Can I travel in the opposite direction - from Sydney to Melbourne?

Yes - simply use the search tool at the top of this page to check availability.

Where can I park overnight in Melbourne?

It’s recommended you stay in a holiday park, caravan park or designated campsite. Free camping is only allowed in designated areas, and overnight parking is generally prohibited. Most caravan parks are located just a short drive away from the city centre.

Some popular sites include: Discovery Parks Melbourne, Five Ways Caravan Park and the BIG4 Melbourne Holiday Park.

If you wish to explore the city centre, it's best to avoid peak traffic hours and to plan where to park ahead of time, especially if you're in a large motorhome.

To kick off your motorhome holiday, you may also want to plan a road trip close to Melbourne and explore the Mornington Peninsula, Bells Beach and Dandenong National Park or experience rural Victoria, the Yarra Valley and Yarra River.

Do I have to pay a bond (security deposit) when renting my vehicle?

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.

Can I rent a campervan if I’m under 21 years old?

Most campervan rental companies in Australia require the driver to be 21 years of age or older to rent from their full range of vehicles.

Some companies will rent to drivers between 18 and 21, but only certain models may be available. A couple of companies have higher age requirements: 23 (Leisure Rent) and 24 (Captain Billy’s). Enter the driver’s age into our search tool and we will filter available vehicles to match.

For young drivers, additional insurance may be required and special conditions may apply.
