Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start my journey in Gold Coast and travel one-way to Sydney?
Yes, you can start your journey in Gold Coast and travel one-way to Sydney. Use the comparison tool to find availability and fees.
Where can I park overnight in Sydney?
It’s recommended you stay in a holiday park or designated campsite. Overnight camping/sleeping in vehicles in Sydney and other metropolitan areas is often restricted by local rules and signage, so check local conditions and use designated camping areas. Most caravan parks are located away from the city centre.
Some popular campsites include: NRMA Lakeside Holiday Park, Cattai National Park Campground and Patonga Camping Ground.
If you wish to explore Sydney CBD and other city attractions like Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach or the Opera House, plan ahead. It's best to avoid peak-hour traffic and to plan where to park in advance, especially if you're in a large motorhome.
Can I pick up a campervan rental around the Northern Beaches?
Currently, all the major motorhome rental brands have their Sydney branch close to Sydney Airport, on the southside.
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.
Are one-way campervan rentals available?
