No special licence is required for standard campervans and motorhomes (typically under 4.5 tonnes). A valid full driver’s licence from your home country is fine if it’s in English; if not, carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official translation.

 Australia and New Zealand can be pricey; however, a campervan makes it easy to manage your budget. You’re combining transport, bed and kitchen in one, so with a little planning it can be very affordable.

​

Top tips:

• Book early. Prices rise with demand, especially in summer and school holidays.

• Travel in the shoulder season for better rates and fewer crowds.

• Share the van. Splitting costs between two or more travellers is often cheaper than public transport plus nightly accommodation.

• Pick the right size. Smaller vans usually cost less to hire and to run.

• Cook on board. Most vans have a kitchenette, so self-catering saves money.
   

Plan your route. Shorter hops mean less fuel and more time to explore.
