About campervan hire on Escape RV Rentals

Campervan hire is the default way Australians, New Zealanders, and Irish travellers explore coastlines, wine regions, and national parks — compact vans you can park in town centres yet sleep in comfortably. Fleet partners include JUCY, Britz, Apollo, and Mighty; most include basic insurance with optional reduction excess.

Campervan sizes and sleeping layouts

Hi-top campervans sleep 2–3 with standing room; larger 4-berth layouts add bench seats that convert to beds. Automatic transmission is standard in AU/NZ. One-way hire between Auckland and Queenstown (via ferry) is common — book early in summer.

Freedom camping and park fees

Australia and New Zealand have strict freedom-camping rules — many councils require self-contained certification. Our city guides link council maps and paid holiday parks so you are not fined on night one. Ireland and Iceland favour serviced campgrounds with hook-ups due to weather.
