Campervan hire in Sydney

Picking up in Sydney

The Sydney depot sits south of the city in Caringbah, in the Sutherland Shire, which puts the Royal National Park and the coast road south within easy reach of a first night. It is the natural start for a run up the east coast or a loop back through the Blue Mountains.

Caringbah is on the T4 train line and a straightforward drive from Sydney Airport via the M1 and Captain Cook Drive. Collect in the morning and you are clear of the suburban traffic before the day gets going.

Collection happens during the hours listed here, with a walk-around of the vehicle before you drive out so you know where the cooker, water and bedding are. If your flight lands late in the day, say so when you book rather than arriving after the desk closes. After hours collection may be available on request, but it has to be arranged in advance.

What to do first from Sydney

The first night usually decides the shape of a trip: too far and you are driving tired, too close and you have spent a day going nowhere. These are the directions worth considering straight out of Caringbah.

• Royal National Park and the coast track south of Cronulla
• The Blue Mountains via the Great Western Highway
• Hunter Valley and the Central Coast on the run north

Driving out of Sydney

Fuel and food are the two things to sort before you leave town. Fill the tank at the last major town on your route rather than assuming the next one is close, and carry more water than you think you need if the drive heads inland. Mobile coverage thins quickly once you are outside the suburbs.

The depot's own page on the booking site carries the map and the operator's current terms: see campervan hire in Sydney.
