Campervan Hire Perth Australia
Compare campervans, motorhomes and RVs to hire in Perth, listed by private owners and local hire businesses. See prices, photos and reviews for campervan hire in Australia, then book online with insurance included.
Perth splits two ways for a campervan trip: north up the Coral Coast toward Exmouth, or south into Margaret River’s wine and surf country. The main Australia guide covers the northern route in detail — this page focuses on the southern option and the practicalities of picking up in Perth.
For cost, licence rules and vehicle sizes, see the main Australia guide — everything there applies here too. See the Western Australia overview for the wider region.
Perth Campervan, Motorhome and RV Hire
Owners list a mix of compact 2-berth campervans, mid-size camper vans and larger motorhomes with their own toilet and shower, and you book whichever vehicle suits your trip through our partner Outdoorsy.
What’s around Perth
The Pinnacles, around 2 hours north in Nambung National Park, are thousands of limestone pillars rising from yellow sand — best at sunrise or sunset before the tour buses arrive. The access road is unsealed but fine for a standard 2WD campervan in dry conditions. See the Perth to Exmouth route on the main guide for the full northern trip.
Margaret River, about 3 hours south, is WA’s best-known wine region — vineyards, surf breaks at places like Yallingup and Prevelly, and the Ngilgi and Jewel Cave systems. It’s a genuinely different trip from the Coral Coast: greener, cooler, and built around wineries and beaches rather than desert and reef.
Rottnest Island, a short ferry from Fremantle, isn’t a campervan destination itself (no vehicles allowed) but is an easy day trip to slot in either side of a longer road trip.
Where to stay overnight around Perth
- Pinnacles / Coral Coast — Cervantes Pinnacles Caravan Park sits in town, walking distance to the water; Jurien Bay Tourist Park is a quieter alternative slightly further north.
- Margaret River — RAC Margaret River Nature Park sits inside Wooditjup National Park; Prevelly Caravan Park and Hamelin Bay Holiday Park both put you closer to the surf breaks and beaches.
Book ahead for both regions over WA school holidays — Margaret River in particular fills up around wine-festival weekends.
Best time to visit
Margaret River is mild for most of the year, unlike the Coral Coast route which the main guide puts at April–October. October to April suits Margaret River best — warmer days for the beaches, without the sometimes-wet winter months (June–August) that bring the best surf but the most rain.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Perth?
The same nightly ranges apply as the rest of Australia — see the Campervan Hire Australia cost breakdown.
Should I go north to the Pinnacles or south to Margaret River?
Depends on the trip. North suits desert, reef and a longer outback-style route through to Exmouth. South suits wine, surf and rainforest on a shorter, easier drive. Both are doable as a standalone 3–5 day trip from Perth.
Is the Pinnacles access road OK for a standard campervan?
Yes — it’s unsealed but well-maintained and fine for a 2WD in normal dry conditions. Check current conditions after heavy rain.
Do I need a bigger van for Margaret River?
Not necessarily — a small 2-berth suits wineries and beach stops well, since you’re not covering long outback distances and parking is easier in a compact van.
Can I take a campervan to Rottnest Island?
No — Rottnest doesn’t allow visitor vehicles. Leave the van parked in Fremantle and take the passenger ferry across for the day.
Is a campervan the same as a motorhome or RV?
Yes — this site uses the terms interchangeably. A campervan is usually the smaller van-based vehicle, a motorhome the larger coach-built type with a separate cab, and RV (recreational vehicle) is the term used in American brochures. Searching for motorhome hire or RV rental in Perth will find the same listings as campervan hire.
