If youâve ever planned a road trip in Australia, youâve probably defaulted to hotels at some point. Theyâre familiar. Easy. Predictable.
The problem is, Australia isnât predictable â and thatâs exactly why campervan hire usually works better.
The real cost
Hotels look cheaper until you add everything else. A room, a hire car, parking, eating out every meal â it stacks up quickly. A campervan rolls accommodation and transport into one, and being able to cook even some of your meals makes a noticeable difference over a week or two.
Freedom matters more than people think
Hotels lock you into places and schedules. Check-in times, check-out times, and a fixed location whether you like it or not. With a campervan, you stay because you want to, not because youâve paid for the night.
That flexibility changes how you travel. You stop less for photos and more because you feel like it.
Comfort, just different
A lot of people assume campervans are uncomfortable. Theyâre not â theyâre just designed differently. Pick My Camper vans are set up for long drives, proper sleep, and simple living. Youâre trading room service for waking up somewhere worth being.

The experience is the point
Hotels separate you from the place youâre visiting. Campervans donât. Youâre closer to the coast, the bush, the silence. Some of the best places in Australia donât even have hotels â and when they do, theyâre overpriced.
Thatâs where campervan travel makes sense.
So which oneâs better?
If youâre staying in one city, hotels are fine. If youâre actually travelling â moving, exploring, and taking your time â campervan hire wins easily.
