Campervan Hire Company Alternatives to Britz

Campervan Hire Company Alternatives to Britz

by Tim Ahern

If you are thinking about taking a vacation in Australia and renting a campervan or motorhome, then chances are you will come across the company, Britz, in your research. But maybe before you go ahead and hire from them, you should have a quick look at some of the alternatives that don't have the marketing muscle to get your attention. After all there are over 60 other companies vying for you campervan dollar. Read on to find out about some competition to Britz.

Undoubtedly, <strong>Britz</strong> is the leading player in the Australian market. Not only do they have the powerful "Britz" brand, but also some of Australia's other famous brands like <strong>Kea Campers, Maui Campervans and Mighty Campers</strong>. Probably the biggest competitor to these is <strong>Apollo Campervans.</strong> The largest privately owned chain in Australia, it consists of multiple brands: Apollo, <strong>Cheapa Campa</strong> and <strong>Hippy Campers</strong>. These 2 companies alone combine to have the 7 largest and best known brands across Australia (and New Zealand).

If searching for a campervan rental in the budget price range, you are going to find <strong>Hippy Campers</strong> and <strong>Mighty Campers</strong>, however you are also going to come across <strong>Wicked Campers</strong>. Wicked are a key player in the budget market but make little impact on the other market segments, so if looking for a mid-range or luxury style, don't bother with Wicked. Wicked have a reputation for being unruly and unreliable. They, as a company, are known bend rules and ethics and also have a reputation for under-servicing their vehicles. However, they are also dead cheap and the vehicles work often enough that they have expanded their fleet across the world in to many, many countries. They are a business model success story. However, if the stories you hear <strong>are</strong> true and you are looking for a budget alternative, then try looking in to <strong>Awesome Campers</strong> or <strong>Travellers Autobarn</strong>. Awesome Campers has had rapid expansion in the last couple of years so must be doing things to keep people coming back and Travellers Autobarn has been winning awards for some years now. Put them on your list to research for prices.

But it is really the mid to upper price range where Britz is king of the campervans. So who else is worth taking a look at in this market range? Well, if, for now, we are looking an alternatives to the Apollo family as well, there are still plenty to choose from. One worth mentioning in the luxury range is <strong>Around Australia Motorhomes</strong>. This crowd doesn't skimp when it comes to vehicle quality with all their vehicles being top of the line Winnebago's to satisfy the traveller that wants everything. If you are in the luxury motorhome market for you next trip, then definitely look in to getting a price of these guys. They are family owned and large enough to have plenty of options, but small enough to care.

Another mid-range company worth mentioning is <strong>Energi Motorhomes</strong>. This company has been creeping up in reputation for some time. They don't seem to have a massive marketing machine so don't seem to come up regularly in Google searches (unless you are specifically looking for them), but they are worth the effort to look in to. Alternatively, if you are looking around at web sites that give booking results for multiple companies, then keep searching until you find a site that includes a price for Energi in the results. Until you include these guys in your search results you are not looking at the best field of options.

And one additional company to mention is <strong>Camperman Campervans</strong>. Camperman has been growing rapidly over the last couple of years, modernizing their fleet with the latest Toyota Hiace's which is the same model that all the major players use. Keep in mind, therefore, that you can get pretty much the same vehicle as the major players for a lesser price. It is something that should pique an interest when researching your campervan hire. They also have depots at all the major points along the east coast of Australia, so there is plenty of choice on where to pick up and where to drop off - just like <strong>Britz</strong>. All in all, they offer a strong alternative in the mid-priced campervan hire market, and should definitely be considered when doing price and style research.

So, if you are researching campervan, motorhome or RV hire in Australia, then there are definitely some alternatives to look at other than <strong>Britz</strong> and the other major players. Only a handful have been discussed here but, for example, if hiring a campervan from Sydney, you will find that there are at least 30 different campervan companies to choose from. So make sure when you are researching who to choose from, that you find a website that compares prices on at least 20 of these. There are plenty of sites out there that will only show you the 7 major companies. Don't sell yourself short and be limited to these. There are plenty of alternatives to <strong>Britz Campervans</strong> in Australia.
