Why Sydney is the Best Place in Australia to Hire a Campervan
by Tim Ahern
When thinking of hiring a campervan in Australia you have to consider Sydney as the best place to do it. You might wonder why this is the case and I'm going to explain it to you.
To start with, having over 5 million people, Sydney is the Australia's largest city. With such a population, there is a great supply of all things and campervan hire companies are amongst them. Sydney is also the most centrally located of all the capital cities being around 1000km from both Brisbane and Melbourne, 1400km from Adelaide and only 290km from Canberra - the nation's capital city. No other city in Australia can boast this kind of proximity to all the other great cities in such short distance.
Sydney is also the main transit port in Australia. Sydney airport is the nations busiest and the 31st busiest in the world. Chances are that if you fly in or out of this island continent, then you will pass through Sydney. That being the case you will also see that you can catch virtually any form of public transport from here to any other part of the country.
With the plethora of transport choices that such a large city offers, why would you want to hire a campervan when there are so many other options? Well, the answer lies in the public transport options outside of Sydney and the ease and control that a campervan can give you. Once you get out of the major cities public transport options become fairly limited by world standards. This is brought on by the massive size of the country, the small population for that size and wealth of the nation that allows most people to own their own car, hence not needing public transport. Once you get out of the major cities, and in particular if you want to get off the national highway, then getting public transport becomes quite painful.
Another reason you might consider a campervan is that there are a great many things to do on the outskirts of Sydney. Down south there is Cronulla and its glorious beaches and surf, and further south the Royal National Park. To the west is the Blue Mountains and to the north is the central coast and the famous Hunter Valley. All of these are quicker to reach in your own vehicle and you can stay at any one of them overnight in the camper you arrived in
Not everyone enjoys staying in a campervan though, but having one available will definitely expand that options of the places you can visit in Australia. By far, the city with the most campervan hire options is Sydney. There are over 30 different companies to choose from there, hence making it also the city with the best deals and greatest variety of styles. (Kombi anyone?) It is good to be armed with this information as you do your research. You will find plenty of price comparison and booking websites that will only show results for the 5 top companies for the dates you want. Some will also show around 10 companies. You want to keep your eye out for sites that list at least 20 different companies in the results before you commit to anything or you will likely be paying too much.
