Is It Better to Rent or Buy a Campervan for Travelling Around Australia?
Buying a campervan is often a more economical option if you’re travelling around Australia for several months.
Instead of paying expensive daily rental fees, you own the vehicle and can usually sell it at the end of your trip, helping you recover a large proportion of your travel costs.

What’s the Best Way to Sell My Campervan Before You Fly Home?
As your Australian adventure comes to an end, it’s time to start thinking about selling your campervan.
A little planning before you return to Sydney can make the whole process much easier.
Start Advertising Your Campervan 4–6 Weeks Before You Return to Sydney
Start advertising your campervan for free on Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree around four to six weeks before you return to Sydney.
This gives potential buyers plenty of time to see your advert and start chatting before you return to Sydney.
If you’re lucky, some of those online conversations could turn into three or four test drives before you arrive back in Sydney.
Return to Sydney at Least Seven Days Before Your Flight Home
This gives you enough time to arrange viewings, negotiate with buyers and complete the sale before your flight home.
