Hire a van with Camplify and find the freedom to explore

Think you need to buy a van to embrace van life? Not anymore.

Families can now try everything from compact campervans to mega motorhomes without the big outlay, storage hassles or maintenance, thanks to Camplify.

Here’s the thing about van life – a lot of families assume you need to buy before you try. That you need to drop big bucks on a van, work out where to store it and are then locked into one van, one size and one style forever. But what if your family changes? What if that compact van perfect for three becomes a squeeze when baby number two arrives? What if you fall in love with caravanning and want to try something bigger, or smaller, or totally different?

But what if you could try a cosy campervan one weekend and a six-berth motorhome the next, without buying or finding somewhere to store it? Enter Camplify, Australia’s leading RV sharing marketplace. From budget vans to luxury motorhomes, Camplify connects families with over 14,000 vehicles nationwide so you get all the gear without the commitment and the freedom to swap styles every holiday until you find one that clicks.

Small van, big plans

Self-contained and easy to drive, campervans are ideal for families that are dipping their toes into RV travel. They’re compact enough to navigate tight holiday town streets, yet still offer sleeping space, a basic kitchen and sometimes a small bathroom. The learning curve is gentle, and you won’t need a separate vehicle for towing. Listings on Camplify start from around $65 per day, so for first-timers or those on a budget, it’s an easy and economical solution.

Going large

When you need more room for the family with separate sleeping areas, bunks for the kids and a spot for the dog, plus a full kitchen and a shower big enough to turn around in, upgrade to a motorhome. On Camplify, motorhomes range from basic, budget-friendly layouts to deluxe models with slide-outs, entertainment systems and loads of storage for extended family travel. If your family is the type that thrives on remote beaches and bush camps, Camplify even has off-grid RVs complete with solar panels, extra water tanks and rugged suspension that open up a different kind of freedom. And as many owners are experienced travellers, hiring often comes with handy tips to make driving less daunting, as well as campsite recommendations that will make your first big trip even more fun.

Van life made easy

Caravans are ideal if you want a proper home base at the campsite. They’re easy to tow at your own pace and are usually fully self-contained, giving you the freedom to explore without leaving anything behind. With everything from cosy teardrop trailers to sprawling family vans with triple bunks, annexes and outdoor kitchens, Camplify has every size caravan imaginable on offer. And, if towing or reversing a large caravan makes you apprehensive, you don’t have to do it. Through Camplify, many owners will deliver the caravan straight to your chosen caravan park and set it up for you, awning out and everything ready, so you can just turn up, unpack the esky and pour a cuppa. No towing, reversing or white-knuckle moments at roundabouts required. They’ll even come back and tow it home too! And if the thought of emptying the cassette toilet gives you the ick? You can pay the cleaning fee and skip that bit entirely.

Share the adventure

The beauty of the sharing economy is that it removes the biggest barrier to trying something new… commitment. Whether vanlife becomes your family’s newest obsession or just a pleasant way to spend a long weekend, Camplify lets you test the waters without diving in headfirst. And in a country as vast and varied as Australia, that freedom might just be the key to unlocking your next great family adventure.
