“Great van to rent — comfortable, and drove really well. It was very responsive on the road and had useful features like a phone holder, Bluetooth connection, and a reverse camera which made the trip much easier and more convenient. Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience. Would definitely rent again!”
Excellent van, really loved it and it was easy to collect and drop off. Arrik was super accommodating. Would definitely rent again.
Jimmy is a great host, communication was on point! Van was clean, easy to drive and I had no problems. They dropped off the van earlier than the drop off time which was great, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I will definitely rent from Jimmy again, especially this van!
Great experience renting the iLoad. The van was clean, reliable, and drove really well. Weverton was friendly, easy to deal with, and made the whole process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend.

Amazing van super spacious very welcoming and fast and easy, will definitely rent again
Van ran well, hosts were easy to deal with, pick up and return at airport garage was pretty straightforward, good alternative to major car rental companies.
Great van, and very easy process by host. Will definitely rent again in the future
Although it was our first time using this app to rent a car for a trip and we weren’t very familiar with some of the procedures, our Australia trip still ended very smoothly and safely. The owner was also very friendly and responded to messages promptly. Definitely recommended.
Everything was great and the van fit our needs perfectly for our trip. Thank you, Gregory!
The van was in great shape. Ed was a very friendly and helpful host. I'd rent from Ed again.
Best place to rent a van, if I ever need to rent a vehicle definitely going here. Highly recommend, they are flexible and will work with you.
Had a great experience renting this Hiace van. Collection and return process was smooth and hassle-free. The van was reliable, clean, and had relatively low mileage, which made the drive comfortable. There were a few old scratches and dents, so I’d recommend taking photos before driving off just for reference, but everything was straightforward and as expected. Overall, a very good rental experience.
Amazing van in pristine condition. Drove like a dream. Comfortable fit our family of 8 with a baby cat seat, stroller, and lots of luggage. We’d definitely rent again!
Very Convenient van for group trips, comfortable to drive and was a breeze to deal with the host.
The Van was great, held as much people i needed to tour the family & friends. Lots of space at the back storage for luggages. The 2 issue i have was the suspension squeaking at the rear of the Van and AC filter at the front might need to change. Overall it was a great rental for 2 days.

Frequently asked questions in Cleveland
Why rent a van in Cleveland for group adventures?
Cleveland offers excellent access to Brisbane's attractions and Queensland's scenic coastline, making van rental ideal for larger groups exploring the region. Vans provide ample space for passengers and luggage when visiting Brisbane airport or travelling along Cleveland road to discover local destinations. The extra seating capacity and storage make group adventures more comfortable and cost-effective compared to multiple smaller vehicles.
What should you expect when driving a van around Queensland?
Queensland's roads accommodate vans well, with plenty of petrol stations along major routes and ample parking at most tourist destinations. Van hire in Brisbane and surrounding areas like Cleveland provides access to both urban attractions and coastal adventures. Expect wider turning circles and increased height clearance requirements when navigating car parks and drive-throughs throughout the state.
How do you park a van in Cleveland's busy areas?
Cleveland's main shopping and dining areas offer designated parking spaces that accommodate larger vehicles like vans. Look for end spaces in car parks which provide easier access and reduce the risk of door dings. Many locations near Cleveland road and Brisbane airport feature van-friendly parking with clear height restrictions posted at entrances.
Which vans work best for families versus large groups?
Families typically benefit from Toyota or Hyundai van models that offer comfortable seating for up to eight passengers with good fuel efficiency for Brisbane area travel. Large groups may prefer cargo van options that maximise passenger space and luggage capacity for extended Queensland adventures. Consider the number of seats needed versus storage requirements when selecting your hired van vehicle.
What comfort tips help during long van journeys?
Ensure all passengers have adequate legroom and access to climate controls, especially important during Queensland's warm weather. Plan regular stops at petrol stations or rest areas to stretch and rotate seating positions among passengers. Pack entertainment options and snacks in easily accessible locations within the van's generous storage compartments.
How do you use van safety features properly?
Modern vans include multiple airbags, stability control systems, and reversing cameras that require proper understanding before departure from your Brisbane location. Adjust mirrors and seating positions to account for the van's larger dimensions compared to standard van hire vehicles. Familiarise yourself with blind spot monitoring systems and parking sensors that assist with manoeuvring in tight Cleveland area car parks.

All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*
Do I need my own insurance?

Is there unlimited kilometre car rental on Turo?

On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometres you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.
* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan. Review the Guest Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
