Lamington National Park

Conveniently located around 90 minutes to the south of Brisbane, you'll discover the awe-inspiring wonder of Lamington National Park. This locale is essential for your adventure checklist. Lose yourself amidst the lush rainforests, ancient trees and panoramic views. Spend the day exploring the intricate web of walking tracks and pull your van up for the night in some amazing campgrounds.

Byron Bay

Venture just a few hours' drive to the south of Brisbane, and you'll find yourself in the beloved "hippie haven" of Byron Bay, surrounded by stunning beaches, plenty of water-centric activities, a vibrant culinary scene, and bustling markets. Plus, the laid-back vibe welcomes travellers of all types, so pull up your van in one of the many campgrounds and campervan parks.

Moreton Island

If you're up for a day (and night) of island adventures, take your rental van on a ferry ride to Moreton Island. This pristine island paradise offers endless opportunities for exploration. Load your van with snorkelling gear, kayaks, and even camping equipment if you plan to stay overnight (did you know your Turo host might be able to add these onto your booking as extras?). Discover the Tangalooma Wrecks, go sandboarding on the dunes, enjoy a beachside barbecue, and then spend a night or two in the campervan parks.

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.

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.

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.

Top tips for renting a van in Brisbane


Wondering what tips you need to know when hiring a van in Brissy? Brisbane's roads offer some fantastic opportunities for exploring, but it's essential to know the local road rules and conditions for a smooth journey.


Brisbane road rules and driving conditions:


Keep in mind that in Australia, you'll need to drive on the left side of the road. Speed limits vary, so be sure to check the posted signs, especially in residential areas and around schools.


Driving a van for the first time: 


If you're new to driving a van, don't fret; it's a breeze with these few tips. Firstly, parking can be a bit different, so keep an eye on the height of your vehicle when entering car parks or passing under bridges. When turning and manoeuvring, give yourself extra space to accommodate the van's size. If you're carrying heavy loads, distribute the weight evenly and secure your items to prevent shifting during transit. And remember, vans often have larger blind spots, so double-check your mirrors and use caution when changing lanes or merging onto highways.


Toll roads in Brisbane:


You may encounter toll roads while driving in Brisbane. The major toll roads to remember include the Gateway Motorway, Logan Motorway, Legacy Way, Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7), Airport Link M7, and Go Between Bridge. These roads can make your journey more convenient, but remember that they may have associated fees. Make sure to check the toll costs and payment options in advance to avoid any surprises.


Van parking in Brisbane


The city offers various parking options, but be aware of your van's height to avoid height-restricted areas. In popular spots like the CBD or South Bank, look for parking facilities that can accommodate larger vehicles. Planning ahead and knowing where to park safely will ensure a hassle-free experience during your Brisbane adventure.


Petrol stations and EV chargers in Brisbane:


Brisbane provides plenty of petrol stations to keep your van fuelled for your journey. Keep an eye out for petrol stations that can accommodate larger vehicles if you're driving a sizeable van. And if you're driving an electric van, you'll find EV charging points conveniently throughout the city.


Do I need to hire a van in Brisbane?


Whether you're moving, embarking on a family adventure, or planning a camping excursion, booking a van ensures you have the right vehicle for your needs. Plus, it allows you to explore Brisbane and its beautiful surroundings at your own pace.

We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
