Van hire for 21-25 year olds just got easier

Remember that feeling when you and your mates started planning the ultimate road trip? The group chat blowing up with ideas, the Spotify playlist growing by the hour, the routes you've mapped out a dozen times. And then reality hits – you're 21, maybe 23, and suddenly every campervan seems to have a "25+ only" stamped across it.

Your age shouldn't be what stands between you and those sunrise beach sessions, spontaneous detours down dirt roads, or waking up somewhere completely different every morning. While Camplify offers RV hire for people as young as 21, its common for some van owners to set the minimum hirer age at 25, leaving you scrolling through pages of unavailable options. We hear you, and we've got great news - you can actually filter your van search so you only see vans available for someone your age.

We're Australia's largest van sharing community, connecting adventurers like you with thousands of vans from local owners who get it. Whether you're finally taking that uni break road trip you've been dreaming about since first year, finding a way to do festivals properly without blowing your savings on overpriced accommodation, or just need to escape the everyday for a weekend – we've got vans under $100 a day that'll get you there.

Your mates are ready. The open road is waiting. You can make it happen.

Where will you go?

Chase the sun up the East Coast

Byron Bay. Noosa. The Whitsundays. String together the best beaches, hidden surf breaks, and coastal camping spots from Sydney to Cairns. Wake up to ocean views, cook brekkie on the beach, and move on whenever you feel like it. Split a van between mates and you're looking at one of the cheapest, and most epic road trips up the East Coast.

Find a van to hire in Sydney and start your East Coast adventure.

Festival season, sorted

Field Day. Laneway. Lost Paradise. Whatever's on your list, a campervan beats dodgy festival camping every single time. You've got your own space to recharge, somewhere secure for your stuff, and the freedom to come and go without relying on shuttles or rideshares. Plus, you can actually get a good night’s sleep (if you prefer that over partying all night). Split the cost with a mate, and it’s even better.

Go full backpacker mode

Travelling to Australia with a working holiday visa in hand? Six months to see as much of Australia as possible? A campervan is your ticket to doing it properly and seeing it all. Hit the Great Ocean Road, camp under the stars in the Outback, road trip through Tasmania, or chase the sun up north to Darwin. You've got transport and accommodation sorted in one, which means an affordable adventure and more money for the good stuff - experiences, not hotel rooms.

Adventure doesn't have to break the bank. Check out our guide on the best free camping in Australia and keep your cash for experiences that matter.

Mid-sem or uni break adventures

Exams done? Assignment submitted? Time to get out of your head and into nature. Grab a few mates, split the cost, and disappear for a long weekend. The Blue Mountains, the Grampians, national parks you've never heard of—wherever. Cook your own food, camp for cheap, and come back actually refreshed instead of more stressed about your bank balance.

Weekend escapes that don't break the bank

Not every trip needs to be three weeks long. Sometimes you just need to get away for a couple of days. Hiring a van means you can do it without blowing your budget on accommodation. Head to the coast, the mountains, wine country, wake up somewhere beautiful, and be back by Sunday arvo.

Your adventure starts now

Being under 25 shouldn't mean putting your travel dreams on hold. With hundreds of vans across Australia now easily accessible to younger hirers, there's never been a better time to hit the road. The only thing stopping you is getting your plans out of the group chat and into reality.
