Cheap Campervan Hire Brisbane

Brisbane’s notorious peak hour traffic can quickly turn a pleasant drive into a frustrating crawl. To avoid the worst of the traffic, plan your trips around Brisbane outside of peak hours. This way, you can enjoy a stress-free journey in your campervan.

During rush hour, average speeds on roads in south-east Queensland are up to 43 kilometres per hour slower than the posted limit. Drivers continue to encounter gridlock at the conventional peak hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm, but the congestion lasts longer and happens at odd times.

Queensland’s toll roads are like a big, happy family. They’re all connected and they make getting around the greater Brisbane and Toowoomba areas a breeze. Plus, with an electronic tag account, you can easily pay for all your Queensland tolls in one go!

Whether you’re travelling on the AirportlinkM7, Clem7, Gateway Motorway, Go Between Bridge, Legacy Way, Logan Motorway, or Toowoomba Bypass, you don’t have to worry about having the right change.

The good news is that Travellers Autobarn handles all tolls for you. All our Brisbane campervans are registered with the toll companies and any toll charges will be automatically deducted of your credit card (plus a $3.30 service fee)

No matter where you’re coming from or how long you’ve been driving, satellite navigation or a global positioning system is an essential tool for getting around a strange city. This app ensures you will never get lost as you’ll have access to turn-by-turn directions, traffic updates in real-time, and even alternative routes if there’s congestion on your planned route.

Most smartphones come equipped with a mapping application that can do the same thing. Google Maps, which is compatible with both iOS and Android, is a free GPS program. After installing the app, all you have to do is punch in your coordinates and off you go. Alternatively you can hire from Travellers Autobarn a GPS or an Apple/Android Car Play Unit

Brisbane is the ideal starting point from which to explore Queensland. We recommend spending your first day in Brisbane exploring and staying the night.
