Geelong, Australia. Aerial view of city coastline from drone.

Hiring a campervan for your Geelong adventure couldn’t be easier. Our Melbourne pick-up location is just 10 minutes from Melbourne Airport, making it super convenient for travellers flying in. From there, you’re only about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Geelong, so you can get behind the wheel and start your trip without delay.

The process is simple. Just browse our range of campervans online, choose the size and features that suit your trip, and book in just a few clicks. On the day of collection, all you need to do is show your licence, complete the paperwork, and you’ll be ready to go.

We also make sure everything’s set up for a smooth journey, with unlimited kilometres, 24/7 roadside assistance, and flexible hire options. That way, you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the coastal views.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Campervan Near Geelong?

There are a few things that affect the cost of renting a campervan, including the type of vehicle you choose, how long you need it for, and current demand.

Melbourne’s low season is between May to September – it’s a good time for lower rates compared to October to April! Discounts are automatically applied the longer you hire a campervan – if you rent a campervan out of Melbourne for over 14 days, over 35 days or over 75 days, you will find a much cheaper rate than renting a campervan for just 10 days. Campervan wise you will find that our Station Wagon, Budgie Van or Budget Camper are more on the cheaper side while our Chubby Camper, Kuga & Hi5 Campervan will cost a little bit more (as they are newer).

Why Hiring a Campervan from Melbourne to Geelong is a Great Hire – Expert Advice

“Being so close to Geelong, hiring a campervan in Melbourne puts you behind the wheel of a choose-your-own-Victoria adventure straight away. Hit the (mechanical) surf at Urbnsurf for a warm up session before cruising down the M1 to Geelong. From here, you’ve got the beaches of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove to settle into, or make use of those unlimited kilometres and continue along the Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road.” – Bastian Graf, Global Sales & Marketing Manager, Travellers Autobarn

6 Must See Destinations on Your Melbourne to Geelong Drive

Great Ocean Road

No road trip from Geelong is complete without cruising the legendary Great Ocean Road. Just half an hour away, this popular coastal route takes you through surf towns like Torquay and Lorne, past rugged cliffs, and toward the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Travelling by campervan gives you the freedom to stop at hidden beaches, watch surfers at Bells Beach, and spend the night overlooking the Southern Ocean – the ultimate Australian adventure.

The Bellarina Peninsula

A short drive from Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula blends coastal charm with local flavour. You’ll find calm beaches, boutique wineries, and the Bellarine Taste Trail, showcasing local seafood and farm produce. Wander through Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale, or take the ferry across to Melbourne for a day trip – all with your campervan parked close by in one of the region’s scenic holiday parks.

Great Otway National Park

Heading inland from the coast, the Otway Ranges offer a change of scenery with lush rainforests, towering trees, and spectacular waterfalls. Great Otway National Park is a must for nature lovers, with highlights like Hopetoun Falls, the Otway Fly Treetop Walk and some of Australia’s best mountain biking. Travelling by campervan means you can sleep beneath the forest canopy, wake to the sound of native birds, and explore at your own pace.

The Surf Coast

Just 40 minutes from Geelong, the Surf Coast is made for outdoor enthusiasts. You can surf, swim, hike the Surf Coast Walk, or simply pull up your campervan at a beachfront campground and watch the sun sink into the ocean. Sink into the relaxed pace of Torquay, Lorne or Anglesea, paddleboard in the Anglesea River, or visit the local golf club where kangaroos graze freely on the fairways.

Grampians National Park

If you’re ready for a longer adventure, head northwest to Grampians National Park. This region is known for its dramatic sandstone peaks, rock art, and cascading waterfalls. Set up camp near Halls Gap and spend your days hiking to lookouts like The Pinnacle or relaxing by MacKenzie Falls. The Grampians offer a fantastic inland detour for anyone hiring a campervan near Geelong and wanting to see more of Victoria’s diverse landscapes.

Ballarat and the Goldfields

On your way back from the Grampians or as a stand-alone stop, Ballarat offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s gold rush era. Explore the living history at Sovereign Hill, stroll through the heritage streets, and enjoy hearty meals at one of the city’s many breweries or cafes. With great camping options nearby, Ballarat is a fitting end to your Geelong road trip with a blend of history, comfort, and that signature Victorian charm.

Why should I pick up a campervan in Melbourne instead of directly in Geelong?

Families will appreciate the pool, jumping pillow and riverfront position of Tasman Holiday Parks – Geelong while things are taken up an extra notch at Barwon River Holiday Park with its pedal go karts and dinosaur garden. Discovery Parks – Geelong is another great camping option alongside Barwon Valley Park.

Where is the best grocery store for me to stock up on groceries after picking up my camper in Melbourne?

We advise you to wait until you’ve picked up your camping van before going grocery shopping. Thus, you will know exactly how much space is available in the refrigerator and pantry.

Once you have your camper, we recommend heading to Westfield Airport West, 29/35 Louis St, Airport West, where Aldi, Woolworths and Coles are all located. This shopping centre is only a 7-minute drive away from our Melbourne branch, making it the perfect place to stock up on supplies.
