Avoid all the hassle of owning a camper and enjoy all the fun of camping with Camper Trailer Hire Perth! I don’t know about you but as a mid lifer I am all for the adventure but I’m at a stage where I don’t want stuff! So hiring a camper over buying one makes perfect sense to me. No having it sit in your driveway taking up room, with insurance and registration costs and hassles with maintenance. Simply book your favourite camper trailer when you need it and return it when you are done. However if you do really feel like you want to buy your very own camper, hiring a camper can also be a great way to try it out before making the full investment into your own,

What should I consider when choosing a camper trailer to hire?
Camper Trailer Size
You’ve chosen a camper trailer for your next camping trip because you want comfort. The more people (and pets) you have the more space you’ll need for everyone to be comfortable. If you are on your own or going as a couple a smaller compact camper may be enough, but if there are more you may need to consider a larger camper trailer. Plus if it’s a short trip a smaller camper may be ok, but if you are going for weeks or more you may want the space a larger camper offers.
Off Road Capability
If you are not planning to go off road then a standard on road camper will do. However if you plan to hit the beaten track and do some off roading, you’ll need to hire a camper trailer with 4WD capabilities.
Towing Capacity of Your Vehicle
Be sure to check the towing capacity of your vehicle before booking and picking up your camper trailer. The last thing you want is a camper trailer that’s too heavy for your vehicle towing capacity right before you are about to set off on your dream camping trip! Light Off Road Campers can be available to hire, that can be towed by a smaller 4WD or AWD.
Features You Want
Consider what features you may like. Loads of storage room. LED lights, water tanks, portable toilet, optional attachable rooms etc. When you are hiring a camper trailer you have the luxury of looking around to find one with features you want.
How Long It Takes To Set Up
When it comes to camper trailers sometimes fancier can mean it takes longer to set up. If you plan to arrive at your camping destination late, you may need something that is quick and easy to set up. Camper trailers with hard floors tend to take less time to set up.
How Much You Want To Spend
Camper trailer hire Perth starts from around $70 per day for a soft floor 4WD camper. Most camper trailer hire company’s may have a minimum rental period, especially during peak seasons and school holidays. You can potentially save money by hiring at off peak times of the year. Depending on how far you have to drive to get to your destination you may also want to consider paying a little extra for unlimited kilometres to avoid any additional costs if you go over your allocated kilometres.
