For more than 35 years, Britz has been Australia's specialist in self-drive adventure, with a modern fleet spanning compact two-berth campervans to six-berth motorhomes and purpose-built four-wheel drives. Part of Tourism Holdings Limited, it operates from ten depots nationwide, from Sydney and Melbourne to Darwin, Broome and Alice Springs, putting the entire continent within reach. Every rental comes ready for the road with unlimited kilometres on 2WD vehicles, bedding, a full kitchen kit and 24/7 roadside assistance.
Britz is one of Australia's most recognisable campervan, motorhome and 4WD rental brands, with more than 35 years of operating heritage and roots dating back to the 1980s. Today it forms a core rental division of Tourism Holdings Limited (THL), the NZX-listed New Zealand tourism group that acquired the existing Britz Motorhomes business in 1999 as its entry into the Australia and New Zealand rental market. Within THL's portfolio, Britz sits as the mid-market adventure brand, positioned between premium Maui and budget Mighty Campers, with vehicles cascading down through the tiers as they age. THL's scale grew dramatically after its merger with Apollo Tourism & Leisure, completed in late November 2022, making it the world's largest commercial RV rental operator across Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe. Britz remains a flagship Australian brand within that group, easily identified by its distinctive orange branding.
Britz offers a broad fleet spanning compact campervans, full motorhomes and purpose-built 4WDs, with vehicles kept modern (typically from new to around two years old before being retired to sister brand Mighty Campers). The 2WD campervan range includes the 2-berth HiTop, the 2-berth Trailblazer (the only compact 2-berth Britz campervan with both an onboard shower and toilet), and the 4-berth pop-top Voyager, with larger 6-berth motorhomes such as the Frontier and Vista (ideal for four adults and two children) offering full kitchens and bathrooms. As Australia's self-styled 4WD hire specialist, Britz also builds off-road campers like the 2-berth Maverick, 4-berth Warrior and 5-berth Safari for remote outback tracks. Every rental comes well equipped, including bedding and linen, a full kitchen kit, a fridge and gas cooker, 24/7 roadside assistance, unlimited kilometres on 2WD vehicles (300km/day on 4WDs), and air-conditioning in the cab, with living-area climate control on the larger self-contained models.
Britz operates a national network of 10 depots across Australia, located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome and Hobart, giving travellers wide flexibility for pick-ups, drop-offs and one-way rentals between branches. The 4WD range is available from most but not all depots, supporting outback journeys along iconic routes such as the Gibb River Road and Cape York (subject to written permission). Britz is widely regarded as a benchmark brand in the Australian market, and together with sister brand Apollo, THL operates leading brands across Australia's campervan rental sector. The brand targets families, couples, grey nomads, backpackers and serious 4WD adventurers, and was the first campervan hire company to achieve Eco accreditation through Ecotourism Australia. With ongoing 2026 promotions, a Qantas Points partnership and a continually refreshed fleet, Britz remains an active and prominent fixture in Australia's self-drive tourism market.

Britz runs one of Australia's largest depot networks, with pickup locations in every mainland capital plus key regional and outback hubs, so you can collect your campervan, motorhome or 4WD close to where your adventure begins. As part of the Tourism Holdings (THL) group, Britz shares this nationwide footprint with sister brands Maui and Mighty, giving you a depot near most major airports and gateway cities. Remote desert and Kimberley hubs are served by smaller regional bases.
One-way and interstate rentals are available across most routes, including popular corridors to and from Tasmania, with one-way fees that vary by route and remoteness. Drop-offs to or from remote depots such as Darwin, Broome and Alice Springs can carry substantial fees, and some long-distance combinations may be limited, so it's worth confirming availability and pricing for your specific route at the time of booking.
Britz brands itself as Australia's dedicated 4WD rental specialist, with purpose-built off-road campers like the Maverick (Toyota Hilux platform), Warrior (Ford Ranger platform) and Safari (Toyota platform). These rugged vehicles unlock remote outback tracks (subject to written permission) that standard 2WD campervans cannot legally access.
Britz operates 10 depots nationwide: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome and Hobart. One-way rentals are available between all branches, and 4WD vehicles can be picked up from every depot, including Sydney and Hobart.
Britz spans the full range from compact 2-berth campervans (HiTop, Trailblazer) through 4-berth and 6-berth motorhomes (Voyager, Frontier) to dedicated 4WD off-roaders. Standard daily rates for 2WD campervans include unlimited kilometres, bedding and linen, a full kitchen kit and 24/7 roadside assistance; 4WD vehicles include 300km per day, with unlimited kilometres available as a paid upgrade.
Britz offers dedicated 4WD models (2-berth Maverick, 4-berth Warrior, 5-berth Safari) built for remote tracks like the Gibb River Road.
Multi-berth campervans and motorhomes with full kitchens, child seat anchor points and pet-friendly options suit family road trips.
Four-berth (Voyager/Discovery) and six-berth (Frontier/Vista) motorhomes with bathroom, kitchen and 24/7 roadside assist support retirees on extended Australia-wide touring.
Two-berth compacts like the HiTop and Trailblazer are entry-level options for couples prioritising economy, with the Trailblazer adding an onboard shower and toilet.
Britz is one of Australia's largest campervan, motorhome and 4WD rental specialists, operating as part of New Zealand-listed Tourism Holdings Limited (THL), which acquired the Britz brand in 1999. It runs depots in major cities and regional hubs nationwide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Cairns, Alice Springs, Broome and Hobart. Bookings are made online at britz.com.au, with reservations on 1300 738 087.
Campervans such as the HiTop, Trailblazer and Voyager are compact 2WD vans for sealed-road touring; only the 2-berth Trailblazer has an onboard shower and toilet. Larger motorhomes like the 6-berth Frontier and Vista have full kitchens and bathrooms. The 4WDs (Maverick, Warrior and Safari) are purpose-built off-road campers on Toyota or Ford bases for remote outback travel.
Britz vehicles range from 2-berth up to 6-berth. The HiTop and Trailblazer sleep 2 adults, the Voyager sleeps 2 adults plus 2 children via a pop-top roof tent, and 6-berth motorhomes (Frontier, Vista) have three double beds. In the 4WD range the Maverick is 2-berth, the Warrior is 4-berth and the Safari sleeps up to 5 using rooftop and annexe tents.
Yes. Britz markets itself as Australia's 4WD hire specialist, with vehicles built for unsealed and remote tracks; 4WDs are available from most depots, though not Sydney or Hobart. Many iconic routes (such as the Simpson Desert, Gibb River Road, Cape York, Gunbarrel Highway and Tanami Track) require written permission from Britz before travel, with some tracks prohibited outright. 2WD campervans are limited to sealed roads and short access tracks (generally under 12km of unsealed road), and breaching road restrictions typically incurs a penalty and can void your damage cover.
Rates vary widely by vehicle class, season and how far ahead you book. Entry-level daily rates can start low (often quoted from around AU$49/day in off-peak periods), with self-contained 2-berth campervans and mid-range vehicles typically ranging into the low hundreds per day. Peak season (the Christmas-New Year period and school holidays) is the most expensive, while shoulder months offer the best value. Britz is positioned as mid-market within THL, pricing above budget Mighty Campers but below premium Maui. Check britz.com.au for current dated quotes.
2WD campervans and motorhomes include unlimited kilometres, while 4WDs come with a daily kilometre allowance (around 300km/day) and excess-kilometre charges, with upgrade packages available. Every rental includes bedding and linen, a full kitchen kit (crockery, cutlery, pans, kettle, toaster) and 24/7 roadside assistance. The 4WD models add camp gear such as sleeping bags, recovery boards, an air compressor and an emergency locator beacon.
A standard liability deposit applies at pickup, held on a credit card, and varies by vehicle type (roughly AU$5,000 for the smallest 2WD campervans up to around AU$8,000 for 4WDs). You can reduce this with liability-reduction packs: the High Road option is about AU$50/day on 2WD vehicles and brings 2WD liability to nil (4WD is reduced to a lower excess), while the Platinum Pack reduces liability to zero and adds extras like windscreen and tyre cover. Exclusions apply for things like incorrect fuel, water damage and driving under the influence; confirm current pricing and terms at britz.com.au.
The minimum driver age is 21 with a valid licence, and there is no maximum age. Non-English licences require an accredited translation or an International Driving Permit. Additional drivers carry a small per-day fee (around AU$4 per person per day, capped per booking) unless they're included in a Value or Platinum pack.
Yes, one-way rentals are available between depots, including to and from Tasmania. One-way fees are tiered by remoteness, with lower fees for east-coast cities and higher fees from remote depots (Darwin, Broome, Alice Springs, Perth), plus extra location fees at depots like Broome and Hobart. Cheap relocation deals exist but are demand-driven and not publicly listed, so you'll need to call 1800 331 454 or email aurelocsonline@thlonline.com. Britz also runs seasonal promotions that can waive one-way fees, so check britz.com.au for current offers and dates.
Britz suits a broad mid-market: families wanting multi-berth vehicles, couples on road trips, grey nomads touring long-term, and especially 4WD outback adventurers who want access to remote tracks. It positions itself between budget Mighty Campers and premium Maui, targeting travellers who want quality and a modern fleet without paying top-tier prices. It is also pet-friendly, allowing up to two animals for a per-rental fee (AU$325 from 1 April 2026).
