Who is maui?

maui sits at the top of Tourism Holdings Limited's (THL) three-brand range in Australia: Mighty for budget, Britz in the middle, maui as the premium tier. New stock enters the fleet as a maui, so you get first use of the newest vehicles before they pass down to Britz and Mighty. Standard maui motorhomes run under about two years old; every model has an onboard toilet and shower, automatic transmission, full linen and a kitchen kit as standard. THL is headquartered in Auckland and NZX-listed, and bought maui in 1988. It runs ten Australian depots, from Sydney and Melbourne to Cairns, Darwin, Broome and Alice Springs. The optional maui Elite upgrade guarantees a vehicle under one year old for AU$52/day, rising to AU$55/day from 1 April 2026.

The fleet

Six fully self-contained models, all on Mercedes-Benz or Volkswagen turbo-diesel chassis with automatic gearboxes. The Ultima (2 berth) is the couples' van: a 1.91m x 1.78m double or two singles, full ensuite, plus a slide-out gas BBQ. No child seats, so no under-fours. The Ultima Plus adds a 2+1 berth for a child. The Beach (4 berth) is the looker, two 2.10m x 1.45m doubles and an apartment-feel front dining zone. The Cascade (4 berth) suits a family of four or two couples, with a drop-down ceiling bed over a convertible lounge. The River (6 berth) is the big-family rig on a Sprinter, three doubles and two living zones. The Sunset rounds out the 6-berth end, though it retires from 1 April 2027 with the River as the recommended replacement.

maui FAQ

maui motorhomes on CampervanPlanet start at €85 a day in New Zealand (Ultima Automatic, August 2027). By country, the typical price per day is €207 in Australia and €192 in New Zealand. New Zealand is the cheapest country to rent with maui and Australia the most expensive. Prices checked on 23 October 2026.

By typical price per day, maui is cheapest in New Zealand (€192) and most expensive in Australia (€207). From cheapest to most expensive: New Zealand €192, Australia €207.

It depends on the country. Among the companies we checked, its typical price is 11th cheapest of 12 in Australia and 20th cheapest of 22 in New Zealand.

maui sits at the top of Tourism Holdings' three-tier fleet, above Britz (mid-range) and Mighty (budget). New motorhomes enter the fleet as maui first, so you get first use of the newest vehicles before they pass down to the cheaper brands. Every maui model is fully self-contained with an onboard toilet and shower, automatic transmission, linen and a full kitchen kit as standard. In our check on 23 October 2026, its typical price in Australia was €207 a day, against €144 for Britz.

As standard, maui guarantees motorhomes under about two years old, the youngest stock in the Tourism Holdings fleet. For newer still, the optional maui Elite upgrade guarantees a vehicle under one year old, with better fittings like sat-nav and LCD screens. Elite costs AU$52 a day, rising to AU$55 a day from 1 April 2026. It's sold per model, so you'd book a Beach Elite or Cascade Elite rather than a separate vehicle range.

Standard liability (excess) is AU$7,500 per accident, covering damage to the van and third-party property. With no liability-reduction option taken, a AU$7,500 bond is debited to your card at pickup, plus a card surcharge of 3.1% (2.9% Amex). Taking a reduction pack such as The High Road, Value Pack or Platinum Pack drops the excess to nil on 2WD motorhomes and reduces the held deposit to a AU$250 authorisation. The bond is refunded in full within about 14 business days if the van comes back undamaged.

Yes. maui runs 10 depots across Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Hobart, Alice Springs and Broome. One-way hires are allowed with a tiered fee: AU$200 between the eastern and southern depots (Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide) and AU$300 on routes touching Darwin, Perth, Broome or Alice Springs. Note that Broome carries a separate AU$900 location fee, and the three northern depots close over the wet season, roughly December to March.

The standard rate covers unlimited kilometres on the 2WD motorhome fleet, full linen and bedding, bath and tea towels, a complete kitchen kit with crockery, cutlery, cookware and microwave, 24/7 roadside assistance, GST and basic vehicle liability cover with the bond. Extra drivers cost AU$4 a day, capped at AU$60 each, unless you take the Value or Platinum Pack, which includes them free along with the liability reduction.

CampervanPlanet compares maui against Britz, Mighty and other Australian operators side by side, so you can weigh the premium near-new fleet against cheaper brands for the same dates. Enter your pickup city, dates and traveller numbers, then compare live availability and prices across the six maui models, from the 2-berth Ultima to the 6-berth River. maui prices use dynamic Flex Rates that move with dates, route and trip length, so a live quote for your exact dates is the only way to see the real figure. You book the chosen van directly through the platform.
