Australia is the land of ‘road-trippin', and as such, it features some of the best scenic drives in the world, which are often missed. That is why we recommend travelling through the country by car, giving you the flexibility and freedom to explore places a campervan or a motorhome simply cannot reach.
What you get from our travel experts here at TravelEssence is that they understand the country like the back of their hands - our team, who has lived in Australia for many years, have uncovered these hidden gems and know just how incredible they are, which is why they are now spending their time making sure you discover them too.
Coupled with the knowledge only our local accommodation hosts have over the areas you're visiting, you're in the perfect position to truly see the 'real' Australia, only some very select few, ever do.
That is why we recommend road trips by car and staying in some of the most welcoming, characterful, and relaxing accommodations Australia has to offer - ensuring you are getting the best of both worlds.
If you're planning a trip to Australia, we're here to help you find the car that best suits your requirements - including the right size, and budget.
Which size car suits you best?

While campervans and motorhomes are often the preferred option for people looking to road trip across Australia - because of the misconception that they may be cheaper in the long run - we can tell you that, based on our experience, this is not actually the case.
When you factor in all associated expenses - such as insurance, campground fees, fuel, and one-way fees - the overall savings that can be made when hiring a car or 4WD paired with our charming local accommodations becomes clear.
Plus, what many don't realise is that Australia's rugged landscapes hide some of the best-hidden gems that are only accessible by car or 4WD, so, by hiring a campervan or a motorhome, you will not be able to reach these incredible hidden gems.
Instead of spending your holiday managing logistics and cleaning, we want you to unpack just once and be guided by the insider knowledge of our local hosts and enjoy the real Australia only locals know about.
