Melbourne Campervan Pickup: Airport Shuttles, Depots and Paperwork

Quick summary: Melbourne’s campervan and motorhome depots are mostly in the northern suburbs, with some only minutes from Melbourne Airport. Some suppliers run a free shuttle from the terminal, so check the details when you book. Every listed driver must show a current licence (non-English licences need an IDP or certified translation alongside), and most suppliers require drivers to be at least 21. Minimum hire periods often apply, and are longer for one-way trips.

Show your rental agreement and each driver’s licence. Staff walk you through the vehicle before you set off.

Which way should an RV leave Melbourne?

From the northern depots, ring roads and freeways take you west towards Ballarat and the Grampians, or south-west to Geelong and the Great Ocean Road, without crossing the CBD.

Are pets allowed?

Some suppliers allow pets. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles when you search.

Where can you stay near the city?

Holiday parks in the suburbs offer powered sites and easy access to trams and trains. Free camping is restricted, so use designated sites.
