Queensland Road Trips

Start your Queensland adventure with campervan hire in Brisbane or Cairns and explore the Sunshine State at your own pace. With two pickup locations, you can choose the perfect starting point for an East Coast road trip, tropical getaway or longer Australian adventure.

From Brisbane, head south to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay or head north through the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Rainbow Beach and K'gari (Fraser Island), before continuing to Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and the Whitsundays. Carry on towards Cairns to experience the Great Barrier Reef, tropical beaches and some of Queensland’s most spectacular coastal scenery.

Starting in Cairns puts you close to the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation, Port Douglas and Atherton Tablelands. The Cairns to Brisbane road trip is an iconic Australian adventure, with plenty of beaches, wildlife and natural attractions to discover along the way. One way hires are the best way to explore the Australian East Coast.

For travellers looking to venture further off the beaten track, our 4WD campers can take you along permitted unsealed roads and into more remote parts of Queensland. Whether you’re planning a short getaway or an epic East Coast road trip, pick up your campervan or 4x4 camper in Brisbane or Cairns and enjoy the freedom to explore Queensland your way.
