Checked 26 October 2026. On vans we can check, our price is lower than the operator's own website.
Is Darwin to Adelaide cheaper than Adelaide to Darwin?
In our check for 10–24 Nov 2026, Darwin to Adelaide was from $2,340 and Adelaide to Darwin from $2,550. One-way prices depend on which way the rental companies need their vans to move, so it pays to check both directions.

Can I book a Darwin to Adelaide campervan through Wanderlust?
Yes. We quote Apollo side by side for your dates, below the operator's own website on vans we can check. In our 27 October 2026 check: 10–24 Nov 2026 (14 nights) from $2,369 with us against $2,502 for the same Apollo Hitop direct. Same van, same included cover and 24/7 roadside assistance, no booking fee.
Are there $1 a day campervan relocations from Darwin to Adelaide?
Sometimes, when rental companies need vans moved that way. They come with a set pick-up date, only the days needed for the drive, usually a kilometre limit, and fuel and bond on you, and they go first come, first served. This drive is about 4,600 km, and most people take 10–21 days, so your own pace and choice of van, a normal one-way hire is the better deal. We quote normal hires, not relocations.
Is the one-way fee included?
Yes. Every total on this page includes the one-way fee and the compulsory fees the rental company charges, plus its included basic cover. Excess reduction is optional and extra, about $30 to $75 a day depending on the brand.
Do you charge a booking fee?
No. The rental company pays our commission, so the price we quote is the price you pay. Found the same van cheaper for the same dates? Send it to us and we'll do our best to beat it.
