Is Melbourne to Brisbane cheaper than Brisbane to Melbourne?
In our check for 10–20 Nov 2026, Melbourne to Brisbane was from $832 and Brisbane to Melbourne from $820. One-way prices depend on which way the rental companies need their vans to move, so it pays to check both directions.
How many days do you need to drive Melbourne to Brisbane?
12–21 days. It's about 2,300 km, and our reverse-direction itinerary is paced for 14 days.
Can I book a Melbourne to Brisbane campervan through Wanderlust?
Yes. We quote Spaceships, MightyLITE and JUCY side by side for your dates, below the operator's own website on vans we can check. In our 27 October 2026 check: 10–20 Nov 2026 (10 nights) from $779 with us against $832 for the same Spaceships Alpha direct; 28 Dec 2026–7 Jan 2027 (10 nights) from $1,659 with us against $1,749 for the same Spaceships Alpha direct; 8–18 Jun 2027 (10 nights) from $709 with us against $759 for the same Spaceships Alpha direct. Same van, same included cover and 24/7 roadside assistance, no booking fee.
Are there $1 a day campervan relocations from Melbourne to Brisbane?
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 2,300 km, and most people take 12–21 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.
