Campervan hire Western Australia

Hi everyone,

My OH and I are going on Honeymoon to Perth to see OH's relatives for a week or so at the end of November. We are planning to then hire a campervan to have a look around the south western tip of Oz for 10 days or there abouts.

Had a search on the forums but nothing really came up so - does anyone have any recommendations for campervan hire in Wesstern Australia?

Thanks!
Regards, Robin.

    Depends what you are after. Are you looking for something budget or something newer and reliable?

    We are off to Oz soon and we are renting a four berth from Kea. http://www.keacampers.com.au. Kea are supposed to be the best, but if you can wait until after the middle of June, I can let you know what we thought of them.

    All the big companies such as Kea, Maui and Apollo have depots in Perth.

    I presume it's Perth you will be staying?

    I think we would be looking for something in-between budget and higher spec if that makes sence - I'll check out that site thanks for the link.

    If you could let me know how you get on with Kea that would be super!

    Staying in Perth with family who will take us round for the first week or so and then we plan to head off on our own for 10 days or there abouts to the south.

    I should think there will be plenty of info on the Trip Advisor forums.

    I would have mentioned Trip Advisor, but when you said you have been on the forums, I assumed that you meant all relevant forums.....:)

    Just had a look on MSE forums, but plan to check out Trip advisor later this evening. Any other forums that people recommend?
