Had a great time, easy pick up. Clean vehicle. Everything went smoothly. Thanks

Tyson E

Fantastic company to deal with. Our van ran brilliantly and it was so easy with so many amenities supplied.
Highly recommend

Phil Larkins

Great customer service. Had the 4 berth hitop but it was a bit crammed for us. Next time will go for the 2 berth sandpiper. Overall had a great experience.

Stefanie Aranza
Our 10 days in a Cruisin Campervan went all to quickly. We had terrible weather, but were snug and warm inside our van.
Great set up all round.
Will do it again.

Jane Johnson

Very affordable price and of course nice staffs. Ill recommend this company for sure! Book one of their vehicles and get ready to explore all beautiful places during your holiday.

Ric Hie

Great little van. Got us where we wanted to. Hit a few bugs on the way as you can see in this picture. Remember to keep the door closed at night because those bugs do like to bite......

Derek Mosely
Had a great experience helped by great customer service. A big shout out to David and Terri- Ann who were so helpful, went through everything thoroughly, would highly recommend thank you

Sharon Richey

We took a 2 berth campervan from Byron bay to Melbourne and couldn’t be happier. The van was well appointed, great to drive and economical. Staff at Melbourne were fantastic. Would recommend Cruisin'

John Cielesh

We loved our first Motorhome experience. The vehicle was super clean and well maintained. Easy to drive and really great instructional videos/manual included in the vehicle. Would highly recommend this company to others.

Alana Taylor
Staff were awesome and so friendly and helpful. They gave us the best tips and sites to see. The van was so comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed and the kitchen was a blessing. I'll be back one day it was the best holiday I've had.

Kylie Lawson

I absolutely loved cruising in this camper. It was meticulously clean and everything I needed was at my fingertips. The tutorials were easy to understand and self explanatory. I will happily be renting again from them. Thank you for the experience Terri Ann and David.

Susan Nicholls

Hired the 2 berth sandpiper for a 12 day road trip from Cairns to Brisbane. Easy to drive and super economical on fuel. Very comfy bed and so easy to set up on arrival and departure from caravan parks.
Great service from the Cairns and Brisbane teams on checkin and return. Would highly recommend.

Graham Porter
Had a good experience with cruisin motor homes. Started badly when our key snapped first turn and then our camper had an engine problem 10 minutes after leaving the depot….. but they brought a new motor home to us in 30 minutes and after that it was all good. Roomy van. Had all we need. Would use again

shane williamson

We recently hired a camper van for ten days. It was well outfitted, spacious, comfortable and easy to drive. At one point, we had some trouble getting hot water from the shower, so we rang the support line. They were very helpful and quickly explained what we needed to do. I would definitely hire a van from Cruisin again.

Daniel Scordel

Great easy going service.
The van we booked wasn't available, so we were upgraded for free! All the info you need is provided with a "cheat sheet" of the basic fees, so you don't get any surprises.
We were also an hour late with our drop off of the van, and they were still waiting with a smile.

Very happy in the end.

Give em a go

Dean Cockerell
We recently hired the 6 berth deluxe for two weeks, my wife and I were extremely happy overall with Cruisin’. We had a breakdown (fan belt) which cost us a day but Crusin was quick to reimburse us for the one day. The motorhome was clean and easy to drive and operate, the staff switched on and helpful. Will definitely use this company again.

Vincent De Rossi

Flawless experience, great customer service.
Would recommend this outfit if you are looking to hire a camper van. We had an extremely good experience with them throughout. No funny business with the rental, they genuinely want you to have a great holiday and get out and see Australia.
Tip - go bigger on the van, in the hot summers the smaller vans get real warm, real quick!

Rick Houghton

Friendly and humble staff, they where very helpful and understanding. They assisted us and gave us a very good guide. Was a lifetime experience for us we really enjoyed it was my first experience I loved every second. I would highly book this again will always be coming back to crusin motors for my holiday camping trips in Tullamarine and will recommend it to my family members and coworkers. ❤️❤️

shimaa taleb
June and July school holidays is the best time in a year to drive on A87 heading to Uluru & Kata Tjuta. Cruisin Motorhome is excellent for the journey. Compared to Mauri van, Cruisin is similar but is equipped with dual gas bottles, spacious refrigerator, separated shower and central Colling and heating system. The van is very easy to drive under cruise control and the suspension is better than MB van on bumpy road.
Booking and desk service is good as well. Strongly recommended!

Hongtao Chen

We hired a 4 berth hi top for 7 days (this was our second time doing this) and hit the road for Gippsland. We find the van really easy to use, its not too big and easy to handle on the road and park in main streets, yet has plenty of room for our family of 4 to settle down for the night.
There are so many nooks and crannies throughout the van to store things., and we really had the set up down to a fine art by the end of our adventure.
No doubt we will be back to hire again in the future.
