Jucy camper rentals in Australia
Has anyone had any dealing with Jucy in Australia? Did a search on TT and only came up with NZ info.
They have some good deals on small campervans but I am concerned about the lack of Australian contact details. On their website they say: “Jucy campervan rentals based in Brisbane, Australia is a proudly Australian campervan rental company”…. seems a bit misleading to me as they have Australian offices but you don’t seem to be able to contact them directly. All the phone numbers are NZ numbers and their call centre is based in NZ.
It also appears that they require a deposit to secure the rental – and there is no way of paying it in Australian dollars. Have to pay to a NZ website in NZ dollars or telephone an NZ office and pay in NZ dollars.Weird.
Trying to figure out if these are just teething prooblems because they have only been operating in Australia a short time or whether I should suspect a dodgy operation.

We were totally spoiled with the Toyota Hi Top Hiace in Tasmania and grimaced when we saw the limited space in the Jucy Toyoto Previa Campervan. Terry couldn’t even sit up in the back without poking his head out of the sun roof and his feet were dangling off the bed for the entire week. Not recommend for anyone over 5 ft 9 inches!
It came with the standard linen, basic cutlery (no cheese grater this time!) and a single small pot and two small gas canisters. When we asked the agent how long the gas canisters last, he replied “Not sure, every time I asked a renter upon return, they said they ate out the whole time!” Not surprising to say the least, after it took us an entire hour to boil a pot of water with the wind and lack of cover out the back!
Needless to say, we ended up staying at Holiday Parks ($25 to $30 for powered sites) every few days to cook en masse to last us until the next time we spied a camp kitchen! We stocked up on cereal, PB&J, salad, granola bars, chocolate and made spaghetti, taco/burrito fillings and beans in large quantities so we could merely re-heat with the supplied gas stove.
However, the car itself was slightly cheaper per day, had better gas mileage and was easier to drive (automatic transmission) and park in inconspicuous places (albeit the bright green exterior). If you are road-tripping for a short period of time, the smaller minivan will suffice, but for extended periods and for taller people, be prepared to be slightly cramped.
