JUCY Rentals Australia is a dynamic Australian campervan hire company operating from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Cairns, aiming to promote Australian tourism by delivering quality campervan hire with top quality service at affordable prices.
Jucy Campervans Australia is one of the newer campervan rental companies in the country. Yet you wouldn’t know it from the ubiquity of their bright, lime green cars! Jucy Campervans Australia vehicles have exploded in popularity in just a few short years, largely due to the quirky sensibility driving the company. Jucy brands itself as bright, vibrant, and fun – a youth oriented approach rather than focusing on serving retired couples and families. But has Jucy Campervans Australia succeeded because it delivers a great service to its clients? Or is Jucy Campervans Australia popular simply because they’ve marketed themselves so masterfully?
It doesn’t take much time before you realize that Jucy Campervans Australia offers some great vehicles to choose from. Unlike much of their competition, Jucy has chosen to focus on providing just two different types of vehicles to choose from. When you rent a Jucy vehicle you can choose between the Jucy Crib and the Jucy Grande. The Crib is the smaller option of the two, suitable for just two people. The Grande has been designed to fit four people. Both the Crib and the Grande are top-of-the-line vehicles that feature full kitchenettes (includes fridge, gas cooker, sink and cooking equipment), clean linens and bedding, as well as DVD/CD players.
Jucy Campervans Australia is a family owned small business, independently owned and operated. This allows the company to focus on customer service and on creating a very focused company culture that’s tailor-made to appeal to young backpackers. This emphasis is made even stronger through the various articles and blog posts populating Jucy Campervans Australia’s website. The content Jucy provides vacillates between offering helpful travel tips to travel guides for popular Australian destinations to safety tips for the open road. While Jucy Campervans Australia isn’t the only campervan rental company looking to capture the youth market, they work a lot harder than most of their competition to provide some real value to rope those customers in.
And all that work has paid off in a community of clients and customers that are fiercely loyal to Jucy Campervans Australia and appreciate all of the decisions the company has made. One of the biggest reasons Jucy Campervans Australia has engendered such loyalty is due to the care the company provides their vehicles. Before you pick up your rented campervan Jucy performs a thorough computer-monitored inspection overseen by two employees a vehicle. If you have a problem with your vehicle you will be able to take advantage of 24-hour NRMA/RACQ roadside assistance, free of charge.
Jucy Campervans Australia was founded just 9 years ago by a pair of brothers, yet in that short period of time the company has both earned official recognition for the quality service they provide (Jucy’s founder won the Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2010) and built up one of the largest campervan fleets in all of Australia. The fleet began with the purchase of 35 Daewoo Lanos cars from the Auckland Hospital Board and has grown by many factors since then- both in numbers and in the sophistication of their designs. Jucy currently operates pick up/drop off depots in five different locations- Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney, Sydney City and Melbourne, giving them a wide reach through the Eastern coast. Perhaps the main problem with Jucy Campervans Australia is the fact they don’t have a depot up in Darwin, making the Northern Territory less convenient to drive through than with other rental companies.
With highly affordable rental rates and reasonable fees for short-term one-way rentals, Jucy Campervans Australia offers a level of flexibility that’s rare in today’s Australian campervan market!

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.
