Australia’s Cheapest Road Trip Hack
$1 a Day Campervans
We partner with Australia’s biggest campervan companies to relocate their vehicles — and you get the keys for just $1 a day. Many deals even include free fuel, so your road trip is not just budget-friendly, it’s practically free. It’s the smartest way to see Australia, and your camper doubles as your accommodation.
Travel & Accommodation all in one
Your campervan isn’t just a ride — it’s your bed, your base, and your freedom. Explore at your own pace, pull over where the view’s too good to miss, and wake up in a new place every day. Whether it’s Melbourne to Sydney or Cairns to Brisbane, you’ll find relocations that fit your plans.
Too good to be true?
Well, lets explain it – as you can imagine, there are popular routes people always drive like Cairns to Airlie Beach. Campervan companies need their vehicles back at these hotspots, so new travellers can rent them again. Instead of paying drivers, they let you take the wheel.
That’s where the $1 campervan deals come in. You’re helping them relocate their vans, and in return you get the keys for as little as $1 a day. Many deals even include free fuel, so your road trip isn’t just budget-friendly — it’s practically free. The smartest way to see Australia, with your camper doubling as accommodation.
Low Cost & Fuel perks
Many relocations include free fuel or fuel vouchers. That means your entire trip — transport and accommodation — could cost you literally nothing beyond snacks.
Trusted brands
We only work with Australia’s biggest campervan companies like Britz, Maui, Apollo, and Camperman. You’re driving safe, reliable, and often brand-new vehicles trusted by thousands of travellers.

Reviews from Trusted Travellers
Damian was awesome! Had so much fun chatting about travels and reflecting on old memories and life experiences. The trip flew by. Felt like it only took 5 hrs!!! Was so incredible to see the roads and landscape of Australia. Loved it. Highly recommend (along with the long list of people who have had the pleasure of travelling with Damian). thank you! 🙏😁🚛
We travelled with Craig from Sydney to Coffs Harbour and had a super relaxed and enjoyable ride. He’s easygoing, friendly and made us feel comfortable from the start. The trip was smooth, the vibe was chill, and everything felt really natural. Of course there are a few short breaks along the way, but if you’re up for this kind of ride, you’re already bringing the time and mindset for it. Definitely recommend Craig – would happily ride with you again mate!
A dream come true!! – I’ve always wanted to experience van life but never had the means to do so. A friend’s parents told me about relocations and I can honestly say I’ve had the best time travelling solo relocating a 2 berth campervan from Cairns to Brisbane. Everything was super straightforward and communication between CoSeats and the campervan companies has been excellent. It came equipped with everything you’d need and more, and was very comfortable to sleep in. I bought fairy lights to make it even cosier at night, and I’ve already booked another two trips for the upcoming weeks, allowing me to see more of Australia than I ever expected for such a steal.
Relocation campervans across Australia is a great way to see this incredible continent. I recently relocated a Maui van from Cairns to Sydney through CoSeats. From Snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, visiting the Daintree, Crocodile River cruises, a day on Hamilton Island, visiting the Turtles at Bundaberg, $2 Oysters in Noosa and relaxing in Broomshead. It was a fun and exciting trip!
I had a great time sharing a ride with Richard! We went from Melbourne to Sydney, listened to really good music and got along very well. He made me (and my friend) feel very safe and comfortable, is good company and super easy to talk to and get along with! We had really good conversations. Richard was kind enough to give us little detour through Canberra, stop every time we needed to and dropped us off right in front of our hostel in Sydney. Would definitely do it again. Thank you 🙂
Fantastic trip! – I have just completed a great relocation from Brisbane to Cairns. I was able to visit places I haven’t travelled. Stopped in Gin Gin , Rockhampton, Airlie Beach, Townsville . I had a Mercedes 3 berth with shower and toilet. Great van to drive. Service team were very helpful. Can’t wait to do another.
What a partner !! Captain Tim & I shared 5000 km from Perth to Sydney, I still feel very lucky to have been her copilot for 2weeks. Tim is easy to talk to, social, patient with everyone, very understanding & very open for new adventures. We had a wonderful time, shared a lot of ginger beer, adventures and stories 🙂
The best experience – I used this website to book a Camper for 6 people from Brisbane to Cairns. I found very kind people that explained us everything in the best way. The camper was great, in very good conditions, with everything inside (towels, pans ecc). One of the best experiences ever.
Wonderful service and unforgettable trip – Coseats is a wonderful company: It is easy to book a relocation vehicle and their service team are super friendly, reply fast and help out with any issue you have with the vehicle or rental company. I had a unforgettable trip from Alice Springs to Darwin! Highly recommended.

Frequently Ask Questions
What is vehicle relocation?
Campervan / motorhome and car hire companies often have the problem that a vehicle is located in city A and a customer has requested the vehicle in city B. Therefore they need to get the vehicle from A to B, which is known as a relocation. Most relocation offers cost only $1 per day.
Are there any hidden costs?
Most relocations cost $1 per day. Some offers include additional days charged at a premium. The additional days are optional, so you can always reduce the cost to $1 per day. Just change the pickup and return dates during the booking process.
Is the $1 campervan deal real? It sounds too good to be true.
Yes — it’s 100% real! The big campervan rental companies (like Britz, Maui, Apollo, and others) often need vehicles moved from one city to another. Instead of paying staff or transporters, they let travellers like you drive them for just $1 a day. It’s a win-win, you get an amazing road trip for almost nothing, and they get their vehicle relocated on time.
How does the booking process work?
- Browse available offers on coseats.com/book.
- Pay a small booking fee and deposit to secure your spot.
- We pass your details to the campervan company, who sends your final confirmation directly.

What is Ridesharing
Australia has one of the biggest driving cultures in the world, with thousands of people hitting the road between cities every day. Most cars have spare seats, so why not share the ride? It saves fuel, reduces environmental impact, and gives you the chance to meet some epic people along the way. At the same time, Australia has a huge traveler culture, with countless people looking to explore on a budget. Long-distance ridesharing lets you meet locals, go exactly where you need to, and spend less doing it.
CoSeats combines these two parts of Aussie culture into one simple, efficient platform. We connect travelers with drivers heading in the same direction — whether it’s a weekend getaway, a trip to the snow, or just a city hop.
Is CoSeats really safe to use?
Yes. Every driver and passenger has a verified profile, and you can check reviews before choosing who to travel with. You can also chat with the other person before committing to a ride, so you know exactly who you’re travelling with. It’s a safe, community-based alternative to hitchhiking.
How does it work?
- Search or post your trip
Find travellers heading your way, or create your own trip in seconds. - Connect with a driver or passenger
Chat, confirm details, and agree on how you’ll split the costs. You’ll know who you’re travelling with before you hop in. - Share costs + travel together
