Motorhomes for Larger Families
6 Berth Motorhome Hire Australia
A 6 berth motorhome is the choice for larger families and groups who want everyone under one roof with a proper bathroom and kitchen on board. These are full-size motorhomes — typically 7–8 metres long — with an over-cab bed, a rear bedroom and a convertible dinette.
The trade-off for all that space is size and running cost: 6 berth motorhomes use the most fuel, are the hardest to park, and command the highest daily rates. But for a family of five or six, splitting one vehicle is often cheaper and simpler than two smaller vans.

6 Berth Motorhome Hire Prices
A 6 berth motorhome starts around $140/day in the off-season and can exceed $350/day in peak summer. Fuel is the bigger consideration — budget for noticeably higher consumption than a campervan. Even so, split across six travellers the per-person cost is often very competitive.
| Vehicle | Typical Daily Rate |
|---|---|
| 6 berth (off-peak) | $140–$220/day |
| 6 berth (shoulder) | $220–$300/day |
| 6 berth (peak summer) | $300–$360/day |
