Low Season Hippie Rates – Unbeatable and Awesome

If you’re thinking of doing the campervan thing around Australia, right now is the perfect time. Most Aussie camper rental companies (including Hippie) set their prices based on supply and demand, so the quieter it is, the cheaper the rate.

Up in Queensland the winter hardly counts (at the Hippie head office in Brisbane, we wear jumpers at the very most) – but for some reason, people are scared off by the prospect of a little bit of chill.

This is great news, because it means our prices are SPECTACTULAR right now, particularly from Cairns. We’d love you to rent our ultra-cheap new campervans over low season, and here are a few great reasons why:

  1. There are not so many crowds around – which means a more relaxed holiday for you
  2. It’s so cheap ($37 per day anyone)!
  3. If you mention the blog, we’ll give you FREE table and chair hire for your whole trip! This offer expires at the end of October 2010… so get in quick.
