Hello,
I was wondering if there was a company like 'wiked campers' (which runs in Oz and NZ) which hires out older campervans to budget travellers. We are looking at hiring a camper from 24th Jan (pick-up in Joburg) till 10th Feb (drop off in Cape Town) next year. I've been searching for ages and can only find fairly new campervans which seem to be quite expensive- R 12171.60 (just over AUD$2000 for 18 days). Is that expensive or is that standard??
We are not keen on going through the hassle of buying and selling a van, as we are only there for a short time.
I'd love to hire an old Kombi or Toyota, rather than hire a car and have to book rooms in a hostel.
Cheers
Damo

Sean here from Buccaneers backpackers in cintsa. I was in OZ last year and saw the wiked campers, what a great idea. Sorry man I have not come across anything similar, try the following smaller companies , Afritrax, Bushlore, Kea, just do it, they all hire camper vans and 4x4 with roof top tents newish vehicles so maybe a bit pricey. If you dont come right with camper and decided to just tent and camp out of a normal hire car try round about cars, backpacker prices.
good luck

Check out Lekker's ... might not be what you are looking for but it was the most economical camper van I found online.
