Vans with a roof tent

If there is a country made for sleeping with your head in the stars, it is Australia!

Our vans with roof tents (also known as pop-up tents) strike the right balance between compact/pass-all vehicles and a more adventurous and unique way of travelling! Every morning, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the Australian landscape (and if you’re lucky, you’ll even have a few curious kangaroos around you when you wake up! The Australian dream, isn’t it?)

The equipment

In many cases, our rental partners will provide you with bed linen for the number of passengers on board. These vehicles also come with camping equipment so that you can prepare your meals in the “kitchen area” provided for this purpose. You’ll have basic utensils, cutlery and one stove to cook your food. These vehicles are also equipped with a small fridge connected to the vehicle’s battery to keep your food cold. Most vans with a roof tent also have a small sink to make life in the vehicle easier.

Who is it for?

This vehicle sleeps two people at the rear of the vehicle, but you can also take advantage of the roof tent to extend your living space inside your van. When travelling as a couple, you can choose to sleep with your head in the stars in the small ‘penthouse’ on the van and keep the cabin and its space for daytime living. For groups of 4, the roof tent is the second sleeping space available in addition to the one inside the vehicle.
