I liked having a van, but didn't like the company I went with in NZ. I'll plan better before I get to OZ. Thanks.

One that has very noticeable vans is Wicked Campers, but many others exist. Also there is no road tax in Oz unlike NZ, though some vans come with km limits. Watch out for relocation fees and limits on where you can go. Also decide on your rough itinerary early, you may find it better to hire multiple times and fly between - Australia is almost as big as the lower 48, but much emptier in the middle. In the UK you can get similar vehicles - and other parts of Europe. In fact, a common thing to do is hire a van in the UK, then cross the channel with it and use it all around Europe, returning to the UK with it. Another option, if you are going to be there long enough, is to buy a second-hand van and do the same thing. Then sell it when you're done - it can work out cheaper over-all. There used to be a known spot in London for buying/selling these vehicles on weekends, I don't know if it still happens there. There are certainly similar rentals in Australia.
