From coastal cruises to mountain escapes, here are the best road trips to tackle in a hire van this season.

Australia was made for road trips, and Sydney is the perfect launchpad. Whether you've got a weekend or a week, a comfortable hire van turns the journey into part of the holiday.

1. Grand Pacific Drive Hug the coast south to Wollongong across the jaw-dropping Sea Cliff Bridge. Allow a full day and pack your swimmers.

2. Blue Mountains Loop Head west to Katoomba for the Three Sisters, then loop through Leura and Blackheath's cosy cafés.

3. Hunter Valley Rolling vineyards, cellar doors and gourmet produce just two hours north — ideal for a group van trip.

4. Southern Highlands Charming towns, waterfalls and antique shops make this a relaxed weekend escape.

5. Central Coast Beaches, lakes and national parks only 90 minutes away.

Pack snacks, download your playlists, and remember: with unlimited-kilometre van hire from DJ Travels, the open road is yours.
