10 Must-Have Aussie Road Trip Apps

Travel smarter in 2024: essential australian road trip apps for your journey.

As we all start to dust off our suitcases and fire up our engines, now is the perfect time to plan that long-awaited road trip around Australia. The right apps can make your journey more enjoyable and stress-free. Here's our rundown of the top 10 road trip apps that every traveler should have on their device for a trip across Australia in 2024.

See the fuel price from A to B

Roadtrip provides a super clever way to budget for the fuel costs for your journey from point A to point B.

The app uses the make and model of your exact car to estimate the fuel cost! Perfect for deciding which car to take or splitting the costs with friends. It also has helpful links to find accomodation at your destination, all in one place.

Find campsites in Australia

Probably the best app for finding campsites or caravan park across Australia, it's super well designed but unfortunately iPhone only (for now). With powerful filters, and user reviews, this has got to be one of the best apps for an Aussie roady.

Live petrol prices in Australia

The perfect companion app to Roadtrip, Petty shows you the cheapest petrol near you. Super helpful if you're on a tight budget and need to fill up. It works in almost every state across Australia, but it is iPhone only. A good alternative for Android users is Petrol Spy.

The best app for finding great walks

Alltrails is an awesome app that caters specifically to those who like to go off the beaten track, with millions of trails all around the world, you can see ratings and reviews from other travellers who have done the walk. It's super useful for seeing the true time to explore some of the great walks across the country!

Bathroom, Loo and WC Finder

PlugShare is the #1 App for EV drivers

• Key Feature: User-contributed insights on charging stations.
• Why It's Essential: PlugShare provides invaluable user-generated content on EV charging stations worldwide, offering real-time updates and reviews from the EV community.

Wikicamps AU

Find campsites & caravan parks.

As one of the oldest apps on the list, and a paid up front app, you might be wondering why we picked it. Well you know what they say, it's an oldie but a goldie. Over the years this app has only gotten better, and even includes a fully offline mode, so you never need to worry about cell service on your road trip across Australia.

Itineraries, budgets & packing

We love this lesser-known app because it's super well designed. It's especially perfect for budgeting and packing for a longer road trip. Used in conjunction with apps like Roadtrip for fuel budgeting you can get a great estimate for the trip costs.

Roadtrippers

Planner, map, & travel guides.

We all know and love Google maps, but Roadtrippers takes things to the next level for road trips! It shows you all the exciting places you might want to stop and see on a road trip, including offline maps.

Splitting bills with friends and family

While apps like Roadtrip are great for splitting the cost of fuel, often there are other expenses like accomodation or dinner that you want to easily split with friends or family. That's where Splitwise comes in – everyone in the group can add expenses and the app with automatically figure out how much everyone owes. Genuis!

Route Planner

NHVR Route planner

By using the NHVR Route planner tool you agree to the NHVR Portal - Terms of Use .

The NHVR Route Planner (also known as Journey Planner) is an interactive online mapping service. It maps and displays the following approved routes for use by heavy vehicles:

• Higher Mass Limits (HML)
• Performance-Based Standards (PBS)
• road trains
• some commodity routes.

Please note:  The networks shown are indicative only and should be confirmed using the relevant state road transport authority mapping site .

You can use the Route Planner to help plan a heavy vehicle route and identify where an access permit application may need to be made. Routes can be saved and used as part of an application for an access permit .

Next Generation Route Planner

The Route Planner is now powered by Open Street Maps to allow access to accurate road data that can be updated in near real-time. The open data model of the base maps gives the ability to download routing information and use in spatial systems.

The Road Map for the new routing engine incorporates design for heavy vehicle travel rather than light vehicles. This will in turn assist with a more accurate General Access routing experience and minimise routing errors.

We are enhancing routing and mapping capabilities of the routing engine in stages. We want to deliver a nationally consistent, intelligent, route planning platform to assist the needs of the heavy vehicle industry.
