Vanz Travel, your road trip partner in Australia and New Zealand

Vanz Travel is a travel agency specialising in the creation and organisation of tailor-made road trips across Australia and New Zealand. Founded in 2022, our company was designed to meet the needs of a new generation of travellers seeking authenticity, freedom and personalised support.

In just two years, Vanz Travel has established itself as a key player in the van travel market. Thanks to rapid growth, a strong digital strategy, and recognised on-the-ground expertise, we now collaborate with numerous partners in France, Australia and beyond.

A vision born from experience

At the heart of Vanz Travel is Mickaël Lechalier. A travel enthusiast who arrived from Europe 15 years ago, Mickaël fell in love with the open roads of Australia. After years spent exploring the remote Outback and the wild beaches of Queensland, he founded the agency with a clear ambition: to offer a human, flexible, and expert alternative for travellers wishing to explore Australia or New Zealand by van.

Today, Mickaël is supported by a team of eight, covering sales, marketing, customer support and content creation.

Vanz Travel’s services

Our core business is built on a 360° approach to van travel:

• Comparison and rental of vans and campervans at negotiated rates
• Creation of personalised itineraries tailored to the traveller’s profile, budget, and interests
• Booking of tourist activities, often at discounted prices thanks to our exclusive partnerships
• Ongoing support before, during, and after the trip, with a human touch and on-the-ground expertise

We operate mainly online.

However, we also welcome clients at our physical offices in Buderim and Brisbane, which we share with two of our key partners: My Little France and Study Destination.

Our clientele

We primarily assist:

• Young adults (aged 18–35) on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia or New Zealand
• Couples (honeymooners, round-the-world travellers)
• Families looking for an independent and safe travel experience
• Expats or relatives of residents wishing to explore Oceania differently

We adapt our services to all types of travellers, focusing on guidance, flexibility and reassurance.

Customer satisfaction remains our top priority, as reflected in our numerous 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook.

Our partners

Institutional and commercial collaborations

We already work with several strategic partners:

• My Little France : Supports young French-speaking travellers settling in Australia with all-inclusive packages tailored to Working Holiday Visa holders: short-term accommodation, administrative assistance, Australian-style CVs, guidance, and personalised advice.

These partnerships allow us to offer combined services (accommodation, visa, transport) and to build strong synergies around international mobility.
