We can assist with rentals from Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Broome, Cairns, Darwin, Hobart Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

We cannot help with rentals from any other locations (such as Canberra, Townsville, Mackay, Coffs Harbour, etc). We suggest you call the local tourist information centre in your preferred pick-up location to check for local rental companies.

How much do I pay when I make a booking?

• If your pick-up date is within 28 days, you are required to pay the full daily rental amount (standard, flex standard, inclusive or flex inclusive).
• If your pick-up date is outside 28 days, you are required to pay a deposit of AU$350.00. The balance of the rental is then due 28 days prior to pick-up. We will contact you by email when the balance is due.

For Australia, all drivers must be 21 years and over and hold a valid, current and full (i.e. non-provisional) car driver’s licence. Please note that Apollo, Cheapa and Hippie require drivers to have held their full licence for at least 2 years.

Exceptions:

1. Jucy 2 Berth Crib: minimum driver age is 18 years. Australian provisional licences are accepted. (Drivers do not have to have held their provisional licence for 2 years).

2. Backpacker 2 Berth Breezer: minimum driver age is 18 years, however the driver must still have a full licence (i.e. non-provisional).

All licences must be readable in English. If the licence is not readable in English (e.g. if the licence is in German, French, Chinese, etc), an International driver's licence must also accompany the country licence.

International clients are also required to show their passports as a form of identification.

Some rental companies have a maximum age limit (e.g. 75 years). Please refer to the relevant rental company's Terms & Conditions.

Many rental companies offer "flex" rates (flex standard and flex inclusive). The Quote Calculator will often display the different types of rates for the same vehicle. You then have the choice of which rate is best for your rental. Regardless of which rate you select, you are still booking the same vehicle.

Flex rates are based on a simple system of supply and demand. So when there are a large number of vehicles available for hire from a particular branch, then the rental rate is lower (and vice versa).

Flex rates are released each week. The rates can therefore change (i.e. increase or decrease) from one week to the next, depending on the movement of vehicles between branches. To secure the current rate, you must book by Saturday (Australian time). After Saturday, the rate may change for the coming week. (We cannot offer flex rates that were displayed weeks or months ago).

Special conditions apply for making changes to a flex rate booking - please refer to the rental company's terms and condtions for more details.

Some clients may wish to use their own travel insurance (for example, through their credit card company) to cover the Excess/Liability on the rental vehicle. In regards to using insurance from another source, the rental companies will still require you to cover their Excess/Liability (e.g. AU$7500) up front. This is because the insurance cover is between you and the independent source, not the rental company and the insurer. Also, you may not be able to "double-up" on insurance (i.e. you may not be able to take any optional insurance with the rental company as well as use the cover of your insurance broker).

So this means your Excess/Liability will be $5000 which in turns means you will have to leave a Bond of $7500 with the rental company. They only accept payment of the $7500 Bond with credit card (and your card will be debited immediately). If the vehicle is returned safely, this money will be refunded back to you. However, if the vehicle is damaged in any way (regardless of who is at fault), you will be liable for the first $7500 worth of damage. You would then have to claim these expenses back from your insurance broker independently. Please check the finer details with your insurance broker to ensure that they cover campervans and motorhomes.
