Camper Vans Australia - Before You Hit The Road

There are a few basic rules and facts that apply to most rental companies, so do check them out before you go on a trip.

• The minimum age required is usually 21 years in order to drive a camper van.

• Expect to pay the initial refundable insurance fee, covering minor damages to the vehicle. If you return the vehicle undamaged, the fee will be refunded.

• Sometimes there will be extra gear available at the additional cost. Bike racks, bicycles, GPS units and so on. Check around and compare the prices to get the idea.

• Check for various restrictions a company might have. Limited mileage or any kind of road restrictions might not be what you're looking for.

• Make sure you check the vehicle thoroughly upon your arrival. Take a look at the tires as they are very important for you safety!

• Check the engine oil and other liquids in the engine compartment. Then hop in the drivers seat and inspect all the controls.

• Make sure all the doors open, close and lock!

• See that everything you payed for is on board. Is the gas bottle full? All the pots and pans present? How about the bedding...are the sheets clean? Are the water tanks full?

• And if you want some 4x4 action, see that the vehicle of your choice is capable enough to meet your demand. 4x4 camper vans are capable enough for most people, but if you need some hard-core 4x4 action a 4x4 truck might be the thing you're looking for!

Camper van rental Australia stands for a large selection of vehicles. Large companies rotate their vehicles frequently while others keep older vehicles to keep the prices down.

There is nothing wrong with an older vehicle when properly taken care of. Eventually almost all vehicles will brake down at some point so let's just hope it doesn't happen to you!

Like anywhere else in the world, consider booking in advance. And if you're planning your trip in the high season make that months in advance! But if you have a choice, the low season is a much more friendly option. The airfare and rental prices are usually lower at those periods.

You can book either at your local tour operator or on the web. And check the fly and drive packages for prices.
