One Way Campervan Hire Relocation from a $1 a day

Why so Cheap?

Rental companies frequently need to move and relocate campervans around the country. This can be due to seasonal changes or because demand for vehicles is greater in different cities due to festivals, sporting occasions or other events. Rather than pay for a driver to relocate a campervan, rental companies offer them to the travelling public at knock down prices producing the perfect win-win outcome.

How it Works

• The Campervan Rental Relocation list is updated each day at between 8.30am-9.30am (AEST) for travel in approximately the next 2-3 weeks. This is when the list is fresh and vehicles most likely to still be available. It's the best time to submit a relocation request as we are more than likely able to confirm your request. The relocations book quickly and therefore as the day progresses the availability becomes more limited.
• Select from the list of published deals above and complete the online request form.
• A member of the DriveNow Reservations team will contact you or alternatively call us on 1300 547 214.
• A holding fee of $75-$120 will be charged to your credit card/debit card and applied to your booking. This is not a booking fee!! If you are entitle to a refund or need to pay the balance of the rental cost this is done at collection of the vehicle by the depot staff.
• The Australian mileage allowance for each rental is based on distance between pick-up and drop off location plus 550kms. Any kilometres travelled above this will be charged at AU$0.55 per km.
• When travelling in Australia you will receive a fuel allowance. You will need to complete your rental and keep your tax invoices. This fuel allowance will be reimbursed up to the given amount on completion of your rental.
• When booking with DriveNow there are absolutely NO Booking fees and NO administration Charges. We believe in passing the full value of the deal through to you!
• Please ensure that you read Terms and Conditions - Australia - before submitting a request as these vary from standard rental agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the more popular questions asked of our Reservations team and many of these are covered in more detail in the Australian Campervan Relocation Terms and Conditions.

What fees will I be charged?

DriveNow charges no booking fees. We take a holding fee which is $75-$120 at the time of booking but this comes of the total cost of your rental. In the event that you cancel a confirmed booking or fail to pick up the vehicle AU$50 cancellation fee is charged by the rental company.

When will my booking be confirmed?

Once a DriveNow Reservations Team member has spoken with you on the phone and taken credit card/debit card details we will contact the campervan supplier, confirm the booking and email through details to you.
**Please note the vehicle type booked may change prior to departure or be cancelled at the rental company's discretion, even on the day of travel**

Can I book a relocation vehicle for pick up in 4 weeks' time?

Sometimes! However all campervan relocations are last minute so they are generally in the next 2-3 weeks but definitely keep an eye out on the list!

Is there a Security Deposit/Bond on the vehicle? How do I pay for it?

Yes. The suppliers charge a $1000 security bond on collection of the vehicle. This has to be available on a credit card/debit card as the suppliers will freeze or debit these funds off. Unfortunately cash and American Express cards are not accepted by the suppliers. The credit card will be processed and credited back at the end of the rental providing the vehicle is returned on time, undamaged and with a full fuel tank and gas bottle.

Can I reduce my liability on the standard Excess Insurance?

Yes. Options are available by paying a daily fee. Regardless of which option you take out the $1000 bond is still required at collection of the vehicle.

Can I hire the vehicle for extra days?

Each campervan relocation deal will have a minimum and maximum number of days allocated to it. You pay $5 for each of the minimum number of days and can add in additional days at AU$75 per day up to the maximum days allocated. Sometimes the extra days are not available but we will always double check for you.

How do I receive payment for Fuel?

You will need to keep your tax invoices whilst you are travelling. Please make sure these state that you have purchased petrol! You will be reimbursed up to the agreed value when dropping off your campervan.

Are there any allowances for Tasmanian Relocations?

Yes. Your ‘fuel allowance’ can be used towards claiming back the cost of your fuel, ferry, flight or all three. The suppliers will however pay no more than the agreed value. Just be sure to keep all your receipts and present them at the depot on completion of the rental.

What time can I pick up and drop off the vehicle?

The depot hours for relocations are 10am till 3pm. You can pick up and return the vehicle anytime between the depot hours. You must return the vehicle no later than 1500 hours (3.00pm) on the last day otherwise there is a late fee of $150 if returned between 3.00pm and 4.00pm and AFTER 4.00pm this late fee becomes $1000!

How is the free kilometre allowance determined?

The number of free kilometres on each deal is the distance between the pickup and drop off location plus 550km (refer to chart below). Any travel beyond that is charged at AU$0.55 per km. For instance, Brisbane to Adelaide is 2056kms, including the added 550km, your free travel allowance would be 2606km.
