Where possible it is recommended that you book in advance, especially if you are considering travel during peak periods such as long weekends, Easter, Christmas and School Holidays, or popular destinations vehicles sell out well in advance.

Customers should consider booking 6 to 8 months in advance to secure the best rate and avoid the disappointment of missing out due to supply being exhausted.

Here's why;

Availability

• High demand, limited supply: Campervans are popular, especially in peak seasons (summer, holidays, long weekends, festivals, sporting events). Waiting too long could mean no availability, or being stuck with a vehicle that doesn’t suit your needs.
• Popular destinations get booked out fast.

Better Prices

• Early bookings usually cost less. Last-minute rentals tend to be significantly more expensive due to limited availability.
• Many companies offer early bird discounts.

More Choice

• Booking early gives you the best selection of campervan types, layouts, and sizes. Last-minute bookings often leave only the largest or smallest (less practical or more expensive) options.

Trip Planning

• A confirmed campervan helps lock in your travel plans. It allows you to plan campsites, routes, and activities confidently.
• Some campsites require campervan size/details in advance to reserve spots.

Peace of Mind

• Especially in high season or remote areas, not having a campervan booked can be stressful. Booking in advance means one less major thing to worry about.

Whilst the most popular months fall between September and April, the mild climate of much of NSW means spring and autumn months can be an ideal time to travel particularly in the northern region. If you are looking for fun in the sun with plenty of sunshine and beach time, December to February will have hot summer days and warm nights. The summer months are very popular for international travellers coming to Australia to escape their winters.

Generally the earlier you can book the lower the rate will be and you will have a wider choice of vehicles with better availability. During the Summer and Christmas periods supply of vehicles dries up, often booked out by late October so plan ahead and book early to get the best price.

On the day of pick-up, the check-in process usually takes between 40 and 80 minutes depending upon the vehicle. It is strongly recommended to collect your vehicle at least 2 hours prior to the branch closing time.

The check-in process will involve reading and signing the rental agreement. You may be required to watch the campervan introductory instructional video and then a vehicle walk-around demonstration where a staff member will show you the features, appliances, power outlets and how everything works.
