Can I do a one-way campervan hire?
Yes! We love one-way road trips. You can pick up in one city and drop off in another (e.g., Sydney to Cairns, or Auckland to Christchurch). One-way fees may apply depending on the route and season.
How old do you need to be to drive?
Drivers must be 18 years or older with a valid full driver’s licence. International licences in English (or with a translation) are accepted. Note: For 4WD vehicles in Australia, drivers typically need to be 21+.
Is insurance included?
Yes, Basic Cover is included in the daily rate for both countries. You can choose to reduce your liability (excess) by upgrading to our Cover Plus options during the booking process for extra peace of mind.
Can I freedom camp in Australia and New Zealand?
New Zealand: Yes! Most of our NZ fleet is Certified Self-Contained, allowing you to stay in designated freedom camping areas.
Australia: Rules vary by state. While there are many free camps, you generally need to stay in designated rest areas or campgrounds. Apps like CamperMate are essential for finding legal spots in both countries.
Do the campervans have toilets and showers?
New Zealand: Our campers include a portable toilet to meet Self-Contained certification standards.
Australia: Most budget campers do not include toilets or showers, but public facilities and holiday parks are abundant along all major routes.
Where can I drive?
You can drive on all sealed roads. For 2WD campervans, unsealed road driving is generally restricted to short access roads (e.g., to campgrounds) up to a certain distance. 4WD vehicles in Australia have more freedom to explore unsealed tracks. Driving on beaches is strictly prohibited for all vehicles.
What happens if I break down?
Don't panic! We provide 24/7 Roadside Assistance in both Australia and New Zealand. If you have issues, you can call, text, or WhatsApp our support line at +61 417 740 308 anytime.
