Choosing the Right Campervan Rental Company to
Make the Most Out of Your Trip

• There are a number of campervan rental companies
  that offer various services depending on the
  number of people you are traveling with, length
  of stay, itinerary, etc.
• It is necessary to know where you can pick up and
  drop off the vehicle, so its important to
  contact an agent in advance and find out any
  information you may need as they might be closed
  during inconvenient times.

5
Prepared Insurance Charges

• Ensure theres a drop off location at your final
  stop and ask from the company if there are
  additional fees for this.
• Be prepared also for insurance charges since some
  companies have it.
• With regards to your itinerary, it helps if you
  notify the company so they can give
  recommendations on where you are allowed to
  travel or not.

Check the Insides of a Campervan

• Usually, equipment and facilities in a campervan
  vary depending on its size, your budget and level
  of comfortability.
• A typical utility-sized van provides you the
  basic essentials for efficiency like beds,
  crockery, cooking facilities, sinks, and a fridge
  while some larger campervans have more space for
  toilet and shower facilities.

Caravan Parks and Campgrounds

• If you prefer to rent the cheaper vans, you can
  park on the side of the road as long as theres
  no signage indicating otherwise.
• Fortunately in Australia, there are many well
  equipped caravan parks and campgrounds for you to
  stay overnight.
• It might cost you a little extra, but its an
  opportunity to make friends and socialize with
  other campers and travellers.

8
Other Relevant Costs to Consider

• Campervans most likely are equipped with a
  battery for facilities and outlets to work. It is
  charged when you are driving, but for it to be
  fully charged, you can plug it in at caravan
  parks that have powered sites.
• Some campervans also have a GPS unit which is
  very useful and important to find your way around
  for a minimal fee. Fuel for the vans can be
  expensive since it is a transportation and
  accommodation vehicle in one.

Calculate the Cost of Fuel

• You can check online for tools that can calculate
  the cost of fuel for your trip.
• Also, if you know youll be traveling for long
  hours be sure to stock up on food and other
  necessities because it may be difficult to find
  stores or supermarkets on the road.
• Lastly, consider the van as your own, so prepare
  some extra money for its maintenance, too.
