Using the Internet to Your Advantage
Find a good website dedicated to campervan and motorhome hire. From there you will be able to research and directly compare all the vehicle options against one another. A good campervan website should provide full specifications, images and rate information for a large range of campervan and motorhome options to suit all requirements. The website should be able to give you an immediate and accurate rate for all the vehicles you wish to compare.
There are many websites offering campervan and motorhome hire in Australia; find one that contains all the information you require.
Research
The first thing you would want to do when planning your campervan holiday in Australia is research suitable vehicles. A good website should provide a broad range of information on the vehicles offered. Specifications and dimensions, engine and transmission details, external and internal images, floor plan images and even cutaways should be provided to give the traveller a clear picture of the vehicle.
This should enable you to decide which camper is ideal for you and your group or family. The layout of many vehicles can appear quite similar. For example most 4 berth motorhomes will provide 2 double beds; one over the cab and one in the rear, a shower and toilet and kitchen area. Variations on that may be that the rear bed may be right to the back of the vehicle or more centrally located toward the front. This bed is where the dining area is located when the bed is not in use and where the passengers will be seated while driving so this may be a consideration for some people.
Rates of Hire
Having established what type of vehicle you would prefer you will then want to compare the prices of similar vehicles that are offered. A good campervan hire website should have an online quotation feature. Enter your dates, destinations, camper size etc into the online quote and receive a display of vehicles available for the hire. You should then be able to check each vehicle offered to see what is included in the rate; the cheapest daily rate is not necessarily the best deal.
Make sure that any additional costs such as one way fees and location fees are stated online.
Checking Availability
The logistics of operating a fleet of motorhomes can be quite complex. Although a motorhome may not be available in Sydney for a particular date there may be one in Cairns that can be re-located in time for the hire. Checking with a fleet manager will often find that a vehicle can be made available. This is the job of the customer service operators that receive your enquiry from the website.
Having received your online enquiry the staff would then check availability and reply by email to you with a confirmed quotation. If your preferred vehicle was not available for your dates they would then seek out other options that were available and send quotations to you for these vehicles.
Online Reservations
A good campervan hire website would enable you to place a reservation and pay any required deposit online via a secure server. This can also be done by phoning the reservation staff, as many people may prefer to speak to someone before placing a booking.
Comparing a Range of Campervan or Motorhome Options
A good time saving tool is a website that offers full details and rates for all campers available throughout Australia. This enables easy and direct comparison on the one site without having to spend hours on the net trying to find all the various options.
