Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Yes, absolutely! We offer one-way rentals between most major cities in both Australia and New Zealand. Simply select your pick-up and drop-off locations when searching, and we’ll show you all the available options.

Most campervans come with bedding, kitchen gear, basic insurance, and unlimited kilometres (in most locations). Each listing will clearly outline what’s included – and if you’re unsure, just ask us before you book.

If your driver’s licence is in English, you can use it directly. If not, you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home licence. You must be at least 21 years old for most rentals.

Nope! Our rates are the same – or even cheaper – than booking direct. Plus, we include extra support, promo deals, and the ability to compare across multiple brands all in one place.
