Frequently Asked Questions
General Info
1) What is Campervan Rental Guide?
We’re an independent comparison site for campervan and motorhome hire across Australia, New Zealand and the USA. We pull live prices from leading brands so you can compare vehicles, inclusions and the real total price in one place.
2) Can I do a one-way rental?
Often yes - between major depots. One-way fees may apply and are shown in your quote where relevant.
3) Are you independent? Do brands pay to be ranked higher?
We’re independent. Listings are based on your search criteria (dates, locations, vehicle type) and live availability/pricing - not pay-to-win placement.
4) What if the vehicle I want is “sold out”?
Try nearby dates or depots, or switch to a similar berth size. Our team can also suggest equivalent models and brands that fit your route.
5) Which destinations do you cover?
Yes - Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Popular cities include Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch, Los Angeles and more.
6) How can I contact you?
Use the phone numbers and email on our About/Contact sections. If you prefer, start with "Help me compare" and we’ll tailor a shortlist.
Booking & Payments
7) Do you charge any fees? How do you make money?
No booking fees from us. If you book through our links, we may earn a commission from our partners - this doesn’t change the price you pay.
8) Who processes my payment? Is my card safe?
Bookings are completed via a third party secure booking platform. Credit card details are encrypted and processed by the payment providers - we don’t collect or store your full card number. Our website is also protected by HTTPS/TLS.
9) Are the prices “all in”?
We show the real total where possible - including base rate and key mandatory fees. Optional items (e.g., insurance waivers, extras) are shown clearly before you check out with the rental brand.
10) How do changes or cancellations work?
Each rental operator has its own cancellation and refund policy. We recommend reviewing the operator’s terms and conditions carefully before confirming your booking.
Please note:
- Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Late arrival or failure to collect the vehicle (no-show) will result in full forfeiture of the booking, in line with the operator’s policy.
- Cancellation fees vary between rental operators and are outlined in each operator’s terms when viewing their deals.
- If a booking is cancelled, a non-refundable service fee equivalent to $200 in the local currency of travel will apply, in addition to any operator cancellation fees.
- For changes to an existing booking (including dates, locations, or vehicle type), an amendment fee equivalent to $50 in the local currency of travel applies per change, plus any fees charged by the rental operator.
- Campervan Rental Guide is not responsible for cancellations, amendments, or costs imposed by rental operators under their individual policies.
11) Why book through Campervan Rental Guide instead of going direct?
Speed and transparency. You compare multiple brands in one search, see genuine totals and discover one-way/long-hire deals. Plus because of the volume of business we do we are often much cheaper than booking direct.
Vehicle & Drivers
12) What insurance options are available? What’s an “excess/bond”?
Most brands offer optional damage-reduction waivers that lower your excess (the amount you’d pay if the vehicle is damaged). A refundable bond/security deposit is usually taken on pickup. The exact amounts vary by brand and vehicle; you’ll see them before booking.
13) What licence and age do I need?
A full, valid driver’s licence is required. Minimum age is typically 21–25 depending on the brand/vehicle. Some brands accept international licences; some may require an International Driving Permit. We’ll highlight each brand’s rules during search/booking.
14) Can I add extra drivers?
Usually yes. Additional driver fees and licence rules vary by brand. We’ll flag any extra cost before checkout.
15) Can I get child seats, GPS, snow chains or other extras?
Yes, most brands offer add-ons. Availability and pricing appear before you complete the booking with the provider.
