2020 - 2021 Flex Rates
Valid 01 April 2020 to 31 March 2021

Flex Rates allows us to offer flexible pricing, which gives you the opportunity to secure the best possible rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very simple system of supply and demand. So when there are a large number of vehicles available for hire from a particular branch then the rental rate is lower. This way you can benefit from the lower rates offered. Generally, this means that the earlier you book the cheaper the rate! There will also be great Standby Rates!
 
However, once booked, should you need to amend the dates, the prevailing rates will apply. We get advised of new flex rates each week. Therefore each quote only valid until the end of each week.

Please Contact us for this weeks Great Flex Rates

The opening hours of our branches vary, depending on location and seasonality. The below information details the specific hours for pick-up and drop-off:

Our Broome and Darwin branches are closed during the wet season (20 December to 31 March). During this time roads are muddy and hard to navigate and for safety reasons, we strongly recommend that guests avoid travelling to the top end of Australia during this time.

Our staff enjoy a holiday as much as you do and all of our branches are closed on public holidays including Good Friday (10 April 2020) Christmas Day (25 December 2020), New Year’s Day (1 January 2021), and Observed Australia Day (26 January 2021):

Please note:
Dates are correct at the time of release. Dates are subject to change.

Returning the RV:
The RV is a home away from home and for comfort, we recommend it’s kept tidy throughout the road trip. The RVs need to be returned to the branch as they were taken, with the interior cleaned, toilet cassette (where applicable) and holding tanks emptied. The RV exterior does not require cleaning unless it’s covered with excessive dirt or mud, making it difficult for our team to see its return condition. Drop and Go is available to be pre-purchased or added at pick-up to offer quick and easy return.

Kilometres:
For the safety of guests please don't underestimate the time it will take to get from one point to another. While our 2WD RVs include unlimited kilometres we recommend travelling a maximum of 300 kilometres per day or the equivalent of 4-5 hours driving. We encourage our guests to take a break from driving at least every 2 hours.

Our 4WD rates include 300 kilometres per day however should a little more adventure be needed, 500 kilometre packages are available before or at time of pick-up for AUD $188. If the road travelled is a little longer, any excess kilometres will be charged at $0.40 per kilometre.

Getting to and from the Airport:
Branches are conveniently located near major airports, making pick-up and drop-off easy for you. You can arrange transport to and from the airport via taxi or rideshare at your own cost.

Payment at Branches:
For security reasons, we do not accept cash at our branches. We accept credit card and debit card for charges paid on RV pick-up and drop-off. The Bond is payable at pick-up by credit card or debit card and cannot be paid with a pre-paid credit card.

GST Tax:
Our rates include 10% GST.

Credit Cards:
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club and Union Pay. The following fees apply for the rental and any additional products (irrespective of chosen account e.g. savings, credit, etc.):

 
Rental / Extras
Visa Debit card / MasterCard Debit card

Visa Credit Card / MasterCard Credit Card
1.69%
Amex / Diners / Union Pay

Fees are subject to change without notice

Exchange Rate / Currency Variations:
All transactions are conducted in Australian dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations, there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged.

Booking Duration:
An Cheapa Campa RV Holiday allows guests to travel at their own pace, to ensure our guests get the most of their road trip a minimum seven-day booking period applies until the 20th of July 2020. A minimum five-day booking period applies for guests picking up vehicles from 21st of July 2020 onwards, when pick-up and drop-off is from the same branch location. Minimum booking periods may also apply during peak periods such as Christmas, Easter, V8 Supercars Bathurst weekend, MotoGP Phillip Island weekend.

One Way Rentals:
Road trips don’t always finish where they start, and some of the best adventures take you far and wide. If a guest drops off at a different branch location from which they picked up, a minimum booking period and AUD $165 one-way fee applies. The minimum booking periods for one-way bookings are detailed in the table below.

There are no one way rentals permitted from Hobart to any other location between 1 November and 31 March, unless specific permission is granted by Cheapa Campa Reservations.

Multiple rentals are considered separate rentals under the one-way fee and minimum rental period conditions.

Travel Restrictions:
Not all RVs are suitable for all driving situations, so it’s important the right RV is chosen for the travel planned. Cheapa Campa, at its discretion, may restrict RV travel in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions, and the distance to nominated destinations in relation to the length of the rental period. If applicable, any further restrictions will be mentioned at pick-up. Guests are encouraged to contact Cheapa Campa Assist on 1300 798 212 for any concerns regarding road accessibility. For the safety of guests, the following travel restrictions are in place:

Change of Drop Off Location after Pick-Up:
If you wish to change your drop-off location after pick-up, please get in touch with our friendly Reservations team who will be happy to help. Our team will advise if the change is possible and the applicable fee.

Repairs:
We understand that while on holiday the RV may require small repairs. To avoid further disruptions to the road trip, if the damage was not caused by the guest, repairs up to AUD $100 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed. If repairs over AUD $100 are needed, the Cheapa Campa Assist team should be informed prior to any repair being completed. Unauthorised repairs are not permitted.

All RVs are enrolled in the Australian Automobile Association and 24hr mechanical emergency roadside assistance is available if needed. Please contact Cheapa Campa Assist on 1300 798 212.

Infringements, Tolls and Administration Fees:
Cheapa Campa will pass on any charges the guest receives for traffic infringements, toll or parking fines during their road trip. For Toll Way Fees received, Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge to the guest’s credit or debit card upon receiving the toll way fee, and an administration fee of AUD $75 to cover associated administrative costs per toll way fee received.

Cheapa Campa offers guests the option of purchasing our Toll Package for AUD $39 which gives guests a AUD $50 ‘toll credit’. When travelling through toll ways the credit will be used up to the value of AUD $50. Once AUD $50 is exceeded, another toll package of AUD $39 will be automatically charged to the guest’s credit card. (a .75c registration matching fee applies within the AUD $50 credit).

Change Of RV:
We understand guests’ needs are different and therefore our RVs can be requested by category, not by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate requests, however should the RV booked be unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we will substitute the booked RV with an alternative available RV at time of pick-up, at no extra cost.

Any changes made to the booked RV and agreed to by the guest do not entitle the guest to a refund. In the event of no alternative RV being available for the guest, Cheapa Campa's liability is limited to a refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused by the guest), the remainder of the hire period.

Animals:
We believe fur friends make a road trip better. Pet dogs are allowed to travel in Cheapa Campa RVs with written permission from Cheapa Campa at the time of booking. There is a AUD $200 pet cleaning fee, (excluding service animals). Service dogs are permitted in all RVs.

Smoking:
Our RVs are a smoke free zone; hence smoking is not allowed in any of our RVs.

 

PROTECTION PACKAGE

Personal Injury:
The RV has Third Party insurance cover and it is likely that any other vehicle involved in an accident also has Third Party insurance. Depending on the circumstances of an accident, the guest may be entitled to claim for their personal injury against the Third Party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. The extent of such Third Party insurance varies in different States and Territories and Cheapa Campa strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.

Property Damage:
The RV is insured for damage to it and damage to the property of a third party. The guest is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability and it applies for damage to third party property, or to the RV. The guest is also responsible for the cost of the daily rate for the period the RV is being repaired. There is no refund for unused portion of the rental period. The Liability applies to each claim, not RV.

The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Cheapa Campa by telephone on a credit card, not on return of the RV. Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge the guest for any RV damage including Third Party property damage not reported but identified on return of the RV.

Liability & Bond Options:
We offer a range of Liability Options for guests. Guests can choose between the following options:

• ‘Low Road’ – our most basic level of liability cover.
• ‘The Middle Road’ to bring that level down.
• ‘High Road’ our highest cover option.

The amount payable for each Liability Option is based on the number of days of hire. Minimum rental periods apply for each RV or total days of the RV booking.

The maximum charge for Liability Options is 50 days per rental segment.

4WD Additional Cover:
For 4WD guests who like to venture further afield we offer additional cover. This cover is available when ‘The High Road’ or Value Pack is purchased. The rate for the Cheapa Campa 4WD is AUD $249.

The additional cover protects guests for:
• Accidental damage to the overhead and underbody sections of the 4WD Campervan
• Unlimited windscreen and tyre cover
• Damage to the awning / roof top tent
• Unlimited kilometres
• $0 Liability (AUD $500 bond) - Included with the High Road / Value Pack
• Bogged Vehicles including towing and RV recovery costs from roads and areas where permission to travel had been granted by Cheapa Campa
• Single Vehicle Rollover.

Bond:
The Bond payment will depend on the Liability Option chosen.
If the guest chooses to take ‘The Low Road’ or ‘The Middle Road’ the total Bond will be debited to the credit or debit card immediately. If the guest chooses to take ‘The High Road’ the Bond is payable to Cheapa Campa by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation for AUD $250 / AUD $500.

The credit card holder must be present to sign for the Bond when they pick-up the RV and is liable for any damage to the RV.

The Bond is fully refundable provided terms are met. The RV simply needs to be returned to the booked Cheapa Campa branch location, on time, full of fuel and with the toilet cassette and grey water tank emptied. Credit card refunds (including Bond refunds) can take up to 21 working days depending on the guest’s financial institution. If there is damage to the RV on its return or any other terms of the rental contract have not been met, the Bond will be used to cover the cost up to the amount of the relevant Liability. If the terms of the Rental Contract are not met and the Bond is not sufficient to cover the damage, extra costs will be charged.

If a guest is continuing on with another Cheapa Campa RV booking, the Bond can be transferred to the next booking within Australia.

Guest Responsibility:
Cheapa Campa reserves the right to refuse any rental at our discretion.

While on their road trip guests are responsible for:

  • Damage caused where the terms of Rental Contract have not been met by the guest (other than when a third-party damage admits fault and provides full contact and licence details).
  • Damage caused by negligence and/or wilful conduct.
  • Damage caused to the RV in any way by part or total water submersion or salt water. It’s true, our RVs can’t swim.
  • Damage caused to tyres and windscreen except where the ‘4WD Additional Cover’ or ‘WAP’ has been purchased and applies.
  • Damage caused to the RV when using the RV in contravention of any legislation or regulation controlling vehicular traffic.
  • Damage caused due to a single vehicle roll over except where the ‘4WD Additional Cover’ or ‘Single Vehicle Rollover’ has been purchased and applies.
  • Damage and associated costs with recovery of a bogged RV, except when the ‘4WD Additional Cover’ has been purchased and applies.
  • Damage or loss caused to any personal belongings.
  • Damage caused due to use of incorrect or contaminated fuel.
  • Damage to the slide out of the RV.
  • Damage to the undercarriage or overhead of the RV except where the ‘Value Pack’ or ‘4WD Additional Cover’ has been purchased and applies.
  • Damage to the awning or roof top tent of the RV except where ‘4WD Additional Cover’ has been purchased and applies.
  • Our RVs are equipped with a tracking device. Cheapa Campa reserves the right to send warnings to guests that are driving in contradiction to the terms and conditions, or exceeding the speed limits. Guests that continuously ignore the warnings may be subject to a penalty fee of AUD $300 charged on each occasion identified.
Shortening of Rental Period:
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.

Cancellation Fees:
We understand that sometimes road trips may need to be cancelled, in case of cancellation, the below terms apply:

If cancelled 91+ days prior to pick up - No Fee
If cancelled 90 to 29 days prior to pick up 10% of Total Rental (minimum AUD $250)
If cancelled 28 days or less prior to pick up or No Show 100% of Rental including any applicable fees e.g. One Way Fee (minimum AUD $250)
There is no refund for late pick up or early return of vehicle.

Original pick-up date is used to calculate the cancellation fee.

Booking Alterations:
At Cheapa Campa we understand that sometimes things change. If this is the case, any changes made to a booking will be calculated by using the higher one of two rates, either the original Flex Rate or the Flex Rate current at the time of booking alteration.

The following are considered as a booking alteration:

- Change of name
- Change to pick-up or drop-off dates
- Change pick-up or drop-off branch location
- Change of RV category
-
Change of rate scheme including special rates

If the rate scheme or RV category is changed, this is considered a new booking and cancellation fees may apply to the original booking. If there are any last-minute alternations made within 14 days of pick-up, we will be happy to accommodate these depending on availability. However due to the short notice if the holiday is shortened, the number of days originally booked will be charged.

If the pick-up or drop-off location is altered within 14 days of pick up, a change of location fee may also apply.

Extending a Road Trip:
If you get swept up in the adventure of a road trip and want to extend your booking whilst on the road, first contact our friendly Reservations team who will happily advise if the extension is possible and any associated costs. To secure an extension, the extra costs (calculated on the current rate of the day), will need to be paid by credit card inclusive of all taxes and surcharges, either over the phone or at an Cheapa Campa Branch at the time of extension. Any long-term discounts in place will continue to apply to the booking.

We will always do our best to accommodate any extensions however it is subject to RV availability.

Travel Insurance:
For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests take out the highest level of private travel insurance.

Rates / Terms / Conditions:
Are subject to change without notice.
