A self-drive holiday is a great way to explore Australia at your own pace. The country is interesting and exciting. It has a long history that dates back hundreds, even thousands, of years. There are indigenous sights to see as well as more modern sites built by the Europeans. These places often combine aboriginal customs, European traditions, and many other heritages of the South Pacific. You can follow your favourite footy team around during the season or drive to a different city to watch your rugby side. Whatever the reason for your travel, a campervan is the way to go. It provides you the freedom of opportunity to set your own itinerary without having to worry about timelines. If you miss your flight or your hotel check-in times, you might have to pay extra money. You might even miss something that you had been scheduled to do.
With a campervan, you’re in complete control. You can drive to the footy match, or wherever you plan to go, and then drive straight to dinner after the match. You don’t have to worry about catching a taxi or finding a ride sharing app.
Saving Money
Saving money through your motorhome hire has never been easier. You need to make sure that you are hiring a motorhome that fits your needs but isn’t excessively large. Pick the one with the best fuel economy, which will save you money on the motorhome itself as well as the operation of the vehicle. There are several ways to keep your prices low through the company from which you hire your motorhome.
Many companies will offer you an early bird special. If you know when you are going to go on holiday, you can hire your motorhome in advance to save money. If you are booking your motorhome for approximately four months or more into the future, you will likely be eligible for some type of discount. If you don’t get a discount for booking about 120 days in advance, you should look for a different company. Booking that far in advance is encouraged by most companies because it gives them a better idea of their future revenues. The more stable they feel their business is, the more likely they are to invest in themselves.
Peak Season
There is no hard and fast rule about the motorhome hire pricing during peak season. Typically, peak seasons will be around Christmas time and other major holidays. Some companies will offer you a discount during peak season because they want to move as many of their vehicles as possible. Others will charge more during peak season because they have a shortage of vehicles in the face of higher demand.
Furthermore, some companies will offer you a greater discount for off-season booking. For example, booking a motorhome during the winter might be much less expensive for the same motorhome. You should look into booking a motorhome in advance. If the dates of your holiday are not firm, you should look for the best time to book.
