Kea
Vehicles are between 0 to 2 years old.
Kea gets our vote as number in terms of product and service quality. In over four years we have not received a single complaint about a Kea vehicle or branch! The vehicles are built with the intention to sell them after 18 months to two years of being rented out, and are maintained accordingly to keep them in a state of excellent repair.
Innovatively designed with European kitchens and numerous high quality appliances, Kea were the first company to introduce solar panels, which now come on all their vehicles. Security screens and safety deposit boxes come as standard, and all vehicles except the 4WD ones have a flat screen TV and a DVD player.
The only downside to Kea is they have a relatively small fleet for the demand they receive, so best get those bookings in VERY early. They are the most expensive of the campervans, but keep your eye out for those low-season specials.

Apollo
Vehicles are between 0-3 years old.
Apollo campervans are of exceptional quality, and they have an extensive fleet including large numbers of 4 and 6 berth campervans. Although sitting in the higher end of the market, their low-season specials are excellent. All their 3, 4 and 6 berths come with a Flat Screen TV and DVD player, and theirs is the only true 3 berth with a toilet and shower.
There are no additional charges for extra drivers or for bed linen when booking an Apollo camper, nor is there a surcharge for a one way journey of 21+ days. We would recommend you look into their Stress Free Package, which offers excellent value for money.

Maui
Vehicles are between 0-3 years old.
With a large and dependable rental fleet Maui are firmly positioned in the top end of the market. Their high standard vehicles all have well laid out living areas and comfortable sleeping arrangements, and all come with automatic transmission except the 4WD. The 6 berth is the most luxuriously equipped, boasting a GPS Navigation unit, a flat screen TV with a DVD player and a Playstation 2 games console.
Maui is the only company to reimburse your taxi fare from the airport to your pick up branch, and they do not charge for additional drivers or for linen.

Hippie Camper
Vehicles are new or refurbished in 2007
This is a unique product designed to target the younger age group of traveller, with any licensed driver aged 18 and over allowed to drive one.
Designed to compete with the Wicked Camper line, they are perfect for couples or a young group of friends travelling together. There are two models, both impressively built and with a professional feel to them. The Deluxe model has roof racks and a safe, which the Budget model lacks although it makes up for this with a roomier feel due to its opening rear door.

AutoRent Hertz
Vehicles aged 2-4 years old
These vehicles are only available in Tasmania, and are especially useful to people arriving in Launceston and travelling on from there. They have Airport and city branches in Hobart too, and no one way fees make them an ideal option to explore Tassy.
As far as quality and value for money go we would place them in the same category as Britz, and they have a unique 2-5 Berth Motorhome that is very popular. Their customer service is very helpful and informative.

Britz
Vehicles are between 2-4 years old.
Britz campervans were initially Maui Campervans, so although they are well maintained, reliable and comfortable don’t expect perfection. Availability is excellent as a result of their large fleet, and their good prices make them a viable option for the budget conscious holiday maker who does not want to rough it.
There is an additional fee for adding extra drivers to the rental agreement, and while you are allowed to BYO linen, if you wish to use theirs there is also a hire fee.In our opinion Britz offer the best value for money.

Cheapa Camper
Vehicles are between 2-5 years old.
We are getting towards the budget end of the spectrum now. Having started out as an Apollo Motorhome and done a fair bit of mileage in their time, don’t expect Cheapa Campers to be completely flawless. They have been very well maintained though, and offer great value for money.
As far as inclusions go, they do not come with linen or the option for an extra driver, and if you require either of these you will pay a surcharge.

Backpacker
Vehicles are between 3-6 years old.
As the name suggests the Backpacker is for the seriously budget conscious traveller. Starting out as Maui Motorhomes then becoming Britz their final days on the road are spent as Backpackers. This is not to say they are unreliable, they undergo a rigorous maintenance program and have a 24 hour on road helpline.
Their smaller 2 berth models are very popular and are an effective way to enjoy a cost cutting holiday. With their huge fleet size availability is very rarely a problem.
