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, either over the phone or at a thl 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.

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.

Travel Insurance
For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests take out the highest level of private travel insurance.
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 thl strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury travel insurance.
thl does not accept any liability for personal injuries sustained during the rental. Except where such loss or damage is caused by thl’s (or that of its employees) own negligence or breach of the Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions. thl does not accept liability for any loss or damage to any personal belongings or property of the Customer (or any person or entity related to the customer).
Property Damage
The RV is insured for damage to it and damage to the property of a third party. However, the guest is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability 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 vehicle is being repaired. There is no refund for any unused portion of the rental period. The Liability applies to each claim, not RV.

Online Check-In, Pick Up & Drop off
Online Check-In
We ask that all guests complete thl's online check-in no less than 30 days prior to pick-up; the same way you would check-in for a flight. This ensures we have the right information about you, and all guests who will be driving the RV during your trip. You will also be asked to watch the thl Safe Driving video, which is full of tips and advice on driving an RV in Australia. You can access the Online Check-in at https://sci.thlonline.com/.
thl Roadtrip App
The thl Roadtrip App is custom built for guests travelling in Australia and New Zealand. The free app provides our guests with all the necessary information needed to make their thl journey an amazing experience.
- Provide information on your closest campgrounds, bookable directly through the App.
- Enhance guests’ holiday experience by providing a show-through video of their RV prior to pick-up, so that they become familiar with their vehicle before arriving at the branch and prepare any questions they may have.
- Educate our guests on how to use the vehicle with a bunch of CamperHelp ‘how-to’ videos, as well as a video on safely driving an RV.
- Provide thl contact details to extend their holiday, contact roadside assistance and email any other enquiries.
- Search and book great deals on attractions and activities.
- Find helpful travel information such as branch locations, nearby petrol stations, dump stations, supermarkets, and ATMs.
Guests can download the app from Google Play or the App Store.
What to Expect on Pick-Up
- Each driver needs to present their physical, full, valid driver’s licence upon collection of the campervan (photocopies are not accepted) and all drivers are required to sign the rental agreement.
- If the driver's licence is not in English, then we require an accredited English translation or an International Driver's permit, along with the physical driver's licence. We must sight both at pick-up otherwise we cannot release the RV.
- The RV can only be collected within the branch operating hours. Guests need to be there no later than an hour before closing time.
- Please ensure your guest allows plenty of time at the branch for the pick-up process. We want to give each guest the space to ask any questions they may have to ensure they can get on the road safely, and with confidence.
Where Children Sit
All children aged seven years and under must travel in an approved child restraint. The type of restraint required for each child depends on their age and size. Guests must refer to the child restraint guideline on our websites for the appropriate child restraint. A maximum of two child restraints can be fitted to RVs (model dependent).
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 RV needs to be returned to the branch in the condition that it was taken, with full LPG bottle/s, full tank of fuel, with the tank full of AdBlue (where applicable), with the interior cleaned as well as the holding tanks and toilet cassette (where applicable) 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. The Drop and Go Pack or Refuelling Pack are available to be pre-purchased or added on pick-up to offer quick and easy return.

Kilometres
For the safety of guests please don’t underestimate the time it will take to drive from one point to another. While our 2WD RVs include unlimited kilometres, we recommend travelling a maximum of 250 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, an unlimited kilometre package is available before or at time of pick-up for $299.00. If the unlimited kilometre package is not selected any excess kilometres will be charged at 0.55 centre per kilometre, payable on return.
Infringements, Tolls and Fines
thl will pass on any charges the guest receives for traffic infringements, toll, or parking fines during their road trip. For toll way fees received, thl will charge the guest’s credit or debit card upon receiving the toll way notice, along with an ^administration fee per charge. If thl cannot nominate the guest for traffic infringements or traffic fines the guest incurs, thl reserves the right to charge the guest’s credit card for the full amount of the traffic infringement or traffic fine. thl will make reasonable attempts to issue the traffic infringement or traffic fine to the guest.
An administration fee to cover associated administrative costs per traffic infringement or parking fine received may be charged. (^Refer to the fees table on page 10.)
Telematics Monitoring
Our RVs are equipped with a Telematics location monitoring device, for the safety of our guests. This means we can locate and contact them during periods of impending emergency events such as fires or cyclones that may be in the area they are travelling. thl reserves the right to also send warnings to guests that are driving in contradiction to our terms and conditions, and/or exceeding speed limits.
Animals
We believe fur friends can only make a road trip better. Pet dogs and cats are allowed to travel in Britz, Apollo and Mighty Campers and MightyLITE Campers vehicles. A ^pet fee applies (excluding service animals). Service dogs are permitted in all vehicles. If a vehicle is returned soiled by a pet, thl reserves the right to charge an extra cleaning fee. Our full policy can be viewed on the thl website. (^Refer to the fees table on page 10.)
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 $100.00 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts. If repairs over $100.00 are needed, the On-Road Assist team should be informed prior to any repair being completed. Unauthorised repairs are not permitted.
All RVs are covered by Australian Automobile Association and 24hr mechanical emergency roadside assistance is available if needed. Please contact On-Road Assist on 1800 849 859.
Smoking and Drugs
Our RVs are a smoke free, vape free and drug free zone; hence smoking or drugs are not permitted in any of our RVs.
