Change of RV

Our RVs can be requested by category, not by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate requests, however thl reserves the right to substitute the booked RV with an alternative available RV without prior notification and at no extra cost. Any changes made to the booked RV and agreed to by the guest shall not constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the guest to a refund.

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 Apollo strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.

Apollo does not accept any liability for personal injuries sustained during the rental. Except where such loss or damage is caused by Apollo’s (or that of its employees) own negligence or breach of the Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions. Apollo 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 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 Apollo by telephone on a credit card, not on return of the RV. Apollo 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 Options

We understand that everyone has different needs and therefore offer a range of liability options to provide peace of mind. The amount payable for each reduction option is based on the minimum rental period applicable for each RV or total days of RV booking. The maximum charge for liability reduction options is 50 days.

Note: Single vehicle rollover, underbody, and overhead damage are now included in general
liability coverage.

Liability Deposit

The Liability Deposit payment will depend on the Liability Option chosen and the credit card holder must be present to sign for the Liability Deposit when they pick-up the RV and is liable for any damage to the RV.

  • The total liability deposit will be debited to the credit or debit card immediately, where:
    i. The guest has chosen to take the Standard Package - Low Road
    ii. The guest is travelling in a 4WD and has chosen either the LRO - High Road or Stress Free - Value Pack, without 4WD Liability Reduction.
  • A credit card authority will be recorded at the time of pick-up, where:
    i. The guest is travelling in a 2WD and has chosen to take the LRO - High Road or Stress Free - Value Pack
    ii. The guest is travelling in a 4WD and has chosen to take either the LRO - High Road or Stress Free - Value Pack in conjunction with 4WD Liability Reduction

The liability deposit is fully refundable including the credit card administration fee, if the card used to provide the Liability Deposit is a Visa credit or debit card or MasterCard credit or debit card, provided our rental contract terms are met, and the Vehicle is returned undamaged. Apollo recommends that guests use a Visa credit or debit card or MasterCard credit or debit card for the Liability Deposit, as the credit card administration fee that applies when using American Express credit card is not refundable. Credit card refunds (including liability deposit refunds) can take up to 14 business 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 liability deposit 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 liability deposit is not sufficient to cover the damage, extra costs will be charged.

If a guest is continuing with another Apollo RV booking, the liability deposit can be transferred to the next booking within Australia.

Booking Alteration Fee

$50 plus any increase in vehicle charges fee for booking alterations (vehicle type, pick-up/drop-off location, or date changes). If the alteration is being made 60 days prior to pick-up, or less, a booking alteration fee will also apply.

The following are classified as booking alterations:

  • Change of vehicle type
  • Change of pick-up location
  • Change of drop-off location
  • Change of the pick-up date, excluding booking extension
  • Change of the drop-off date, excluding booking extension

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 Apollo by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation for $250/$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 our rental contract terms are met. The RV simply needs to be returned on time and full of fuel and with the toilet cassette and grey water tank emptied to the Apollo branch location booked. Credit card refunds (including Bond refunds) can take up to 14 business 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 enough to cover the damage, extra costs will be charged.

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

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.

Drivers Licence and  Minimum Age

For the safety of our guests a current and full motor vehicle driver licence is required to be shown at pick-up and all drivers need to be present. If the driver licence is not in English then we require an accredited English translation or an International Driver Permit. For travel in the Northern Territory, an International Driving Permit is required along with the foreign driver licence. 

Note: UK driver licences that have had approved extensions by the UK DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency) can still travel for up to 11 months past the licence expiry. This extension only applies to full GB driving licence holders. It does not apply to provisional driving licence entitlement.

Drivers must be over the age of 21, have held a licence for at least two years and the licence must be valid for the entire booking duration.

It is important to select the correct country in which the driver's licence was issued to ensure correct rates are calculated. If the hirer presents a driver’s licence that is from a different country to which the booking was created the guest may incur additional charges.

Multiple Rentals

Should a customer have more than one consecutive rental they can be combined to qualify for longer-term hire discounts off the daily vehicle rates.
Details are on application.

Change of Drop Off Destination

If the customer wishes to change the drop off destination, they must first obtain authorisation from the Reservations or Scheduling departments.

Subject to the change being approved, an additional charge or a relocation fee may apply.

The One Way Fee is non-refundable after pick up.

Vehicle Category

We understand guests’ needs are different and therefore our vehicles can be requested by category, however not by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate requests, however should the vehicle booked be unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we will substitute the booked vehicle with an alternative available at time of pick-up, at no extra cost. Any changes made to the booked vehicle and agreed to by the guest do not entitle the guest to a refund.

In the event of no alternative vehicle being available to the guest, Apollo'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.

Customer Self Check

Please note that it is mandatory for all customers to complete our Customer Self Check In service.

Snow & Alpine Areas

For safety reasons and in accordance with THL's Terms and Conditions, campervans and motorhomes must not be driven on snow-covered or alpine roads, including access roads to ski fields. Snow chains are not supplied with hire vehicles, and driving in snow conditions is prohibited. Travellers wishing to visit alpine regions should plan to stay in nearby towns and use local shuttle buses or tour operators to access ski fields and other alpine attractions.

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.

Repairs

We understand that while on holiday the vehicle may require small repairs. So not to disrupt the road trip any further, if the damage was not caused by the guest, repairs up to $100 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed. If repairs over $100 are needed, the Apollo Assist team should be informed prior to repair being completed.

All vehicles are enrolled in the Australian Automobile Association and 24hr mechanical emergency roadside assistance is available if needed simply contact Apollo Assist at 1800 331 454.

Infringements, Tolls & Fines

For toll way fees received, Apollo will charge the guest’s credit or debit card upon receiving the toll way notice, along with an administration fee of $1.70 per charge. If Apollo cannot nominate the guest for traffic infringements or traffic fines the guest incurs, Apollo reserves the right to charge the guest’s credit card for the full amount of the traffic infringement or traffic fine. Apollo will make reasonable attempts to issue the traffic infringement or traffic fine to the guest. An
administration fee of up to $77.00 to cover associated administrative costs per traffic infringement or parking fine received may be charged.

Animals

We believe fur friends can only make a road trip better. Pet dogs and cats are allowed to travel in Britz, Apollo, Mighty Campers and MightyLITE Campers. A pet fee applies. Service dogs are permitted in all RVs. If a vehicle is returned soiled by a pet, thl reserves the right to charge an extra cleaning fee.

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 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 at pick-up for a quick and easy return.
