Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay a bond (security deposit) when renting my vehicle?
When renting a vehicle, it is standard to be charged a bond (security deposit), also known as 'excess', which is the amount the renter is liable to cover in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle.
The bond amount fluctuates based on the insurance package selected at the time of rental and is charged and debited on the renter's credit or debit card.
Is free camping allowed?
Free camping in Perth is generally limited to designated areas (rules vary by location and local council).
There are plenty of campervan parks around Perth. Some popular choices include Perth Central Caravan Park and Advent Park.
Are one-way campervan rentals available?
Yes, a large number of companies allow for one-way hires. Our comparison tool will show you availability on your preferred route and automatically factor in any one-way fees charged by the supplier.
Western Australia is Australia’s largest state, and many travellers decide to pick up and return their motorhome in Perth to explore attractions in the area: Margaret River, Albany and Esperance to the south, and the Pinnacles Desert and Coral Bay to the north.
However, one-way road trips are also popular for a motorhome holiday, with the most commonly chosen routes being:
- Perth to Adelaide (South Australia)
- Perth to Broome (Western Australia)
- Perth to Melbourne (Victoria)
- Perth to Darwin (Northern Territory)
Can I pick up or drop off my campervan on a public holiday?
Yes, some companies will allow you to collect or drop off your vehicle on a public holiday. Enter your start and finish dates and our booking tool will show you what’s available.
Be aware that starting or ending your trip on a public holiday will limit your choice of available suppliers and may increase total rental costs.
