FAQs

Booking - Do I have to make a booking when I use the booking function on your website?

No, you have the choice of making a booking when you are ready or lodging a price enquiry with your preferred travel dates. If you lodge a price enquiry, you will be emailed a quote which will be valid for 7 days. You can convert your quote to a booking by clicking on the link in the emailed quotation. At this point, we will require a deposit to secure your booking.

Booking - If I receive a quote on your website, does this guarantee that a vehicle will be available

No, a quotation only saves the price of a campervan or motorhome for 7 days, this does not hold or guarantee a vehicle for you. We always recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment of missing out on your preferred vehicle.

Booking - What is included in the rental price?

When you hire a campervan or motorhome, we supply you with a fully equipped vehicle including all linen and bedding (i.e. sheets, pillows, doonas and towels), kitchen equipment, cutlery, outdoor camping table and chairs, and a GPS.

This will be refunded to you if there is no damage to the vehicle upon your return. If there is any damage to the vehicle however,  then any repair costs will be deducted from this liability deposit and you can then put a claim through your own insurer to recover the funds through them.

Liability - What is the Liability Deposit?

The Liability Deposit is related to the liability package that you have selected with your hire, and must be lodged upon the collection of your vehicle by Visa Card or MasterCard only. Customers must provide a valid credit or debit card to pay the Liability Deposit and the card holder must be present and able to sign for the Liability Deposit upon vehicle collection.

All transactions are conducted in Australian dollars. Due to any exchange rate fluctuations, foreign currency transaction fees and international bank fees, there could be some variance between the amount initially debited against your credit card or debit card and the amount refunded. Let's Go Motorhomes cannot accept liability for any such variation or any interest charges incurred on such amounts and these fees (if any) are non refundable.

No, you do not always need to be connected to power. Most items within our campervans and motorhomes will be able to operate on either the 12V battery or gas. The exception is the AC, microwave and any powerpoints in the vehicles.
From a practical point of view, we recommend that you plug in to a powered site at least every second or third night. This will enable the auxiliary batteries to recharge

Vehicle - What works when my campervan is not connected to 240V power supply?

The Air Conditioner (AC), microwave and powerpoints will not work unless you are connected to 240V power supply. All other appliances within the vehicles will operate on either the 12V battery or gas.

Vehicle - How long will the battery last without power?

The length of time that the battery will last depends on a number of factors, including your usage of the lights, tv, and fridge. Vehicles are equipped with solar panels to assist with charging the house battery while stationary. Driving the vehicle for long durations will also recharge the battery. However, we recommend that you plug in to a powered site at least every second or third night.

Explore Australia without having to leave your pets at home. We have select 2 Berth and 6 Berth Motorhomes to cater for your furry friends during your holiday.

We also carry out a Vehicle Induction covering the external and internal features and operations of the vehicle, so that you are prepared for your holiday.

To save time you can complete the self check-in prior to arrival. This allows you to enter all driver details in advance, so our branch staff can process your rental quickly and allow you to get on the road with minimal wait time.

All campervans and motorhomes must be collected and returned from/to a Let’s Go branch, as confirmed on your booking and stated in the rental agreement.

Yes, you must ensure your fuel tank is full before you return your campervan or motorhome.

Additional charges will apply if this hasn’t been done and you have not already purchased these options.

Return - Do I have to empty the waste water and toilet?

Yes, please ensure that the toilet and grey water tank are emptied at an authorised dump point prior to returning your campervan. If not, you will be in breach of your rental agreement and additional charges will apply.

Return - What do we need to do prior to returning our campervan?

Prior to returning your campervan or motorhome to our branch, you must ensure that the vehicle does look clean and tidy. We kindly ask you to ensure that all rubbish is removed from the vehicle, the floor has been swept, the waste water and toilet have been emptied. Please remember that smoking and pets are not permitted in the vehicle. If your hired campervan or motorhome is not returned in a respectable condition we may charge you a cleaning fee. 

Travelling - Do you provide assistance while we are out on the road?

Yes. All of our vehicles are covered by a 24-hour roadside assistance service where mechanical service is required. You will also have access to an assistance hotline staffed by the Let’s Go team where you require information or help with your motorhome’s features.

Travelling - What do I do if I have an accident in my campervan or motorhome?

If you are involved in an accident during your hire, you must report the accident to our Customer Support Team as soon as possible on 1800 538 746 (Press “3”) - you must do this within 24 hours of the accident occurring. You will also be required to complete and provide us with a detailed accident report form.

At the scene of the accident you must ensure you collect the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and drivers licences of any third parties, contact details of any witnesses, registration numbers of all vehicles involved, and take as many photos as is reasonable to show the damages, positioning of vehicles, any street signs as necessary, and registrations involved. You must not accept blame or insist that any other party is at fault.

The accident must also be reported to the police if any person is injured, a third party has failed to stop or leaves the scene of the accident without providing necessary details, or if a third party involved appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Travelling - What if my vehicle needs repairs?

If your campervan or motorhome requires any repairs or tyre replacement you must contact our Customer Support Team immediately on 1800 538 746 (Press “3”) and seek authorisation prior to any repair work proceeding. You must not arrange or undertake any repairs without our authority except to the extent that repairs are necessary to prevent further damage to the Vehicle or to other property.

Travelling - Do I need to stay in a caravan park every night?

One of the great features of our motorhomes is that you have the freedom to stay where you like, as long as it is safe and legal. There are some areas of Australia where you may not camp and these areas are well signposted. Fines do apply for breaches.

From a practical point of view, we recommend that you plug in to a powered site at least every second or third night. This will enable the auxiliary batteries to recharge.

Travelling - Where can I stay if I’m not staying in a caravan park?

National parks and designated roadside rest areas are a great low cost alternative to caravan parks. We advise to check with the local government authority before staying on the side of the road.

Travelling - Do I have to book campgrounds in advance of our arrival?

We recommend that you book campgrounds in advance if you are travelling during peak periods such as school holidays, Christmas and New Year’s, public holidays and long weekends to avoid disappointment.
