FAQS

BRANCH LOCATION AND HOURS
DO YOU ALLOW PICK UP OR DROP OFF OUTSIDE OF BRANCH HOURS?
All guests are required to pick up and drop off during the hours specified for each branch.
 
HOW DO I GET TO THE BRANCH?
Branches are conveniently located near major airports, making pick-up and drop-off even easier for you. You can arrange transport to and from the airport via taxi or uber. For NZ rental bookings excluding Relocations, we offer a free shuttle service between the Apollo branches and the Airport.
 
DRIVER LICENCE
WHAT TYPE OF DRIVER LICENCE DO I NEED?
For the safety of our guests a current and full motor vehicle driver licence is required to be shown at pick-up and the driver needs 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. The StarRV, Apollo and Cheapa Campa drivers must be over the age of 21, have been held for at least two years and the licence must be valid for the entire booking duration. Hippie drivers may be 18 years of age or over with a full driver licence or hold an Australian Green P licence.
 
DO ALL DRIVERS HAVE TO BE IN THE BRANCH AT PICK UP?
All drivers are required to show their Driver Licence to the branch in person prior to driving the vehicle. At pick up is preferred, however guests may visit the branch prior to pick up to show their Driver Licence if they are unable to be there on the day.
 
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO DRIVE A MOTORHOME?
Drivers must be 21 years of age or over to drive an Apollo, StarRV or Cheapa Campa vehicle and over 18 years of age to drive a Hippie Camper vehicle.
 
VEHICLES
WILL MY VEHICLE BE AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSMISSION?
Star RV and Apollo 2WD vehicles are guaranteed automatic. Apollo 4WD, Cheapa Campa and Hippie Camper vehicles may be Automatic or Manual transmission.
We are unable to guarantee the transmission type. Please refer to the vehicle description to check whether your preferred vehicle is Automatic or Manual.
 
CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC LAYOUT OR VEHICLE LENGTH?
Vehicles can be requested by vehicle category, however we cannot guarantee a particular vehicle layout, make or model.
 
HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY SYSTEM LAST?
The battery system will provide power for between 12 - 20 hours when fully charged depending on use.
Our vehicles operate on ancillary battery systems which power internal appliances such as the fridge, lights, television and water pump.
The batteries only recharge when connected to mains power or will trickle charge when driving the vehicle. We recommend that the vehicle is plugged into Mains power every 2 nights. Idling the engine won't provide enough power to recharge the house battery.
When you are connected, all equipment automatically runs on mains power rather than the battery. Appliances such as the microwave, rear air-conditioning and power points only run on mains power. Television may run either on 240v (mains power) or 12v (battery power).
For the 12 Volt system to work, the 12 Volt main switch must be in the 'on' position. All vehicles can be connected to 240 Volt mains power via the supplied 15 Amp extension lead with large earth pin. All approved caravan park circuits are rated at 15 amps.
 
DO I HAVE TO PAY PER KILOMETRE (KM) IN AUSTRALIA?
We offer unlimited kilometres with our 2wd Motorhomes and Campervans. 4WD vehicles and Relocations have a daily kilometre allowance - please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information on charges.
 
WHAT IS THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLES IN AUSTRALIA AND NZ?
All of our vehicles are less than 4.5 tonnes and can be driven by overseas driver licence holders.
 
CAN I BRING MY BIKE?
We do not have bike racks on our motorhomes. Bikes may be stored inside the Motorhome, however we would appreciate bikes be stored in bike bags to avoid any damage to the interior of the Motorhome.
 
ARE DOGS ALLOWED IN THE VEHICLE?
We are happy for you to bring a pet dog on vacation in our Motorhome for a fee of $200 per pet.
Service animals can travel in our RV’s free of charge with prior permission and proof of service certification. We ask you to tell us in advance that you wish to bring your pet and to ensure your pet does not cause any damage to the vehicle. Should additional pet cleaning be required at drop off, additional cleaning charges will apply.

WHAT IS LIABILITY REDUCTION?
Liability means the state of being legally responsible for something. With our vehicles, you are liable up to your chosen liability in the event of an incident or accident, regardless of fault and provided you do not breach the Terms and Conditions of hire.
Our reservations team would be happy to further explain this to you. You are welcome to call us or email us with your phone number we will be in touch.
 
WHAT ARE THE LIABILITY REDUCTION OPTIONS?
The Low Road $0 per day
The Middle Road from $22 - $39 per day
The High Road from $22 - $47 per day
Please be aware that minimum hire periods apply to the Liability.
 
DO I HAVE TO PAY A BOND WHEN HIRING IN AUSTRALIA OR NZ?
Yes. Should you choose Standard Liability or Liability Reduction Option 1, the Bond will be debited and a Bond Administration fee will apply. The Bond can range from $1,500 to $8,000. Please review our Liability Reduction Options, which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
If you have chosen Liability Reduction Option 2 (VIP cover), a credit card imprint of $100-$300 will occur at time of pickup. This means that the relevant amount will be “held” from your funds without being debited from your account.
You are welcome to call us or email us and we will be in touch to explain this further.
 
PLACES TO STAY
WHERE DO WE CAMP AT NIGHT?
We strongly recommend you stay at a campground, holiday park or RV/Caravan Park. RV/Caravan Parks offer excellent recreational opportunities, plus essential shower and toilet facilities. Powered sites enable you to connect your vehicle to electricity.
In Australia and NZ, download the ApolloConnect app from the App Store or Google Play.
ApolloConnect allows you to search and book campgrounds/holiday parks while on the road, as well as access great deals on local attractions. In the USA, we recommend and have specials offers with national providers – see https://www.apollorv.com/rv_rentals_places-to-stay.aspx
 
WHAT TO DO BEFORE PICK UP
DO I NEED TO SUPPLY ALL DRIVER DETAILS?
We encourage you to enter all driver details online through our Pre-registration link prior to pick up. You will need your Reservation/Booking Reference and the surname of the booking.
You are not required to enter passenger details, only drivers.
 
SHOULD I DOWNLOAD APOLLOCONNECT?
Yes. ApolloConnect contains a section on Safe Driving Videos, which you will need to view prior to starting your road trip. You can also watch RV “How To” Videos.
 
PICK UP PROCESS
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CHECK OUT MY VEHICLE?
We encourage guests to allow at least 1 hour for vehicle pick up. One of our Guest Service Officers (GSO) will take you through the Rental Agreement (RA) and show you through your vehicle. During peak times your wait time may be longer than expected.
In Australia and New Zealand, “How To” vehicle videos can be viewed via our ApolloConnect app at any time, which is downloadable on the App Store or Google Play.
 
WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENTS DO YOU ACCEPT IN YOUR BRANCH?
Our branches accept Credit Card or Debit Card for rental charges paid on vehicle pick up or drop off. Cash payments are not accepted.
The Bond on the vehicle is only payable by Credit Card or Debit Credit Card. The Bond cannot be paid with a pre-paid Credit Card.
 
MY BOOKING
WHAT IS A VEHICLE RELOCATION?
We permit vehicles to travel one way between cities. This frequently results in vehicles being located in the wrong city for their next rental. To assist in the “relocation” of these vehicles, we offer travellers cheap rates to move vehicles from city “A” to city “B”. For budget conscious renters this provides an ideal opportunity to travel between cities while still fitting in some sightseeing.
For relocation opportunities visit the relocations page.
 
CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY BOOKING?
Please contact Reservations by email on info@apollocamper.com and quote your Reservation number. We will then check whether we can fulfil your request
 
ON THE ROAD
DO I HAVE TO PAY TO USE TOLL ROADS IN AUSTRALIA?
When driving a rental vehicle in Australia, you are responsible for paying toll fees, so it is important to be aware of these roads before you travel. Fees and charges to travel via toll roads vary by state. You are likely to pass through toll roads if you are driving your campervan through metropolitan Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria.
Apollo will pass on any charges you receive for traffic infringements, toll way or parking fines during your road trip. No one likes unexpected surprises or additional administration fees, so we’ll only pass on the exact amount of the fine or charge received.
 
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE I CAN DRIVE?
We want you to stay safe on your holiday. All 2WD rental vehicles must stay on sealed roads, the only exception is a well maintained access road less than 12kms in Australia and New Zealand and less than 550 yards in the USA leading to a recognised campgrounds. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information about travel restrictions that apply to your chosen vehicle in your country of travel.
 
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE A BREAK?
We encourage you to allow extra time to reach your destination. Please take a break from driving every 2 hours.
WHO DO I CONTACT IF I NEED ASSISTANCE?
We encourage you to download ApolloConnect in Australia and NZ. ApolloConnect has a Contact Us section which easily connects you to Reservations and Roadside Assistance, as well as Campstay.
