Let’s Go Motorhomes offers three Liability Packages for customers to choose from i.e. Bronze, Silver or Platinum.

The Bronze Liability package is included in the standard daily rental rate of the vehicle. The damage excess/liability amount is AUD $5,000 with this option, meaning that you will be liable for up to AUD $5,000 in the event of an accident. A refundable liability deposit of AUD $5,000 is required to be paid by visa or mastercard upon collection of the vehicle. 

The Silver Liability package is an additional  $30 p/day (for all vehicles) to reduce the damage excess/liability amount to AUD $2,500, meaning that you will be liable for up to AUD $2,500 in the event of an accident. A refundable liability deposit of AUD $2,500 is required to be paid by visa or mastercard upon collection of the vehicle with this option.

The Platinum Liability package is an additional $68p/day (for all vehicles) to reduce the damage excess to $750. For rentals that are for 7,8 or 9 days, Platinum package can be added in the booking for $119 p/day. A refundable liability deposit of AUD $750 is required, to be paid by visa or mastercard upon collection of the vehicle with this option. 

The Platinum Plus Liability package is an additional $78p/day (for all vehicles) to reduce the damage excess to $350. This package is not available for rentals that are for 7,8 or 9 days. A refundable liability deposit of AUD $350 is required, to be paid by visa or mastercard upon collection of the vehicle with this option. 

(Liability deposit payment is an actual transaction and not just a pre authorised hold on a credit card).

Can I organise my own insurance?
Let’s Go Motorhomes does not sell travel insurance, we only provide comprehensive insurance for the vehicle itself. You may take out your own insurance, however you will still be required to pay the refundable liability deposit of AUD $5,000 associated with our standard bronze liability package. 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.

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. Please note that the amount will be debited to the card provided. The Liability Deposits required are as follows:

(a) BRONZE PACKAGE Option: AUD $5,000 payable by visa/mastercard debit/credit card;

(b) SILVER PACKAGE Option: AUD $2,500 payable by visa/mastercard debit/credit card;

(c) PLATINUM PACKAGE Option: AUD $750 payable by visa/mastercard debit/credit card;

(d) PLATINUM PLUS PACKAGE Option: AUD $350 payable by visa/mastercard debit/credit card;

Is the Liability deposit refundable?
The Liability Deposit is fully refundable to you provided that all amounts due under the Rental Contract have been paid, including toll road charges and refuelling costs;  the Vehicle has been returned to the Rental Location at the date and time set in the Rental Agreement; there is no Damage or Third Party Loss or missing items; the exterior and interior of the Vehicle are clean; and there has not been a Major Breach of the Rental Contract. 

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.

Driving
Do I need a special license?
You do not require any special licence, all of our vehicles can be driven with a standard car licence. You must however have a full driver’s licence and no less than 12 months driving experience. Learner drivers and provisional or probationary licence holders are not allowed to drive the vehicle.

Can I drive the vehicle on an international driver's licence?
Yes, you may use your own country’s driver’s licence as long as it is an unrestricted licence which has not been cancelled or revoked. Should your foreign licence be in a language other than English you must also provide a current international driving permit issued in the same country as the driver’s licence was issued or an accredited English translation.

What age do you have to be to drive a motorhome
Drivers must be 21 years of age or older to driver our vehicles.

Are there any restrictions on where we can drive the campervan/motorhome?
The vehicle may be driven on any sealed road throughout Australia. Please be aware that our vehicles are not insured on unsealed roads. The only exceptions to this are well maintained access roads.

Vehicle

How old are your campervans/motorhomes
We have one of the newest and the most modern fleet in the market.
Each year we add newer Jayco vehicles to our fleet and all the latest Jayco models are only available at Let’s Go Motorhomes to rent.

Most of our vehicles are less than 4 years old however, age of the hired vehicle is never guaranteed.

How many passengers can your largest vehicle seat?
The Jayco 6 Berth Conquest Motorhome is our largest vehicle and can legally seat up to six people.

Can a baby seat or booster seat be fitted to the vehicle?
Children over the age of 7 years can travel in all Let’s Go vehicles. Children under the age of 7 years will generally require some form of child restraint. We provide baby seats and booster seats for this purpose

Can we bring our own baby seat or booster seat?
Yes, however by law all child restraints must comply with current Australian/New Zealand Standards and must be labelled with an Australian Standards sticker for the standard AS/NZS 1754. No other child restraints are acceptable for use in Australia.

Can I hire a vehicle with automatic transmission?
All of our campervans and motorhomes come with automatic transmissions as standard (some have a clutchless manual feature). 

Do your vehicles come with awnings?
Yes. All of our vehicles are fitted with a roll out shade awning or canvas shade awning. Please refer to the specific vehicle pages for more information.

Can I hire bikes?
Yes, bikes and bike racks are available for hire with any Motorhome. These are a great way to get around and see places once you have set up your motorhome at your campsite.
(Availability is not guaranteed. Subject to availability at the time of vehicle collection).

Can I fit a portable cot in the vehicle?
Most portable cots do not fit in our vehicles. Overhead beds in our 6 Berth Motorhomes are fitted with child safety nets. Otherwise we recommend infants sleep in the lower convertible dinette to bed options if available.

Will my motorhome or campervan have a tow-bar or can one be fitted?
Our vehicles are not equipped to tow.

Can we rent a generator or bring our own?
No, we do not supply generators with our campervans or motorhomes and do not recommend or allow generators to be used with our vehicles.

Do I need to stay at a powered site?
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

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.

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.

Are your vehicles pet friendly
Explore Australia without having to leave your pets at home. We have select 6 Berth Motorhomes to cater for your furry friends during your holiday. Pets are not permitted in all vehicles however, with the exception of assistance animals. To check availability, get a quote or make a booking for a pet friendly option, contact our reservations team on 1800 LETSGO (538 746) or reservations@letsgomotorhomes.com.

How long will the gas bottles last?
The gas bottle size equipped in each vehicle and gas operated appliances in these different models vary. Those with gas cooking, gas operated fridges, gas heating and hot water systems will use gas quicker than models with only gas cooking.

Where do store food that requires refrigeration
All of our campervans and motorhomes are equipped with a fridge for you to store your refrigerated items. Some fridges (usually in the smaller vehicles) are two-way and operate on 240V or 12V battery. Other fridges (usually in the larger vehicles) are three way and run on 12V (only when driving) and 240v or gas when stationary.

What is the storage capacity in my campervan?
All our campervans and motorhomes have storage space available, the amount of space available varies between the different models. Please review the descriptions, specifications and internal images available on our website for the specific vehicle you are interested in to assist with this information.

What sort of luggage should I bring
Our vehicles have plenty of storage which is best suited to soft luggage as this can be easily stored in the vehicle. Hard suitcases may be difficult to store.

Does the vehicle come with maps or guides?
Most of our vehicles either have built-in navigation systems or they support android auto/ apple carplay.
A GPS unit can be added to a booking, completely free of charge and will be provide upon request (subject to availability at the time of vehicle collection).

Do motorhomes/campervans come with a BBQ?
No, many campgrounds and national parks throughout Australia provide BBQs for free or at a low cost. In the past, customers have found these facilities more convenient than storing a BBQ in the vehicle.

Where do I empty the toilet
Toilets are to be emptied into dump points. These are usually located within campsites, caravan parks or you may find designated dump points in RV friendly towns.

Vehicle Collection

You must return your campervan or motorhome within our branch operating hours on the date agreed in your rental contract. Branches are open on Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 3.00pm.

Do I have to return my campervan/motorhome with the gas bottle and fuel tank full?
Yes, you must ensure your fuel tank is full before you return your campervan or motorhome. The LPG bottle must also be full upon return, unless you have already purchased the prepaid gas bottle refill option or our Platinum Liability package prior to travel, then you can just bring the LPG bottle back empty! Additional charges will apply if this hasn’t been done and you have not already purchased these options.

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.

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 roadside 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
