If you're planning your next holiday then you've probably discovered that some cheap airfares advertised aren't so cheap once the government's flight taxes are factored in, many almost doubling the cost of what initially seemed to be a bargain flight.
So why not avoid the hassle of packing suitcases, trekking them and the family to the airport, queuing for check-in, queuing for security, and flying off to some expensive overseas destination when there's a simple home made sun baked hassle free solution - hire a Motorhome!
Only one family member has to go pick up the motorhome, bring it back to the house, load it up with everything you need that's not already provided, and you're off - too easy! Australia doesn't have a city that you can't escape in around an hour and you're out on the open road to where ever you want; though it's recommended to stay south during the tropical north's wet until the dry arrives around April.
You can then relax and enjoy the comfort of your home away from home and the pleasure of traveling at your own pace. There is nothing better than enjoying Australia's diverse land at a leisurely pace, taking breaks at places that attract your interest as you cruise past. It is also quite economical currently with the price of petrol predicted to hit a three year low over the summer. An added bonus is that you can save on hotel expenses, by utilizing the many powered camping sites available nationally, and spend your money elsewhere.
Traveling in a motorhome allows you to stay in some great campgrounds contained within Australia's National Parks. Wake up to find wallabies nibbling on the campsite grass before taking a dip. Another potential saving is the reduced cost of dining. You can cook for yourself in your motorhome kitchen, or at campsite BBQs, and simply stock up at local supermarkets or servos, as and when required, when passing by.
The only real thought you need to put into your holiday planning is what size of campervan you'll require - which simply depends upon the number of travelers. What facilities you'd like it to have - for instance do you need a built in shower or will the public one at the campsites do? If you're looking to leave the beaten track and explore some of Australia's many 4WD tracks then your hire options may be slightly more limited.
Before renting a motorhome, keep certain things in mind. Make sure which services and facilities are included in daily rates and which are not. This prevents any confusion at a later stage. Check the rental options offered by the many reputable and established hire companies and stick to your budget. Always check what liability you may have to bear in the event of any damage to the motorhome and weigh up whether excess reduction cover offers value in terms of peace of mind.
Whether you want to travel for a week or a month a motorhome is your home on wheels. Following your own itinerary makes your holiday a personalised experience of a lifetime, yet one you'll want to repeat year after year.
