Apollo Motorhome Holidays was founded in 1985 and has grown to be one of Australia's largest and leading car and campervan rental companies. They also offer car and motorhome hire in New Zealand. All the campervans and motorhomes in the fleet are modern and well-appointed. Vehicles are designed and manufactured in their Brisbane factory and in partnership with Winnebago, Swagman and Frontline. Naturally they maintain and service the fleet to the highest standard possible.
Apollo Motorhome Holidays has ten conveniently located depots throughout Australia for vehicle pick-up and drop-offs. One way rentals are possible between all the following: Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Perth, Broome and Darwin. Vehicle pick-up and drop-off is available between 8am and 4.30pm, seven days a week (excluding Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Year's Day).
Where do we camp at night?
They strongly recommend that you stay in a caravan (RV) park. Australia has an extensive network of caravan parks in all major tourist centres and in most towns. They offer excellent recreation facilities and of course have superb shower and toilet amenities. They also have provision for you to plug the vehicle into electricity.
There is ordinarily no need to book ahead, even in peak periods. The approximate cost is $15 to $20 (Australian dollars) a night. Most national parks have areas set aside for camping. There are often shower and toilets, barbeques and picnic areas and of course national parks provide a scenic and peaceful place to stay at overnight. However these areas generally do not have facility for you to plug the vehicle into electricity. Because of local council laws you are not permitted to camp on the side of the road in the vicinity of towns. However outside the towns and in country areas it is generally allowed.
How long does the battery system last?
All Apollo vehicles have a dual battery system. This means that the engine battery is separate from the battery system used for internal appliances, such as the fridge, lights and water pump. All vehicles have the facility to plug into electricity. When you plug into electricity in a caravan park all accessories automatically run off 240V electricity rather then the batteries. You can then use appliances such as the television, microwave and rear air-conditioning that only run off electricity.
What is supplied with the vehicle?
Each vehicle is supplied with complimentary living equipment (such as bedding, cooking equipment, eating utensils, bath and tea towels.) Also, each vehicle is supplied with a complimentary Apollo Pack for your first night. The pack contains matches, mini shampoo and conditioner, dishwashing liquid, a sponge, soap, salt and pepper, coffee, tea and sugar satchels. Also provided are comprehensive maps and camp ground guides. They strongly recommend that you use soft bags instead of suitcases for your luggage. Soft bags take up less room and fit easier into the storage cupboards and lockers in the vehicle.
What is the Cost of Fuel?
Petrol (Gasoline) in Australia comes in unleaded and leaded grades, and is sold by the litre. Petrol and diesel fuel costs between $1.15 AUD and $1.60 AUD per litre and can be higher especially in country and remote outback areas.
