The following items are included by default at no extra charge:
With the exception of the Cheapa brand vehicles, the Apollo vehicles include linen, sleeping bags, bath and tea towels, pillows, pillow cases.
All Apollo's bed-over-the-driver's-cab vehicles (i.e. motorhomes) have TV, VCR and DVD.
Only the 4WD Adventure Camper and the 6-berth vehicle have an awning,
this free of charge.
The other vehicles cannot be fitted with an awning.
All Apollo's Australia rentals include unlimited kilometers
and 24/7 nationwide roadside assistance via a toll-free helpline.
The rates include the 10 percent federal tax, as well
as the Diesel Tax Recovery fee. And the
total rental cost computed by
the (highly specialized) IdeaMerge online reservation software does
specifically include
the 3 percent local tax levy that is, if the inclusive package has not been
booked, actually charged by this vendor upon the
pick-up occasion. (Hence we don't hide that cost.) The IdeaMerge-generated total price also includes
the vendor's LP Gas Refill fee and
other charges that might apply
(i.e. charges for optional extras, any applicable one-way fee, Broome's remote-location fee,
etc).
The included liability
(i.e. third party), collision and
comprehensive insurance inheres a deductible (a.k.a. excess; applicable no
matter who is at fault) of AUD 7500
(AUD 2700 for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST, AUD 5000 for other Cheapa brand vehicles)
but clients can reduce this figure to either AUD 2500 (or AUD 1200 for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST) or all the way to zero
and the latter reduction including one windscreen and two tires (except for Cheapa brand vehicles), this by purchasing
one of two optional damage waivers (a.k.a. excess reductions),
for AUD 22/day (maximum total cost of AUD 1100) or AUD 38/day
(alias VIP cover; maximum total cost of AUD 1900), respectively, although
for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST these figures are only
AUD 16/day (maximum total cost of AUD 560) or AUD 26/day
(maximum total cost of AUD 910).
These insurance options also have positive effects in terms of the security
deposit charged by Apollo upon the pick-up occasion:
the default security deposit is
AUD 7500 (AUD 2700 for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST, AUD 5000 for other Cheapa brand vehicles)
actually debited to the client's Visa or MasterCard;
insurance option 1 reduces this amount
to AUD 2500 (or AUD 1200 for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST) and moreover entails a mere imprint of the credit card
(or else payment by cash or traveler's checks, in which case refund
would be by check from Apollo mailed to client) rather
than an actual charge to a credit card; likewise insurance option 2 reduces
the amount to
AUD 250 and entails a mere imprint.
Important: In addition to the deductible, Apollo will charge
an administration fee of AUD 75 per insurance claim and per
speeding ticket, parking fine, traffic ticket, or toll-road fine.
Clients must make their own way to and from the
depot(s), although the depot personnel will of course
call a taxi upon request.
Except with the Cheapa brand vehicles, there is no charge for additional drivers.
If you want your Australia-based motorhome or campervan rental to include
any of the following, you should order such items upon placing the reservation.
Of course our online order software will prompt you in these regards.
Moreover the IdeaMerge software will calculate whether the better deal for
you in these respects is to (a) buy Apollo's inclusive package which for
AUD 52.50 per day (maximum AUD 2625)
— although for the Cheapa brand Hitop and Cheapa 2 Berth ST these figures are only
AUD 35/day (maximum AUD 1225), and for the other Cheapa brand vehicles they are
AUD 47.50/day (maximum AUD 2375) —
includes the second optional damage waiver (alias VIP cover) and the items
below (except the first-aid kit, GPS navigation system, satellite phone, and portabel fan/heater), as well as
any one-way fee (except for Cheapa brand vehicles) and the 3 percent local tax fee or else (b) to purchase said items
individually and to pay for any one-way fee and for the 3 percent local tax fee.
Again, don't worry about this decision, for the IdeaMerge software will figure
it out for you based on the information you enter.
Sorry but Apollo Australia does not offer bicycles for hire,
nor do they offer bicycle racks for hire.
