Campervan Holidays

$1 Campervan deals are back!

If you dream of heading off in a campervan to visit family or friends, or just want to explore Australia or New Zealand, $1 campervan relocations make it incredibly affordable.

Can you go on holiday at anytime and love the idea of hitting the open road? Then why not take advantage of a $1 campervan relocation, a great way of making travel affordable.  Campervans are usually booked to be driven from A to B and, from time to time, they need to be relocated ready for the next pick-up. Occasionally, companies need people to collect Campervans from various locations across Australia and drive them to where they’re needed, giving you the opportunity to enjoy accommodation and car hire for only $1 per day (note: you will need to pay for insurance charges, just as you would if you were hiring a car).

These offers are updated randomly but regularly, so check every couple of days and grab yourself a cheap break away. It is important to note that you cannot book these far in advance, only what is available on the website for the specific dates.

*Important* You are being given the keys to a vehicle that is worth close to $50,000 depending on the type you are receiving. With this in mind, just like if you were staying in a hotel, a bond will need to be paid upfront that is fully refundable at the end of the trip, if all conditions are met. This bond is approximately $1000. Furthermore you will need to pay a booking fee of $25 and a holding fee of $50-$100, which will be refunded on pick-up.

Hit the road

Explore North Queensland at your own pace and let someone else do the driving.

The Big Blue B&B Bus offers all the luxury and amenities of your above average bed and breakfast, but as it’s on wheels, you don’t need to stay in one place to enjoy all on offer. Based in the Townsville region, the bus can accommodate four, and comes with the driver thrown in, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Featuring all the home comforts of your favourite B&B, you don’t need to go without TV, internet or housekeeping, and even your daily newspaper is provided. A hot shower and gourmet breakfast set you up for a day exploring the region and for those more active, there is full use of bicycles and sporting equipment onboard.
