Discovery Campervans Adelaide

When you're looking for a campervan hire company, there's no doubt that you'll want to find out if they offer an insurance package, and how much it costs. This is especially important when you consider that many campervan owners take their vehicles away from home every weekend, often going on holiday. If something happens while you're away, then it's vital that you know who's responsible for covering the cost of repairs, and what the policy covers. Fortunately, Campervan hire Australia has put together a handy guide that should help you understand exactly what your options are, and how much each option might cost you.

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to purchase a comprehensive or third party insurance package. The former provides cover for everything except damage caused by fire, theft or vandalism, whereas the latter does include these things. In addition, some insurers will charge extra for certain types of damage such as windscreen replacement, whilst others won't. It's worth bearing this in mind before making your decision.

If you don't already own a van, then you'll probably want to get hold of a quote for purchasing one. Most campervan hire companies will give you a free valuation at the time of booking, but you can always ask them for a written estimate too. As a general rule, the price of a new campervan tends to start around $40,000, although prices vary depending on the model chosen.
