If I'm paying the security bond on credit card, do you actually take the money or just an imprint?
For hires in Australia, bond is taken off the credit card for the duration of hire. Once the camper has been returned without damage or breach of contract, bond will be refunded.
Refunds generally take 5 working days to be processed & refunded. Depending on how busy depots have been, bond can sometimes take a little longer than usual to be refunded.
Are your campers Manual or Automatic Transmission?
We have a mixture of manual and automatic vans, subject to availability. Customers can put in a request for automatic however the only way to guarantee you will receive an automatic van is to book one of our 4wd outback campers (if both drivers are over 21) as they are all automatic.
