The mission of www.camperhire.com.au/motorhome is to bring its customers the best deals, yet not compromise the quality of the cars. The site carRental.com.au is a site especially made to cater the needs of customers through allowing them to compare all together the car rental rates from Thrifty, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and Avis car rentals.
Among the five rental companies, Hertz offers the lowest per day rate with its automatic Toyota Corolla Sedan at $46 a day. The second and third cheapest car hire are also from Hertz. These are the Toyota Camry and Ford Falcon XR6 Sedan which has per day rates of $49 and $51, respectively. Next in line is Thrifty’s Toyota Corolla and Toyota Corolla Ascent, then Avis’ Hyundai Getz, Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer, Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon XR6 – the rates of which range from per day rates of $51-$77.
Definitely, these rental companies offer cheap car hire, but when comparing the cars, which really stands out among the rest? One thing to consider when renting a car is the car’s fuel efficiency. When you go on a trip, as much as possible, you take on those deals that offer you cost savings. Hence, a fuel efficient car should be to watch out for if you are looking for a motorhome hire Australia.
Among the cars mentioned, the Holden Commodore has got to be the most ecologically friendly as it recently became part of the Eco-line range of vehicles having fuel-saving technology. The flex fuel Commodores are Bio-ethanol capable – hence they are able to run on premium petrol or regular unleaded and also on Bio-ethanol E10 and E85. Bio-ethanol is a combination of 15% petrol and 85% ethanol thus this will not only give you cost savings, but will intensify the performance and drive of your Commodore as well. It is helpful to note that motorhome hire Australia is not only about the rental rate, but the cheap costs of running your car as well.

Many times camping was not the sole objective and in the case of our many trips to a place in south western Victoria called Boikerbert Swamp or Newlands Swamp as we called it, catching yabbies was the object.
I remember the first time we decided to camp there. We arrived late in the afternoon and set up the tents, lit the fire and got the kids organised. The guys clambered into the small boat and rowed out to set the yabby pots while we girls cooked up a meal while the kids helped by collecting branches and twigs to keep the fire going.
The night was very clear and because we were away from town the night sky looked brilliant and we all marvelled at the vast amount of stars visible. The children were also intrigued with the sounds of the bush at night.
Everyone slept soundly only to be awakened by the sound of thousands of white cockatoo that seemed to be in every tree in the area. Thankfully the shouts from our side made them scarper with no harm done. It was a very different start to the day but by mid morning we had some yabbies in the pot.
We stayed for another night and really enjoyed “roughing it” and enjoying nature and had no further visits from our noisy characters. The kids learnt some good bush camping lessons and we vowed to return to this area again which we did.
N.B. I must add here that it was not bush fire season, our fires were set in an open area and never left unattended. Before our departure fires were doused with large amount of water and checks made to be sure they were fully extinguished. Everything that came in with us, left with us, rubbish included.
