How to pay for your booking


1. When you find an RV, submit a booking request, answer the owners questions, you will be directed to a summary of your booking request. You will not be charged at this point.


Camplify will then send the owner an email and notification to check your "pending" booking request. 


2. You will see on your "Booking request" that you now have with the Owner of the RV. 

You will see that "Your booking request is pending approval from X"


This booking needs to be "Approved" by the owner before you can pay and secure the booking.


You will see the "Price" is broken down into categories (see image for example)

  • # of days reflects the daily rate charged by the RV owner.
  • "Booking Fee" - is a 15% charge from the total of your trip paid to Camplify for 24/7 Roadside Assistance and Call Centre. 
  • The "Service Fee" - is a charge from the RV owner for cleaning and amenities. 
  • "Extra Products" that you have added available by the RV Owner




3. When you and the owner have communicated enough, then the owner will need to "Approve" or "Decline" the "Booking request".


4. You will receive a Camplify notification message in your booking when they have chosen either way. You will also get an email prompt so you can check the status of your booking. 


FAQ - Why do Owners decline?


If you don't hear back from the owner within 1 week, please call us on 1300 416 133. We will see if the owner of the RV is still active or hasn't seen your booking. We have their contact details and can contact them on your behalf if necessary.


5. When the owner has "Approved" your "Booking Request", you will see in the booking green text saying "Booking approved by X". 


You will receive a booking notification and email that the booking has been approved.

10.   You will then be asked if you want to " Reduce Your Accident Excess" for your trip.

Hirers can reduce their Accident Excess by selecting one of the Accident Excess Reduction (AER) packages.

By selecting Silver or Gold AER, hirers can reduce their Accident Excess down to as little as $250 per incident.


The value of the Accident Excess is dependant upon the type RV and hiring type selected. In this example, Drive + Campervan is a maximum Accident Excess of $2000, which the hirer can reduce by paying an additional cost per day.

Outside 30 days = 25% deposit charged to hirer

Inside of 30 days = Full payment charged to hirer


Example: This booking is within 30 days, so Camplify is requesting the full booking payment.
