There are 3 ways to hire out your RV. When you signed up, you were asked to select a 'Hiring type'. We have 3 methods of hiring out your RV: Tow / Drive, Owner Drop Off, and Onsite.
1. Drive / Tow
The hirer will pick up the RV from your place or an agreed location.
Considerations:
- You must ask if they have the correct type of license - Manual, Heavy, Mid Range
- You may want them to hook up the tow in front of you or drive around the block
2. Owner Drop-off
The owner will drive and deliver the RV off, set up and return to pick up at the end of the hire.
Benefits:
- Reduces the risks of a towing related damage
- Hirers may not have the appropriate experience, towing vehicle or license - but they won't need it if it's staying in a caravan park
- You can make money from setting up the RV as an "Extra Product"
Considerations:
- You will need to do a handover in person at the location specified
- What is the distance you're prepared to travel? Most owners will drop off around 50-100km. If drop-off is your only option or you're isolated, we recommend you increase this radius to above 200km to attract more bookings.
- How much will you charge? You can set a"relocation fee". We recommend $0.75 per km. You charge for the distance that the van is required to be towed from your place to the location and back again. Note this is 2 x distance, not 4 x distance. You set this amount to the hirer in the booking request.
3. On-Site Booking
The onsite hire type allows for scenarios whereby the hirer stays at your property. It is mainly applicable to owners of fixed onsite caravans located at caravan parks.
