The pre-hire checklist is a mandatory form about the condition of the RV at the start of the hire. 


It gathers an accurate condition report of your RV at the time of the hire - like when you sign a lease to a house. 

Owners complete the Checklist on the App at the "Handover" and it should take 20 minutes to complete. Your handover can be longer and explains how to use your RV to the hirer.

Why do we do a Pre-Hire checklist? 

The Pre-Hire checklist is critical for the damage claim process. 


Without a completed pre-hire, the van owner will not be able to lodge any damage incidents to camplify as a completed condition report is required to retain the hirers bond and lodge a claim on the Camplify fleet policy.


When and how do I do the Pre-Hire checklist?

You will need to complete the Pre-Hire checklist with the hirer at the handover/ commencement of the hire. Make sure both parties thoroughly inspect the RV during this time to avoid any potential post-hire discrepancies.

  • You will complete the form with the owner and hirer both in attendance.
  • You take photos using your phone camera WHILST you are filling out the checklist on the app. 
  • You are NOT able to take photos before the hire or upload old photos.
