Flydrive motorhomes

Do you dream of hitting the open road on a journey of adventure?

Enjoy the freedom of a motorhome (known in the USA as an RV, or recreational vehicle) as an alternative to our featured city and resort hotels.

A motorhome offers incomparable independence. You can spend as much or as little time in each place as you choose, as you move from town to town, from national park to national park, discovering the wonders of this enormous country.

You can pick up your vehicle from destinations across North America. At the end of your holiday, you can either take your vehicle back to where you picked it up, or, if you requested a one-way rental, you can leave it at a different destination.

Driver requirements

RVs are available for hire if you are at least 21 years of age and hold a valid driver’s licence. There is no charge for an additional driver. However, they are required to sign the rental contract.

Security deposits

You are required to leave a US$500 deposit at the time of pick-up for El Monte. The deposit needs to be guaranteed with an authorisation on a credit card. This deposit is automatically released upon completion of the return contract, provided the vehicle is returned clean inside, undamaged and on time.

Familiarisation

When you pick up your motorhome you will receive a full orientation of the vehicle, and will be shown your maintenance and usage responsibilities. Orientation consists of a video introducing the concepts of motorhome use, as well as a personal walk-around of the motorhome with a qualified instructor. Operator manuals are provided.

Maintenance

You are responsible for routine maintenance whilst travelling (coolant, oil, tyre pressure) as well as reporting mechanical failures.

Vehicle support

You are ensured peace of mind with a dedicated roadside assistance service should you experience any breakdown.

Route plan/parking

Remember when planning your route that parking restrictions will apply; these will vary from state to state. Overnight, RVs should only stop in recognised campsites or authorised rest areas. With city, scenic and remote locations to choose from, this is your chance to plan your ultimate holiday. Also be aware that some destinations are unsuitable for RVs, eg Death Valley.

Pick-up/drop-off

Pick-up time is between 1.00pm and 4.00pm. There is no refund available for late pick-up or early return of the vehicle. Unless agreed by prior arrangement with the rental office, clients will be charged a penalty of minimum US$50 per hour for any returns after 11.00am on the day of return for rentals in the States.
