Up for hire is our beautiful Jayco Expanda 16.49 ft pop top caravan. It is like new inside. Not a mark on it. Air-Con/heating and fully fitted out with Espresso coffee machine, TV and DVD player and library of 75 DVD's. Quality items like Breville toaster, new crockery, cutlery, saucepans and fry pans.

Lots of extras like running hot water. Optional extra: Portable toilet with pop-up enclosure and 240 volt hot water shower. Enough room to sleep 5 adults and 1 child (bed 1150mm long). Extra tool box.

Just bring your own bedding. Queen bed at front, double at rear and full single when table is put down then another smaller bed 1.15m long when table is lowered. We live in Ivanhoe, Melbourne so very central and as I am retired I can arrange weekday or after hours pickup. Commercial operators will normally not allow pickup of drop off over weekends or after hours, we do. This could same you one or two days hire fees. I can offer you free hire of our portable brake controller which will save you $500 to $700 getting one installed on your car. The van is very easy to tow and has a low Ball Weight of only 132 kg when empty. If it's your first time towing I’m happy to take you around the block and pass on a few tips. I'll also loan you our towing mirrors, no charge. Just phone Brian on 0403 204320. Full insurance included in the quoted price. Costing is from $69/day for week days outside holiday periods. Optional Extras: Full Annex, New Portable 10L toilet & external pop-up toilet/shower enclosure & 12V portable shower & 12V Deep Cycle battery and solar panel.

Please note that unlike us, our competitors often charge extra for:
1) Hire of Towing Mirror ($20.00) --- FREE WITH US.
2) TV and DVD hire $40.00/week) --- FREE WITH US.
3) Although they may say "Insurance is included", when you arrive to collect the caravan they request you sign a credit card imprint authorizing them to collect the first $5000.00 or $7000.00! BOND OF $850.00 WITH US, $7000.00 WITH OUR COMPETITORS. I don't call that insurance if you have to pay the first $7000. For about $200 extra our competition will lower the insurance excess! No extra with us and we are the lowest insurance excess in Melbourne. That is the limit of your liability.

See our second listing on Private Caravan Hire for hiring our Jayco Discovery which sleeps two, plus a child and 3 extra can sleep on the stretcher beds included with the annex. Same cost and double bed is within caravan space, not folded out like with the Jayco Expanda.

Also we have just purchased a Toyota Hiace Campervan which sleeps 3 from $69.00 per day.

After renting caravans for 8 years now I have developed a policy of trusting others and if you give trust to others they will return the trust. This has been my experience and both my wife Kathryn and I offer a very friendly and helpful service 24/7. We will render any assistance possible to make your trip away a very enjoyable one. I guarantee I will be the lowest price in Victoria for a similar quality caravan and you find this is not the case please contact me and I will lower my prices accordingly. I'm very happy to supply any number of references from those who have used our hire services.
