4 reviews about Apollo Motorhomes

18 Nov 2021

My friend and I rented a Hi-Top Motor Home for 4 weeks and drove from Darwin to Perth. I couldn’t recommend Apollo Motor Home more. They were so professional and helpful with any queries we had. We had no issues with our vehicle, it drove so smoothly and we felt safe. Mel in Perth made our return drop off so easily and efficient. 5/5 stars from me!

Me and my 4 girlfriends traveled WA in the campervan and had the most amazing trip. The campervan was reliable and easy to drive. There was also a lot of space in the van for our luggage and for all 4 of us which was very important for a comfortable and relaxing trip.
Would recommend to anyone and would definitely do it again ourselves

- Bed fell twice (with me on top) while sleeping due to bad maintenance of the interior of the vehicle.

- Return staff are looking for dishonest ways to charge you more money upon the return of the vehicle. I was told that the car was in 'unacceptable' condition upon return of the vehicle because of a road splash. In my view such a 'splash' is completely normal for a place like the Northern Territory where almost all look-outs and national parks require driving for a bit on dirt roads (allowed under the terms if its a short distance), and it is unreasonable to consider such a splash as being 'unacceptable'. This was NOT excessive dirt or mud, and having to go clean it (to avoid several hundred dollars of penalty charges) after having spent 6 hours driving and over an hour cleaning the interior was VERY unwelcomed.

Particularly in light of the statement in the contract:

"The RV Exterior does not require cleaning unless it's covered with excessive dirt or mud, making it difficult for our team to see its return condition"

- Pickup staff tries to sell you insurance that costs almost as much as the car rental upon pickup, even after telling them you are not interested

Approximate cost: $600

We hired a campervan to do a 2000km road trip in WA. We picked the campervan up from the Apollo in Perth.

The campervan rental lot was quite close to the airport - close enough that we walked there to pick up the camper with our suitcases from the airport - though on the way back to the airport we wimped out and got a taxi as it was raining! Easy walking distance with suitcases and we're not super fit athletes.

We had to wait a bit for the van to be ready, but there was coffee/tea while we waited so it wasn't too bad. The campervan was clean and tidy, well maintained. They gave us an ok overview of the camper before we left - they didn't show us everything but then we weren't going to be putting it through all it's paces so that was ok. We could have asked for more detail and they'd have obliged I'm sure.

The van was reasonably priced, we chose the instead of hire car and accomodation costs at our destination, so it worked out cheaper. We didn't know at the time as we'd prebooked an apollo van online, but they also run a company called cheapa campa, which offer the same campervans as apollo, but these are the vans which have nicks/scrapes after a few years service as apollo vans. If I'd known I'd have gone with the cheapa campa, but still have no complaints about the Apollo.

We had a dingle with the apollo (driving in pitch black countryside to position the van for us to tuck in for the night, I reversed it into a tree with a protruding branch stump!). There was just a fist sized dent in the rear bumper - but we'd paid the $50 odd dollars when we rented it to mitigate the larger insurance excess, so I think it only cost me a further $40ish admin fee when we returned for them to process all paperwork to fix. I'd been worried that it wouldn't be covered or there'd be issues - but it was all sorted no muss, no fuss.
