Reputation   

Advance Campervans Rental is actually a small company compared to Aussie Campervans Rental, Apollo Car Rentals, Jucy Car Rental and Camperavan Hire.

And since it is small family-owned business, some customers think that their vehicles are a bit old and may not be advisable for a very long drive. However, the company gives another quote for a new car. The bottom line is Advance Campervans Rental is a nice option if you are looking for a more personalized and cheap campervan rental.
