About This Company
Slow down the pace and drive a VW Kombi from a small family-owned campervan business in Marcus Hill. The company rents out colorful, bright, and older campervans, which are ideal for undemanding travellers not looking for frills.
Hire A Kombi is a husband and wife team that lets travellers drive a vintage van in the modern era of motorhomes. This means that you explore the scenic Australian routes in a slow-paced adventure. The company allows rental of campervans for camping, marketing, photoshoots, and more. Their pickup and dropoff station is located in Marcus Hill. Vans can be transported to another location but at your own cost.
Even if this is a home business, the owners make sure that they offer a wide range of rental vehicles. Their fleet is consist of vividly hued VW Kombis that are older than most motorhomes on the road. These 1970's classic campers run on unleaded petrol 98 only and come with a maximum 200km per day travel allowance. Take note that you are driving a vintage van, hence little hiccups are quite normal.
Harriett isn't for a camping adventure, though you can rent this 8-seater, automatic campervan for any photoshoot occasion. This automatic VW Kombi Melbourne Victoria is recommended for wedding pictorials because of its laid-back yet elegant exterior.
Rental already includes comprehensive insurance but take note of the insurance excess amounting to $2000 for drivers 25 years and over and $5000 for 21 to 24 years old. Upon vehicle pickup, driver's must provide a security authorization or details from their credit card. The company provides extra insurance option from Rental Cover to guarantee that your money will be returned in case of an accident.
Just like driving any vintage van, these models entail extended effort and patience. This might not suit well to fancy travellers who want all bells and whistles, though the units are well equipped with camping essentials including an awning and camping chairs. These campervans are ideal for simple adventurers who wouldn't mind slowing down their pace and enjoy the scenic views. Couples and families get to enjoy the great interior set up that would make you think twice that these are over 40 years old campervans.
Keeping the Kombi dreams alive, Hire A Kombi continues to rent out their show-stopper, vintage vans for a rather unique and laidback road trip.
