Let's Go Motorhomes

About Let's Go Motorhomes

Let's Go Motorhomes is one of the few rental operators in Australia that can credibly claim to have the newest fleet in the industry. The average vehicle age sits at two to four years. When a vehicle hits three years old, they start planning its replacement. That is a genuine commitment to fleet age — not a marketing line.

The company operates under the Jayco umbrella. Jayco is Australia's largest manufacturer of recreational vehicles, and Let's Go is their rental arm. Every vehicle in the fleet is Jayco-built. That means a consistent standard, factory-fresh fit-outs, and direct access to Jayco's national service network of 90-plus dealer and repair centres if something goes wrong on the road.

Formerly known as Around Australia Motorhomes. The rebrand brought fresh branding and a significant fleet upgrade. The product has improved noticeably since the name change.

Fleet

Eleven models across two categories: campervans and motorhomes. The campervan range — Tourer, Escape, Atlas, and Adventurer — runs on Renault Master, Fiat Ducato, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. All automatic. The motorhome range — Roamer, Grandiose, Quatro, Royale (4-berth), Excursion, Royale (6-berth), and Journey — is bigger and better equipped, with full bathrooms, walk-through layouts, and proper-sized kitchens.

Every vehicle in the fleet has an automatic transmission. 120W solar panels are fitted across the range. All linen is included: bedding, towels, bath mat, tea towels. Camping chairs and a table are standard. GPS is available on request. No credit card surcharge. Price match guarantee if you find a lower quote. Unlimited kilometres.

The Journey 6-berth and the Tourer 2-berth are pet-friendly. These are the only two models that allow animals on board — confirm with reservations before booking if this matters to your trip.

Branch Network

Fourteen depots across Australia: Sydney (Lansvale), Melbourne (Tullamarine), Brisbane (Geebung), Adelaide (Mile End South), Perth (Kewdale), Darwin (Winnellie), Hobart (Cambridge), Cairns (Edmonton), Townsville, Coffs Harbour, Geelong (Newcomb), Broome, Canberra (Queanbeyan), and Gippsland (Bairnsdale). That is the most comprehensive branch network of any motorhome operator in Australia.

Main reservations line is 1800 538 746. Some branches have direct lines — Hobart, Geelong, Townsville, and Coffs Harbour each have their own numbers. Hobart is the only location open seven days.

One-way hire is available between all branches. One-way fees: $149 for most routes; $249 for Cairns routes and Perth/Darwin routes. If you are doing a straight Sydney-to-Cairns run, you do not need to double back.

Insurance

Five tiers. Bronze is included at no extra cost but carries a $5,000 damage exposure and requires a $5,000 refundable deposit — most travellers should not be sitting on that kind of hold. Silver ($39/day) halves the exposure to $2,500. Gold ($49/day) drops it to $1,250. Platinum ($77/day, or $119/day for 7–9 day rentals) takes it to $750. Platinum Plus ($130/day) is the zero-excess, no-deposit option.

Worth checking your travel credit card first — many policies include rental vehicle excess cover. If yours does, the lower tiers may be sufficient.

Who Should Book

Book if: You want one of the newest fleets available in Australia without paying at the very top of the market. You need a pet-friendly motorhome. You are doing a multi-city one-way itinerary — fourteen depots gives you the flexibility most operators cannot match. You want all linen, all gear, and an all-automatic fleet without hunting for what is and is not included.

Skip if: You need 4WD capability for unsealed road access. Let's Go is sealed roads only, with limited exceptions for well-maintained access roads. Their insurance does not cover damage on dirt tracks.

Verdict

Let's Go Motorhomes delivers what the marketing says it delivers: modern vehicles, all-inclusive fit-outs, and a branch network that covers the country properly. The Jayco build quality holds up in practice. The fleet age policy means you are not getting unlucky with a decade-old vehicle dressed up with fresh upholstery.

This is a mid-to-premium operator. The quality justifies the pricing. If fleet newness matters to you — and for most first-timers and families it should — Let's Go is the straightforward recommendation.
