Britz and Apollo have the depot network. JUCY has the price point. Let's Go has the newest fleet. Here's how they actually stack up against each other.
The Four Operators At A Glance
Britz and Apollo are siblings — both owned by Tourism Holdings Limited (thl) — running the largest depot networks in the country with the widest model range, from budget campervans through to 4WD-capable motorhomes. JUCY runs a leaner, budget-to-mid fleet across six airport-adjacent depots, split between the core JUCY range and the retro-styled budget Chill'd sub-brand. Let's Go Motorhomes is the newest entrant of the four — the Jayco group's rental arm, built entirely from Jayco's own manufacturing line rather than third-party conversions.
Fleet Age And Build Consistency
This is where Let's Go's pitch is strongest. Because every vehicle comes from Jayco's own factory rather than being sourced and converted by a rental operator, the fleet has a level of build consistency the other three can't fully match — every Let's Go vehicle is automatic, and every one carries a 120W solar panel as standard. Britz and Apollo run larger, more varied fleets that include manual options and 4WD-capable vehicles Let's Go doesn't offer at all — a real advantage if your trip involves unsealed roads.
Insurance Structure
All four operators use the same underlying model — a low included tier with a large bond, and paid upgrades that reduce your liability — but the shape differs:
- Britz: Three tiers (Low Road, High Road, Value Pack), topping out around $60/day with full windscreen, tyre, overhead and underbody cover at the highest tier.
- Apollo: Four tiers (Low, Middle, High Road, Value Pack), broadly mirroring Britz given the shared ownership, also reaching full overhead/underbody cover at the top.
- JUCY: Three tiers (Standard, Liability Reduction, Stress Free/Stress Free Plus), capped at 14 days, with rollover and roof/pod cover specific to their rooftop-pod vehicles.
- Let's Go: Five tiers (Bronze through Platinum Plus) — the most granular of the four — but notably, even the top Platinum Plus tier never covers overhead or underbody damage, unlike Britz and Apollo's top tier.
If overhead/underbody protection matters to you specifically, Britz or Apollo's Value Pack covers ground that no Let's Go tier reaches. If a lower bond and more granular control over daily spend matters more, Let's Go's five-tier structure gives finer choice.
Depot Network
Britz and Apollo run the most extensive networks of the four, covering major cities and regional gateway towns across the country. Let's Go operates 14 depots nationwide — a genuinely large network for a newer brand, and larger than JUCY's six airport-adjacent locations. If your trip involves a less common pickup or drop-off city, check depot coverage for your specific route before comparing price.
Minimum Driver Age
JUCY sets its minimum age at 18 — one of the most accessible policies in the Australian market, where 21 or 25 is typical. Let's Go, Britz and Apollo generally require drivers to be older, with young-driver surcharges common under 25; confirm the exact age policy for your chosen vehicle at the time of booking, as this varies by model and can change.
Which One Actually Suits You
Choose Let's Go if you want the newest possible vehicle, guaranteed automatic transmission, and don't need 4WD or off-road capability.
Choose Britz or Apollo if you want the widest model range, the largest depot network, or you need a 4WD-capable vehicle.
Choose JUCY if minimum age or budget is your primary constraint and you're comfortable with a smaller, more compact fleet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Let's Go Motorhomes more expensive than Britz or Apollo?
Pricing varies by season, route and vehicle — compare live quotes for your specific dates rather than relying on general positioning, but Let's Go is generally marketed as a mid-to-premium operator.
Which of the four has the most automatic vehicles?
Let's Go Motorhomes is fully automatic across its entire fleet — every one of its 11 models. Britz, Apollo and JUCY all include automatic options but also run some manual vehicles within their broader ranges.
Does Let's Go Motorhomes offer 4WD vehicles?
No — Let's Go's range is entirely 2WD campervans and motorhomes. Britz and Apollo both offer dedicated 4WD-capable vehicles for off-road travel.
Which operator has the lowest minimum driver age?
JUCY, at 18 years old — younger than the typical 21–25 minimum most other Australian operators, including Let's Go, set for at least some of their fleet.
