The rental company

Apollo, an Australian rental company from the coast to the Outback

Apollo is a recreational vehicle rental brand founded in Australia, in Queensland, and part of the thl group (Tourism Holdings) since 2022, which also operates Britz, Maui and Mighty. Its Australian depots are not limited to the major coastal cities, Sydney (two sites), Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth: it can also be found in Cairns, Darwin and Hobart, in the heart of the continent at Alice Springs, and in Broome, gateway to the Kimberley.

The range covers almost every use. The Hitop and Endeavour campervans are aimed at couples, the Euro series brings together overcab and low-profile motorhomes sleeping two to six, and the off-road Adventure Camper, Trailfinder, X-Terrain or Overland Camper models are designed for dirt tracks. Most models have an automatic gearbox; a few 4x4s remain manual.

The rental company advertises 24-hour roadside assistance, options to reduce the excess and one-way hires between its depots. Mileage, excess and security deposit vary by vehicle: read them in each offer.

Our verdict: a network that reaches the Red Centre and the North West, and a fleet varied enough to go from a two-seat campervan to a 4x4. On the other hand, security deposit and cancellation terms need close study, and compact campervans struggle to fit bulky luggage.

Our view

Apollo: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Apollo is ideal if…

  • You want to start in the Red Centre or the Kimberley, from Alice Springs or Broome
  • You are looking for a 4x4 with a roof tent to leave the tarmac behind
  • You are travelling as a group of five or six and have your eye on a Euro Deluxe overcab
  • You dream of a north-south crossing, for example from Darwin to Adelaide, without returning to your starting point
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox for driving on the left

Apollo is not ideal if…

  • You plan to drive on dirt tracks with a two-wheel-drive campervan or motorhome
  • You are heading for the Top End or the Kimberley in the height of the wet season, from November to April
  • You are travelling as a couple with large suitcases in a compact campervan
  • You need to be able to cancel at the last minute free of charge
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Apollo

  1. Check the gearbox

    Almost the entire Apollo fleet is listed as automatic, but the Overlander, the Adventure Camper and the Trailfinder appear as manual. If you have never driven on the left with a gear lever on your left, preferably choose an automatic model.

  2. Time the North for the dry season

    For a departure from the Top End, the Kimberley or tropical Queensland, go for the dry months, roughly from May to October. The rest of the year, humid heat and floods cut off some dirt roads, such as the famous Gibb River Road. The South and Tasmania are better suited to the southern summer.

  3. Read the list of permitted roads

    A 4x4 does not give access to every track: the rental company’s terms generally specify the roads that are prohibited or subject to approval. Two-wheel-drive campervans and motorhomes, for their part, are designed for sealed roads. Check your route before choosing the vehicle.

  4. Walk round the vehicle at departure

    Before leaving the depot, photograph the bodywork and windscreen, test the gas, water and fridge, and compare the inventory with the list provided. Also save the assistance number in your phone: on long stretches of the Outback, there is often no mobile signal.

  5. Plan the security deposit and measure the distances

    Make sure your bank card limit covers the deposit, and read the offer’s cancellation terms. Allow plenty of time for each leg: about 1,500 km separate Alice Springs from Darwin via the Stuart Highway, and more than 2,000 km link Perth to Broome.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Apollo

Which Apollo motorhome should I choose for the Outback?

For dirt tracks, look at the 4x4s with roof tents, the Overland Camper, Overlander, Vivid or X-Terrain, which sleep up to four people, or the Adventure Camper and Trailfinder pop-top campervans for two. Departures from Alice Springs, Darwin or Broome put you straight on the edge of the desert or the Kimberley. Check the permitted tracks in the terms.

Can you do a one-way hire with Apollo in Australia?

The rental company advertises one-way hires between its depots, which opens up great journeys: Cairns-Brisbane along the Queensland coast, Darwin-Alice Springs via the Stuart Highway or Perth-Broome along the west coast. Fees may be added. Enter a different arrival city in the CoolDrive search: only vehicles available for that journey are displayed.

How much does Apollo hire cost in Australia?

The Apollo rate depends on the season, the length of hire, the vehicle and the departure depot; a one-way hire may add fees. Australian school holidays and the dry season in the North are the busiest periods. Run a search with your dates and your city: the amount displayed includes mandatory fees.

What is the difference between a Hitop campervan and a Euro motorhome?

The Hitop models are high-roof campervans for two, easy to park and economical over long distances. The Euro series brings together roomier motorhomes: the Euro Camper, Euro Slider, Euro Star and Euro Quest offer four berths, the Euro Deluxe six. The smallest Euro models, the Mini, Tourer and Plus, are two-seat campervans.

Do you need a special licence to drive an Apollo?

Generally, a car licence is enough for the listed Apollo models, including the overcab motorhomes. If it is not in English, bring an international driving permit or an official translation. Minimum age and length of licence holding: both requirements are stated offer by offer. Remember: in Australia, you drive on the left, and the distances between cities are considerable.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Apollo campervan and motorhome hire in Australia

Why book Apollo with CoolDrive?

A single search sets Apollo vehicles against those of other Australian rental companies, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. Each offer details the mileage, excess and options, which avoids surprises at the counter. Our experts help you choose the model and the depot, and the packs offered by CoolDrive come with your booking.

What excess and security deposit should you expect with Apollo?

The base excess depends on the vehicle and is shown in each offer. The rental company offers options to reduce it, to be compared according to your route, especially if you are planning dirt tracks. The security deposit is usually held on the main driver’s credit card; check your limit a few days before you leave.

When should you travel with Apollo in northern Australia?

From Darwin, Broome or Cairns, aim for the dry season, from May to October: clear skies, bearable temperatures and open roads. Between November and April, the monsoon brings violent storms, muggy air and track closures. For Alice Springs, the southern winter offers mild days, but nights in the desert can be cold.

How do you hire an Apollo motorhome in Tasmania?

Apollo has a depot in Hobart, at Cambridge, near the airport: arriving by plane, you collect the vehicle on site. The ferry from Melbourne is another option, but first check in the terms that the rental company allows it. The island can be explored well in one to two weeks, from Freycinet National Park to Cradle Mountain.

What equipment should you add to an Apollo hire?

Apollo vehicles have the essentials for cooking and sleeping, with a shower and toilet in the motorhomes. The rental company offers optional bed linen, kitchen kits and camping gear, such as tables and chairs. It is best to book them at the same time as the vehicle: they will be waiting for you at the depot.

Where are the Apollo depots in Sydney?

Apollo has two sites in Sydney. The first is in Banksmeadow, on Botany Road, south of the centre and not far from the international airport. The second is located at Bankstown Airport, in the west of the metropolitan area. The exact address of your depot and its opening hours are shown in the offer and then in the confirmation.
