GoCheap Campervan Hire Tasmania

The 3 of us had a great week with our campervan doing a loop of Tasmania. The van drove well and had no mechanical problems. The 2 hob stove and small fridge allowed us to prepare and cook our meals. As expected the sleeping arrangements are a little tight especially as the table top, which is meant to form part of the bed, didn't fit properly but we made do. And whoever takes the top bed has to be agile enough to get up there.Loved our experience and would book again!

Great staff, super obliging and quick - gave us extra blankets for the cold winter weather. Liked their 20c piece policy (no scratches smaller than will count). The van was super comfy and did the job! Only issue was the reverse parking camera didn’t work, and the 240v charger only worked when the van was plugged into a charging station - but that was a feature (not immediately obvious to us when booking) and not a bug. Would book again!

A great way to explore Tasmania but I would choose a different camper company next time.The sales staff were really pushy trying to get you sign up to the maximum insurance and squeeze every last dollar out of you.The camper had a broken front seat, the air conditioning system didn’t work and the table design to convert to a bed was a punish to manuver every morning and night.To top it off - they advised our $5k deposit would be returned within 4 days when we dropped the camper back, and it’s now 12 days later with no sign of it. Not happy at all.

Great and friendly staff, clean vehicles in good condition (for their age - remember the price). Unfortunately, our van broke down, but the roadside assistance was super helpful in organizing a tow truck that took us back to Hobart. Since it was the second to last day, we couldn't get a replacement and got the day and the following immediately refunded instead. It's only when things go wrong that you really start to see how good a company is. 100% recommended, thanks guys!

The stars are for service, the guys were more than helpful. The other two are for the state of the vehicle, found rubbish under mattress indicating it hadn't been clean, mattress was broken down, tv not secured and swung about the place until we tied it down, cupboards jammed, had to use tools to get into for pots which we had to buy, wipers were stuffed had to replace, toilet leaked into the shower. In all fairness if we had BEEN MORE THOROUGH AND contacted them they may have come and attended to these things but who wants to spend your holidays waiting for maintenance when your hours away? Ended up paying for hotel on top of hire as no compensation made so MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EVERYTHING!!!

This was our first motor home holiday and we loved it. Having the space, warmth and comfort of the van made it so easy to pull up when we found a spot. Tassie is so ideal for motor home holidays with natural gems hidden around every corner. We were also surprised to see how accommodating the state, including Hobart, were to getting around in the van.

Be aware that in order to rent these vehicles you will have to pay $25-30 a day in insurance or a $3000 bond with a non refundable $125 administration fee. We’ve been waiting to get our bond back for two weeks, now after contacting them they said it would be another five days.The price is not representative of how much you’ll pay. That’s the bottom line.The vans are also mixed quality. Mechanically great but the interior is old, moldy, and dirty. We had a positive experience when we complained about the leaking window (which soaked our bed) and they were on top of the repair and partial refund.I would have been keen to give them a pretty good review but holding the deposit for near three weeks is ridiculous. Prepare to pay at least $125 more than you think and not have thousands of your dollars in your bank account for weeks.

Overall, we were satisfied with the campervan. It was comfortable, easy to drive and relatively well appointed with kitchen and cleaning equipment. The bed was comfortable enough, however, after 13 nights we are looking forward to a normal bed. It was a great way to travel around Tasmania as we were self sufficient within the van, no need to rely on powered camp sites and could just pull up anywehere without worry.

We had a mixed experience with this company. We recently returned from a 10 day holiday with a campervan we hired via Go Cheap motorhomes which was an older style campervan which had clocked up a lot of KMs. We experienced some issues on our last 2 days when we started getting warnings flash up to check break pads and plugs, the windscreen wipers and in cabin aircon stopped working as well. As we didn't have reception we couldn't call customer care and managed to make it back to Hobart to catch our flight but not without a little bit of worry.Given the age of the vehicle, we still thought it was quite comfortable and most things worked pretty well. We hired one with a shower and toilet which both were very convenient. The kitchen was well set up and had enough to keep us going to cook meals throughout the journey. We had some issues with the fridge when unpowered and called customer care who were very helpful - although they didn't manage to solve the issue they gave us some alternatives to how we used it that kept us going.The main issue we encountered with this company was the front desk staff who were not terribly helpful. On arrival we were asked to sit through a 30 minute video as the staff seemed to want to help as minimally as possible. We were also told that we needed to install our own child seats for our 3 year old (!!) which was very unexpected for a car hire company who should have a focus on the safety of their passengers. They said they were not qualified to do this so we installed the best we could ourselves.On return staff identified a new scuff mark on the cabin and charged $75 on the spot for some sort of admin fee to quote on repair. The staff member who we dealt with was defensive and unhelpful, particularly when we outlined all of the various issues we had with the van. We asked to speak to the manager and he refused, saying we needed to contact customer care which was their policy. After further discussion he relayed that his manager would call us within 48 hours to discuss our issues but would not give us a name or contact to follow up with. Of course the manager never rang us so we escalated via their customer care. They agreed to waive any damage repair fees and refunded us the $75 and full bond as compensation.These few issues soured what was overall a lovely trip traveling Tasmania. Not sure whether we would travel with them again but in the end were satisfied with the outcome but we could have done without the hassle and some better customer service from the front facing staff.

Hired the 2-3 Berth hi top campervan for 7 days and it had everything we needed for 2 people. The staff were also friendly and informative. I would highly recommend Go Cheap/Cruisin if you're considering taking a van around Tassie.
