Camplify promo codes and coupon codes in November 2026

A quote has four parts.

• The hire fee is the owner's daily rate times the number of days, not nights.

• The service fee is a one-off, owner-set charge for cleaning, restocking and wear and tear. Some owners set it to $0 and build it into the daily rate.

• Owners price optional extras and delivery, so linen, a generator or campsite drop-off can quickly cancel out a lower rate.

• The 10.5% booking fee applies to the hire fee and optional extras, not the service fee.

For example, for $1,000 in hire fees, the booking fee alone is $105. A van $10 a day cheaper can still cost more on a two- or three-day trip if its service fee is high. So, judge the full quote for your dates. That's also the total a Camplify promo code should bring down.

Every booking includes damage protection and 24/7 nationwide roadside assistance. Your excess depends on the Accident Excess Reduction (AER) package, from $5 per day.

• Risk Taker is the default, with a $0 to $5,500 excess per incident depending on the RV and the holiday, and no cover for tyres, windscreens, awnings or annexes.

• Happy Camper widens the inclusions, cuts the excess to between $500 and $0 per event depending on the hire type, and can be added any time before the trip starts.

• Drivers under 25 pay an extra $600 excess that no package reduces.

• No package covers reckless damage (overhead strikes, unsecured awnings, off-road driving without the owner's written approval), your belongings or personal injury, so you'd need travel insurance for those.

Happy Camper usually earns its keep on a long, high-mileage hire. A Stay hire parked at one campsite carries far less risk.

Most vans are booked by request. You choose a hire type (Drive, Deliver, Tow, Stay or Drive to Tow) and an excess package, chat with the owner and send the request without being charged. Owners usually reply within 48 hours. Approved bookings left unpaid cancel automatically after 72 hours, though the site advises paying within 48 hours as many owners cancel sooner.

"Instant Book" vans skip approval at no extra cost, but ID and licence checks and the owner's rules on age, dates and trip length still apply.

Owners can lower their daily rate before accepting, so a request is your chance to haggle, especially in quieter weeks. On a peak weekend, Instant Book stops someone from grabbing a popular van while you wait.

Book more than 30 days before the trip starts, and you pay a 25% deposit, with the balance charged to the same card 30 days before departure. Within 30 days, the full amount is due at once, with no part payments.

Most bookings also need a security deposit, usually held on your card rather than charged. The amount varies by RV, is shown before you book and is released once the hire is settled.

Booking early spreads the cost, but keep enough on that card for the balance and the hold so the automatic charge doesn't fail just before you leave.

Each owner picks a Flexible or Strict cancellation policy, shown on the listing, and it matters more than a few dollars a day if your plans might change.

• Flexible gives 100% back as Camplify Credit more than 10 days out. From 4 to 10 days out, you lose the booking fee plus 10% of the booking value, and the rest becomes credit. Under 4 days, you get nothing.

• Strict uses the same split for more than 45 days, 20 to 45 days and under 20 days.

• Cancellations only count on the platform, not by phone or email.

• Credit pays for part or all of a later booking. Refunding it from your booking page costs a $25 admin fee per booking (usually waived if the owner cancels) and can take up to 14 days.

Cancelling an example $1,200 Flexible booking a week out costs the booking fee plus $120, while Strict costs the lot. If you travel again, holding onto the credit avoids the $25 fee.

To move your dates after paying, sign in, select "Bookings", open the trip under "Upcoming" and choose "Change dates" in "Manage your Booking", where you can also edit extras. The owner approves every change.

Extensions are requested in your account during the trip, if the van's free. Once approved, your card is charged automatically, and if that fails, the end date reverts. Shortening a trip can trigger the cancellation policy on the dropped days.

Since only the owner has to agree, moving dates usually costs far less than cancelling and rebooking inside the policy window, so ask early.

The long-term savings come from owners, not the platform, and many rent vans out for anything from a week to a few months. Owners can set tiered discounts for chosen trip lengths and travel periods, applied automatically in the booking flow with no Camplify discount code needed. Tiers differ by owner, so quoting 13 and 14 days, for example, shows whether a slightly longer hire earns a better rate. If a van shows no tier, ask the owner before you request, since a guaranteed long booking appeals in quieter months.

The app lets you search, book and manage trips, add extras and message the owner. Owners use it to record the van's condition before and after the hire, and that record is where the app saves you money.

Be there at pickup and take your own photos. They're your evidence if existing damage is questioned and can decide whether your security deposit comes back in full. The app also helps you grab short-notice gaps, when owners with an idle van sometimes drop their rate rather than leave it parked.

Your membership level decides how much you keep. Commission is charged on each booking, including booking and service fees.

• Flexible members pay no subscription and 16% commission, with on-hire protection for up to 40 rental days a year.

• Personal members pay an annual fee, mostly use the RV themselves and pay 16% on up to 40 hire days a year.

• Premium members pay a subscription based on the RV's value, annually or monthly, and 7% commission with unlimited hires.

• BYO members use their own insurer and pay 12.5% commission.

Premium needs your RV listed at least 90 days a year and on no other platform. It adds store discounts, partner offers, priority for local PR and media, a spot on Camplify's local tourism page and eligibility for MyWay Protect damage cover through MyWay Mutual, on hire and for personal use. Both Personal and Premium members get discounts on fuel, stays, services and gear.

For example, $10,000 of bookings a year, 16% is $1,600 and 7% is $700. Premium only pays off when that $900 gap beats the subscription quoted for your RV.

Owner set prices peak in school holidays, long weekends and high summer, while midweek and shoulder season trips usually cost less per day. If your dates can shift even a few days, quote both.

The platform has also run sitewide sales, where participating owners choose a percentage or dollar discount off their rate and fees (not the booking fee or AER), locked in only once you pay. A verified account and a ready shortlist let you pay fast when a sale or new Camplify promo code goes live.

Each owner, not Camplify, sets the kilometre allowance, and the hirer rules charge you for any kilometres over it. Some listings cap daily distance, so a cheap van with a tight cap can end up dearer than a pricier one with a generous allowance. Map your route with a buffer for side trips before you choose. On a Deliver or Stay hire, where the van stays at a campsite, the daily rate matters more.

These hirer rules decide how much of your security deposit comes back after the trip.

• Return a drivable RV at the pickup fuel level, or you'll pay for refuelling.

• Leave it clean unless you prepaid cleaning, and don't smoke in a non-smoking van, which adds cleaning charges.

• Pay tolls and parking fines yourself, or Camplify charges a $50 administration fee to recover them.

• Return on time, as each late day costs the daily rate.

• Stop if you get a flat tyre, since driving on it makes you liable for the resulting damage too.

Each charge is small, but together they can wipe out your checkout savings.

Owners can create codes for past hirers, and many use them to win repeat bookings. After a good trip, ask before handing back the keys whether they offer anything for coming back, since a hirer who looked after the van is a low-risk booking. These codes can be limited to certain travel dates and carry an expiry date, so they're most useful when you already know roughly when you'll travel again.
