Where do you stay when you relocate with Transfercar?

People who drive with Transfercar come from all walks of life and relocate with us for a huge number of reasons. In our 2013 survey we asked you for stories from your relocations with us and found you liked staying at a number of places in a number of different ways…

1Some of you decide to sleep on the go inside one of our camper-vans

“We used Melbourne cup weekend to have a minibreak to new zealand and transfered a camper from christchurch to auckland the weather was miserable but we had a great time and the camper was very cosy.  Loved it” – Genine, New Zealand

 

2Some stay with family

“We have only used Transfercar once, but it was a very enjoyable experience.  We hired a small campervan to travel from Brisbane to Cairns.  Stopping along the way at Gladstone, Airlie Beach, Home Hill and Innisfail. At each stop we caught up with friends or relatives.  Once special point that made the trip memerable was the fact the campervan didn’t have a cd player.  It only had a cassette player.  We were able to call in at home before we left and find some of our old tapes to listen to on the trip.    When we reached Cairns the drop off was very easy and we enjoyed the experience.  We then stayed in Cairns for about another 10 days with relatives.   I would recommend using Transfercar for any trip in Australia.  It is a great way to get first hand knowledge on how big this country is.” – Brad, Australia

 

3Other drivers like to visit exotic or interesting hotels

“We arrived in Auckland with a parcel we were carrying for someone there – he helped us get to the depot ( we didn’t know Auckland) then took us on a tour of part of Auckland – with full commentary before taking us straight to our hotel. Made us feel most welcome!” – Margaret, New Zealand

 

4And beach-lovers visit their favourite sun & surf spots

“Drove from Melbourne to Sydney, camped at beaches along the way” – David, Australia

 

 

5But some drivers are just ADVENTUROUS and go where the wind takes them!

“This is our typical holiday, book a flight to a destination and the wait and see where a transfercar will take us.  Our last holiday we wen from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island and then back to Adelaide and all the way to Uluru.  We love the adventure of not knowing exactly where we are going.  It is like a holiday lottery.  Love the service of transfercar a.  We are 100% happy customers even though we had a slight hiccup at the end of our travels” – Kathy, Australia

How to score a cheap road trip

from Fairfax New Zealand wrote about How to Score A Cheap Road Trip.

Back in August, surveyor Taryn Martin and a couple of mates took off in a hired van for a wee road trip around the West Coast.

They jumped out of planes in Queenstown, hiked up Fox Glacier, and toasted marshmallows at the Cardrona Pub.

“It was wicked,” says Martin.

How much did Jucy charge the band of adventurers to hire an eight-seater people mover? A grand total of $3.

Tips on Renting a free motorhome with Transfercar

Motorhome in the parkThere’s nothing better than travelling in a Motorhome. It’s like taking your house with you while you explore new horizons. Rain or shine, hot or cold, motorhomes allow travellers the freedom of safe and comfortable travelling no matter where you decide to go (well nearly).

In New Zealand and Australia you have a smorgasbord of Motorhome Rentals to choose from. Some larger than others, some easier to drive and then all the variant possibilities in between.

They are quite different than campervans, in as much as motorhomes are self contained (have a shower and toilet) as well as a kitchen, often a fridge, hot and cold water and large sleeping berths. As easy as they are to drive, you still need to know a few good tips before embarking on your exciting journey.

Here’s a few things worth knowing about motorhome rentals I have found from some global experts: Continue reading Tips on Renting a free motorhome with Transfercar
