Tullamarine Airport also has an hourly bus service called the Gull Bus which currently runs to Geelong city or Train Station.

From the bus stops you can catch a taxi, uber or bus to us.  If you are catching a bus to our area please let us know so we can collect you from a local bus stop.

Please be specific in the Enquiry Form *Destination eg needs to be the furtherest stop you plan to go not just Great Ocean Road or East Coast.

We allow our vans to travel in Victoria, NSW, South Australia, ACT and maybe QLD.

Not many people will hand their keys over to strangers but we trust you and appreciate you taking your time to travel and treat our vans with love so that they will continue to stay on our roads for generations to come.

If you take the option to return by 9am you must stay within 50km of our home.  You aren’t allowed to travel 200km on this last morning.  We need the kombi returned by 9am unless otherwise organised so we have time to prepare for the next customer. 

All our kombi’s run on Unleaded Petrol 98 only.  If you desperately need fuel and this isn’t available we ask you put enough Unleaded 95 to get you to the next stop and then fuel up again with this higher class petrol as it will get you further in km’s and the engines will love you forever.  A poor quality fuel could be extremely harmful to their engines.

We start you with a full tank of fuel when you pick up our kombi and you must return with a full tank from Caltex, Ocean Grove on Shell or Grubb Road.  If you are traveling along the coast please fuel at major stops for eg Torquay, Lorne and Apollo Bay, Timboon.  Smaller coastal towns may not have 98.

If you do not return with a full tank we will ask you to go out and fill it up or if you have transport to catch we will charge your credit card for the cost + $20 for our time.

Yes you are covered by full comprehensive insurance however please be prepared to pay $2000 – $5000 excess if anything should happen to the kombi.  All drivers must be over 21 and have their drivers licence with them when collecting the van and must give us a credit card for a security authorization on the day of hire.  The van can not leave our premises until the DRIVER gives us a security authorization or allows their credit card details to be noted.

The other brilliant option is to grab Excess Insurance Cover before your hire from www.rentalcover.com.au this will ensure you get your money in the case of an accident.

Absolutely but they are also over 40 years old.  We have a qualified kombi mechanic check the kombi before and after each trip.  You must stop immediately if you hear, feel or smell something different with your kombi and call us anytime of the day or night and we will arrange for your kombi to be fixed.

Please DO NOT try and repair anything without consulting us first and if you can’t reach us after calling please send a text message and we will return your call asap.   If you are a mechanic or know old cars please still call us first.
