COME!

How it all works!

OUR OBJECTIVES

One of our main business objectives is to help Australian Caravan/Camper owners earn extra money for their families by hiring out their Caravan/Camper when they are just sitting around collecting dust, wasting space and not being used at all (which is around 80% to 90% of privately owned Caravans/Campers!)

2

We work very hard to ensure that Caravan/Camper owners feel 100% confident, reassured and safe about the process that involves their beautiful mobile home being hired out by ‘anyone’ and taken anywhere across Australia.

Many thanks for your enquiry about becoming a potential Hire partner and joining our fabulous business that is making many Aussie Caravan/Camper owners A LOT of extra money all year round. A number of our Hire partners have even purchased brand new Caravans or Campers and are using them as mobile investment properties!! There really is no easier/low risk way to make some extra money than hiring out your Caravan/Camper when you are not using it!! Please read the following information to see how you can get started with us today.

WHY DO HIRERS PAY A BOND?

The $1000 bond that hirers pay upfront will cover the insurance excess on any possible insurance claim that would need to be made so the Caravan/Camper owners would be given the bond if any claim ever had to be made meaning that Caravan/Camper owners would never be out of pocket if this unfortunate scenario was ever to occur. The Bond also covers the cost of any minor repairs resulting from Hire outs. We also have strict ‘cleaning inside and outside’ policies in our terms and conditions that state that the Hirers MUST ensure that the Caravans/Campers are cleaned properly inside and outside before being returned otherwise they will forfeit portions of their bond for various non-‐cleaning compliance.

SECURITY MEASURES TAKEN FOR EACH HIRER PRIOR TO THE CARAVAN/CAMPER BEING HIRED OUT Before a Caravan/Camper is hired out to anyone, the following security measures are taken to ensure the credibility of the Hirer.

We require from each driver/s: § Copies of Drivers License § Copies of the towing vehicle comprehensive

insurance policy § Copies of the Hirers credit card/Medicare details § Photos of Towing vehicle tow hitch set up

We also do: § Online vehicle registration checks

AND for added peace of mind: § NO driver under the age of 25 is permitted to tow

any of our Caravans/Campers.

QUALITY OF OUR HIRERS

The quality of our hirers has always been of the highest standard. These people are usually trying before they buy, have owned Caravans/Campers before but have either sold up and looking for another model to upgrade to, or downsize from a family van to one suitable for a couple.

So it is certainly worth mentioning to you that we attract a ‘standard’ of people that can:

§ Afford to pay around $100 to $120 per day to hire a Caravan/Camper

§ Pay the required $1000

bond up front

§ Provide suitably rated towing vehicles

2

§ Show respect and care

for all Hire Partners Caravans/Campers

AND

§ Be highly appreciative couples or families who are wanting an amazing caravanning and camping holiday experience

WHAT CARAVAN/CAMPER OWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO DO FOR CARAVAN AND CAMPING HIRE....

In order for us to get your Caravan/Camper listed and ready for people to view online for potential bookings, we need you to do the following: 1. Simply provide us with all of the required details

below and photos of your Caravan/Camper so we can create a professional and thorough listing of your Caravan/Camper (a sample is provided on the following page):

§ Your name § Your location and address § Your mobile phone number § Make of your Caravan/Camper § Model of your Caravan/Camper § Year of your Caravan/Camper § Width of your Caravan/Camper in feet § Length of your Caravan/Camper in feet § Tare Mass & ATM weights of

Caravan/Camper in kgs. § Type of Towing Plug (e.g. 7 or 12 pin flat) § Number of berth of your Caravan/Camper § The suggested nightly hire charge for your

Caravan/Camper (We can advise you) § Fully Enclosed Annex available to Hire?

YES / NO § List of features and inclusions of your

Caravan/Camper Hire package (see sample list)

§ Additional items available to Hire? (Please list them and your requested cost)

§ Email us 8 to 10 good quality internal and external photos of your Caravan/Camper

2. Ensure your Caravans/Campers are well

presented and readily available for potential hirers to view if required.

3. Supply virtually all home away from home

equipment to be available as part of the hire packages. (Please note: Hirers are required to provide their own bedding, linen, food and personal items)

2

4. Provide us with your BSB and Account details so

all Hire Income can be transferred into your accounts on the 2nd day of each Hire period.

5. ALL Caravan/Campers owners are asked to assist

with promoting and advertising of their Hire units being available for Hire in whichever state/area they are located. By this we mean share any ads that we post about your Hire units on Facebook etc, talk about it with others and raise the awareness of how Caravan and Camping Hire is helping Aussie families both Hirers and Hire Partners

6. We require the Caravan/Camper owners to be

the ones to meet and greet the hirers and show them how to set up, operate and pack down things to do with their own Hire units. We have Hire units all over Australia listed with us so we are unable to provide the type of service.

7. We ask Hire partners to prepare a ‘Set up and

Pack Down’ manual and equipment inventory to be left inside your Hire Units for Hirers to refer to while away (We can provide sample copies to adapt to suit your own Caravans/Campers)

8. We always arrange Hirer pick up and drop off

times that are suitable/agreeable with the owners.

9. Post an Ad of Gumtree for your Hire Unit. 70 to

80% of our bookings come from Gumtree so this is a powerful tool. (We will provide you with the exact content to include in your Gumtree Ad)

10. If you decide to come onboard please advise us

ASAP if your Hire unit be available over the Sept, Xmas, Jan and Easter holiday periods because they are the most popular booking times. Please also let us know when you will be using your Caravans/Campers as well for your own holidays

We do all of the above ourselves with our own 2 personally owned caravans, so we cannot advocate it enough and how easy it is to earn a little extra money on the side.

INSURANCE DETAILS FOR YOUR CARAVAN/CAMPER

Both our personal caravans are insured with CIL Insurance. We are not paid for endorsements or commissions in anyway by CIL; we use them simply because they are the ONLY Caravan/Camper insurer that allows you to add a ‘HIRE OUT’ option to your insurance policy. Your insurance is billed per month or annually, and is set up on a Pro-‐Rata basis, which means your insurance is only increased for the time it is hired out. For example, if your van is worth about $35,000 your normal monthly premium is around $50. If you hired out your Caravan/Camper for every single day in a month (which is highly unlikely except over Xmas/New Year) the monthly premium can only go up to a maximum of about $180 per month regardless of the value of the Caravan/Camper. That would equate to being around $4 to $5 per day increase in insurance costs but remember you would be earning around $100 per day in Hire income. So if you hired out your Caravan/Camper for a month, which could earn you around $2000 to $2500, you would only pay a maximum of $180 for insurance cover for that entire one month.

All you need to do is:

1. Ring and have your Caravan/Camper insured with CIL and inform them that you will be hiring out your Caravan/Camper from time to time.

2. Simply ring CIL up when the Caravan/Camper is being hired out. (Activate ‘Hire Out’ policy)

3. Ring CIL back when the Caravan/Camper has come back. (Deactivate ‘Hire Out’ policy)

4. You can even email them the Policy No., Make, Model and Year, your personal details and let them know of the hire out start date. They can backdate the time it started if you happen to have forgotten on the day.

5. You can’t future date it though with the return date, but you can backdate it if you happen to forget to cancel it the day it was returned. So you will only be charged for the actual period of time the Caravan/Camper was out on hire.

Caravan and Camping Hire' is a family owned and run business that operates to help Aussie Caravan/Camper owners not to mislead them in anyway. Ultimately, we want you to be able to make the same easy money that all our other listed private Caravan/Camper owners do all year round. Our business is your business.

Many thanks for taking the time to read through all of this information. Please let us know if you would like to view our legally ratified Owner/Agent Agreement and Hire Agreement that the Hirers are required to sign off on before they can tow any Caravans or Camper trailers away.

We would also love to hear from you if you are unsure about anything to do with hiring out your Caravan or camper trailer.

PORTABLE ELECTRIC BRAKE UNITS (PEBs)

We also sell/hire out our own custom designed Portable Electric Brake Units so that every single caravan/camper that is hired out is towed legally by using portable electric brake units if the towing vehicle is not fitted with any form of hardwired electric braking system.

Some Caravan Owners who have joined our business have also purchased their own portable electric brake units from us. The units only cost $300 and they are hired out for $100 per caravan/camper hire so after 3 hire outs the caravan/camper owners start earning even more money for themselves. We can also loan you a PEB but the $100 hire fee then comes back to us

Please let us know if you would like to purchase your own PEB unit.
