Seven reasons why your clients will love a motorhome adventure down under

Win a 10-day motorhome rental in Australia or New Zealand with thl

Selling motorhome and campervan holidays for the first time can be daunting. That’s why maui, Apollo and Britz want you to know, they get it! The brands make it easy both for you to book, and for your clients to enjoy, a holiday on the go in Australia and New Zealand’s great outdoors.

The brands are part of the thl group, which also serves the USA, Canada, the UK and Ireland, and offers a wide range of vehicles to suit all needs and budgets.

Here are seven reasons for your clients to take to the open road down under:

1. It’s a home away from home

Perfect for those who loathe packing and unpacking at every stop on a journey, motorhome creature comforts include a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and comfy beds. The maui Ultima and Ultima Plus models (in NZ) and the maui Ultima Plus and Cascade (in Australia) even have a slide-out external cooker.

2. There’s freedom to stop

With a fridge onboard, your clients can savour a meal or drink at some of the most beautiful locations Australia and New Zealand have to offer. Imagine a leisurely lunch by a sparkling lake, a sunset dinner on a secluded beach or a drink under the stars. Of course, being able to self-cater means a big reduction in food and drink costs for your client’s trip, too.

3. Wineries, breweries and markets

En route, your clients can buy the best local produce to enjoy throughout their trip. Maui offers exclusive Winery Haven stays, where travellers can park up overnight at a vineyard.

4. They can get back to nature

One of the unique pleasures of a motorhome holiday is waking up surrounded by nature, with big windows offering breathtaking views. Starting the day with the sound of waves or birds in the forest can become a trip highlight.

5. Clients can meet the locals

Whether it’s a friendly chat at a local coffee shop or a shared meal at a campground, interactions with the locals can enrich a travel experience and create lasting memories. There are even kangaroos at some campgrounds!

6. Utilising helpful tech

The thl Roadtrip app is an invaluable resource to help your clients find the best places to stay (including private options) and things to do, while also offering practical tips such as where to buy groceries and access WiFi. The app also lists many free campsites in New Zealand, where “freedom camping” is permitted with self-contained vehicles.

7. Booking is easy

You can book via your wholesale tour operator with the simple rental rate locked in, or by adding in a value pack with nil excess insurance and other important extras such as camping chairs. Plus, with 10 branches throughout Australia and three in New Zealand, the group offers flexible touring options with 24-hour assistance and a 24/7 agent reservation centre.

With this flexibility, your clients can truly embrace the wonderful spontaneity that travel should always include.
