Flex Pricing Explained
Once upon a time life was simple. backpacker had set rates, they didn't change. It didn't matter if you went from Sydney to Cairns, or Cairns to Sydney. It didn't matter if you booked 6 month in advance, or the day before... the rate was the same.
Flex Pricing allows us to offer total flexable pricing which allows YOU the opportunity to secure the best possible rental rate at the date of booking.
The Flex rates are updated on a weekly basis. As a general rule, the rates of campervans and motorhomes rise close to the pick up date as availability gets low.
