Where can I go in my motorhome?

When exploring, please keep to the roads. Driving in off-road conditions, including fire trails, beaches, sand, tracks, fields or paddocks, is not permitted. If the damage is incurred or towing required while driving in these out of bounds areas the customer will be liable for all costs. The only exception to this is a reasonable use of access roads to recognised commercial campgrounds.

Do you allow one way motorhome hires in Australia?

We give customers the flexibility to pick up and drop off the motorhomes at any of our [eight branches in Australia](https://www.starrv.com/au/motorhome-hire-locations-au). The applicable one-way fee for your chosen vehicle and direction will get added as you put together a quote on our website. Please note, all one-way hires must be approved by Star RV and are offered subject to availability.

What is the minimum hire period?

The minimum hire period changes depending on many factors, including, time of year, type of vehicle and customer demand level. As you're going through the booking process, you may get a notification saying the minimum hire hasn't been met. This means you'll need to extend your trip or change your vehicle type.

Which motorhomes connect to 240v campsite power?

All our motorhomes have the option of a 240v mains campground hook up as well as a domestic dual 12v battery. We cannot guarantee just how long the domestic battery will last - all you need is another Star adventure on the road, to charge it up again. **Tip: **your motorhome will only trickle charge when driving, so needs to be plugged in every 24-48hrs. The standard life of the battery is 12-20 hours depending on use.
