You will need a valid driver's license for the class of camper you will be renting. And a credit or debit card. Kampi.co.za will require you to submit a copy of your Identity Document and Proof of Address for FICA purposes.
Kampi.co.za will send a PayFast payment request to you.
You can pay the deposit in instalments; however, the full R5,000/R10,000 needs to be paid 7 days before the start of your trip.
In the case of an Insurance claim, proper identification is required. Cross Border documentation must be 100% accurate to ensure a trouble-free transit through the border.
For trailers with a GVM above 750kg, a Code EB license is legally required for Insurance purposes. Code B licenses are sufficient for trailers with a GVM of less than 750kg.
Before collection, the owner will make contact to schedule a time for collection. Some owners offer a delivery service as well as a setup service.
You will receive a clean camper, and owners have the option to add a cleaning fee to the rental or waive it. Generally, return a rental the way you would like to receive it.
That depends on the time of the year that you need the camper, during school holidays or not. While our customers book campers for the school holidays up to a year in advance, you will mostly get a camper for a weekend on shorter notice. Also, look for specials. Generally, getting hold of a camper is easier when you do not rely on travelling during school holidays.
The South African law looks without exception at the tare weight of your car, not at your vehicle's engine capacity. The minimum tare weight must exceed that of the trailer. You will find the tare weight on your license disk on the windscreen. Your vehicle must also be rated for towing the respective weight by the car's manufacturer.
On collection, this remains the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the renter has the correct driver's license (Appropriate Code and that the license has not expired or will not expire during the trip) and that the vehicle used for towing does comply with the Law of South Africa and the destination country. The owner should not release their camper to the renter if this is not in order as no Insurance claim can be submitted if this has not been checked by Kampi.co.za and the owner of the camper.
You need an EB, EC, or EC1 license to tow braked trailers legally. If the trailer's GVM (Gross vehicle mass) is more than 750kg, you will need an EB, EC, or EC1 license.
Always adhere to road speed limits, and keep in mind road conditions. We recommend a maximum of 100 km/h on tar and 40 to 60 km/h on a gravel road.

With Kampi.co.za the possibilities are truly endless. There is no cap on the number of listings you may have. Kampi.co.za is designed to accommodate your growing fleet, letting your camper pay for your next holiday.

A very good starting point is to take the replacement value (The value you want the insurance to cover your camper for on trips on Kampi.co.za) and multiply it by 0.4% to 0.6% and this will give you a good starting point for what you should list your camper for.
We also have a calculator that you can use for quick reference here.
Example:
R180 000 Replacement Value
R180000 * 0.4% = R720
R180000 * 0.6% = R1080
Using this method you can list your camper for between R720 to R1080 per day on Kampi.co.za
If you have created a PayFast merchant and added it to your payout methods, you will receive your payout immediately. If you prefer for the payout to be made to your bank account Kampi.co.za will process the payment 1 day after the rental has started. This is to ensure we protect our owners and renter alike. Please note that based on which bank you use the funds can take up to 2 business days to clear.
We recommend leaving the funds in your PayFast wallet until the renter has collected the camper to ensure you comply with the selected refund policies.
You can rest assured that when you received a booking confirmation for your camper, Kampi.co.za has already collected the funds and is keeping it safe on your behalf.
