I did this with imoova a number of years ago. We didnt need any flights or anything as we're backpackers and we're already there. They threw in $800 of fuel with the rental if you keep the receipts and it was $1/day. ended up costing us less than $200 each between the three of us which is heaps good value to get all the way from adelaide to broome. You've got to be savvy and work out all the details in advance but if you do it can be really great.

I don't really see the point in including flights and Ubers in the cost of the RV-relocation rental. Relocations are usually for people who are on one-way trips.
What I believe should be covered is the cost of the rental, insurance and other fees (bedding, cleaning etc), fuel, toll ++.
Relocations are cheap for a reason. Because they are relocations.
Very unreasonable complaints.
If I rent a car from Avis in Las Vegas and I live in London, I wouldn't add my flights, taxis, trains to the cost of renting the car and blame Avis for the high price and me having to get up early in the morning to catch my flight...
