Commiserations
I was fortunate enough to see such warnings about Apollo posted online by other travellers, and your report indicates it is indeed the case! I was able to rent with Mighty Campers, which turned out infact to be a Britz van from Alice Springs. Mighty at least will take a imprint of the card for the bond, and cancel it when returned, and no credit card fee was charged. Can say the van was nearly new and had a great trip without hassles, so I can recommend Mighty (or Britz?) from Alice Springs anyway.
