We have been hiring 4WD’s for 20 yrs and we still find them tricky! It is important that renters understand regional and road restrictions as well as rules regarding safe driving weather conditions and which 4WD vehicles can do what. All of these can be rookie errors that leave you out of pocket or worse i.e. uninsured. We also provide off road 4WD hire for minimum 7 day hires.

Some Things To Do With a 4WD Rental

To make your Australian adventure complete a 4WD hire is the way to go. Our sunburnt country with its vast Outback, rugged coastline, magnificent beaches and natural wonders is the perfect playground made accessible with a 4WD. Expect to be amazed by the relatively unexplored country you will see beyond the towns and popular beaches. There is something for everyone, from rainforest serenity to adrenalin pumping terrain.

In Western Australia for instance, you can drive your 4WD hire onto open beaches for a day in the sunshine and sand. If you've enjoyed driving around in a motor home or campervan hire then this will be a real treat. There are specific parks for 4WDs which is largely unheard of in other parts of Australia and the rest of the world. 

If you head inland, one of our most treasured natural landmarks is the Bungle Bungle Range. It is a geological wonder formed through rock weathering and erosion, with gorges and refreshing pools for you to explore along the way. The Range is located within one of our many National parks so there are also gorgeous forests beyond the rocks. 

WIth a 4WD your outback adventure can take so many more paths. For those who aren't familiar with the terminology, 4WD stands for 4 Wheel Drive. In a 4WD vehicle you can control all four wheels which means better manouevrability and more power. It gives you the capability to drive across rugged terrain and reach parts of the continent that others cannot. It will be hard to go back to a regular vehicle once you've had the experience.

Whether it's the red outback, the cool forests or the sparkle of the ocean, Australia has some of the best places to explore in the world. Your 4WD hire can take you to some of the most beautiful places to watch the sun set after another day of your adventure.
