FAQs
What is the minimum rental period for a 4WD camper hire?
Most rentals start from five days, though this can vary depending on the location and season. Longer minimum hire periods may apply during peak travel times, so it's best to check in advance to secure your preferred dates.
Do I need a special license to drive a 4WD campervan?
No, a standard full driver’s licence is all you need to hire and drive a 4WD campervan in Australia. If you hold an international licence, it must be in English or accompanied by an accredited translation or an International Driving Permit. While a 4WD camper doesn’t require a heavy vehicle licence, we recommend familiarising yourself with off-road driving techniques, especially if you're heading into remote areas. Our team can provide tips and guidance to ensure you feel confident behind the wheel.
Can I take a 4WD camper off-road anywhere in Australia?
While 4WD campers are designed for off-road travel, some roads have restrictions to protect the environment and the vehicle. Some remote areas require prior approval, and certain routes such as: the Canning Stock Route or Fraser Island, may be restricted due to safety or insurance limitations. Seasonal road closures due to weather conditions may also apply. Always check with us before heading off-road to ensure your planned route is allowed, and we’ll help you make the most of your adventure.
Is there unlimited mileage on 4WD camper rentals?
Most 4WD camper hires come with a set daily kilometre allowance, typically ranging from 200 to 300km per day, with excess kilometres charged separately. This helps ensure the long-term maintenance of the vehicle and supports safe travel practices in remote areas. If you’re planning a long-distance journey, some suppliers offer unlimited kilometre packages or additional kilometre bundles. Speak to our team to find the best option based on your itinerary and travel style.
What happens if the vehicle breaks down?
All our 4WD campers are well-maintained and regularly serviced, but in the rare event of a breakdown, help is available. Your hire includes roadside assistance, so you can call for support if you experience any mechanical issues. Depending on your location and the nature of the problem, repairs may be arranged on-site or at a nearest workshop, or a replacement vehicle may be provided. We strongly recommend checking your rental agreement for specific breakdown coverage details. For added peace of mind, comprehensive insurance options can minimise out-of-pocket costs for unexpected incidents.
Are pets allowed in the 4WD campervans?
Yes, our 4WD campers are pet friendly. A pet cleaning fee applies and must be added to the rental prior to starting the trip.
Do the 4WD campervans have a toilet and shower?
Most 4WD campers are designed for off-grid adventures and do not include built-in toilets and showers, but they come equipped with essential camping gear. Many vehicles include portable chemical toilets, and some feature external solar showers. If you prefer more convenience, we can recommend campgrounds and caravan parks with full amenities along your route. Alternatively, some larger 4WD motorhomes include built-in bathroom facilities. Feel free to reach out to us to explore your options.
Can I hire a 4WD camper for a one-way trip?
Yes, one-way 4WD camper hire is available between select locations, including popular routes like Darwin to Broome or Alice Springs to Cairns. One-way rentals are a great way to maximise your adventure without backtracking, but they often come with additional relocation fees. Availability depends on demand and season, so it’s best to book early if you have a specific route in mind. Let us know your travel plans, and we’ll find the best one-way hire option for you.
