Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) Campers

Things to consider for a 4WD campervan hire in Australia:

• 4WD campervans are busiest during the winter months of May, June, July and August. This is because the dry season coincides with winter in the northern states of Australia. If you try to travel during the wet season in these areas, many roads are cut due to flooding, so it best to travel during the dry season.


The busiest 4WD campervan hire branches tend to be Cairns, Darwin, Alice Springs, Broome and Perth. They are the gateway to areas such as Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park, Cape York, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Gibb River Road. Therefore we recommend that you book ahead for travel from these campervan rental branches during the dry season.


• A number of road restrictions apply for 4WD campervan hire. For example, travel to Cape York (northern tip of Queensland) is only permitted between June and November. Some of the most remote tracks (such as the Canning Stock Route) are also off limits due to the extreme conditions. So you need to double-check the road restrictions for the 4WD campervan you wish to hire to ensure that you can travel to the areas you would like to..


• 4WD driving experience is not necessary to hire a 4WD campervan, but it is preferred. Driving a 4WD campervan on four-wheel-drive tracks is very different from driving a 2WD campervan on sealed roads. You need to take care with speed limits and wildlife when travelling off the beaten track in Australia. It is recommended that you do not drive at dusk or dawn as many nocturnal animals will be close to the road at these times of the day.
