The most important thing to remember is that in Australia, driving is on the LEFT HAND SIDE of the road. This is the same as in the United Kingdom and Japan.

Note that there are some roads which are not suitable for campervans and on which KEA places restrictions. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more information.

Seat Belts It is compulsory in Australia that the driver and all passengers wear their seatbelts. This is an important safety requirement.

Australia has an extensive network of Holiday Parks in all major tourist centres and in most towns. We suggest Tourist Parks and Caravan Parks : Top Tourist Parks and Big 4 Holiday Parks chain's, which offer excellent recreational facilities, as well as resources to dispose of waste water. They also have provision for you to plug the vehicle into 240Volt (15amp) electricity.

There is usually no need to book ahead, however it may be wise to book ahead in peak periods (Easter, Christmas etc). Though noticably lately we find it is important to book spots during school holdiays and also peak season like during July-September for Kakadu, Litchfield and The Kimberley regions.

The approximate cost of a powered site is AU$25 per night in non-remote regions, in other rgions during peak season prices will vary accordingly. The approximate cost for a non powered site is approximately AU$15 to AU$20 a night.

Many Australian National Parks have areas set aside for camping. There are often absolution blocks (shower and toilets), washing areas, barbeques and picnic areas and of course national parks provide a scenic and peaceful place to stay at overnight. However these areas generally do not have facility for you to plug the vehicle into 240Volt 15amp electricity required for your vehicle.

Because of local council by-laws you are not permitted to camp on the side of the road in the vicinity of towns. However outside the towns and in country areas it is generally allowed. If you are not sure please enwuire at the Visitor's Information Centre, Council Office or Police Station in the nearest town.

Petrol (Gasoline) in Australia comes in unleaded and leaded grades, and is sold by the litre. Petrol and diesel fuel costs between $1.35 AUD and $1.60 AUD per litre and can be higher especially in country and remote outback areas.

The fuel (Diesel or Petrol) tanks are to be refilled by the hirer as and when required. The supplier or Australia 4 Wheel drive Rentals will not be held responsible for any representation as to fuel economy for individual vehicles. Fuel economy is dependent upon a number of varying factors, including how the vehicle is driven, weather conditions and the maintenance of correct tyre pressures.

No, there are no shuttle services or free transfers in Australia, you need to take a taxi from the airport to the branch.

Except however one supplier - Your Taxi fare from the airport to the supplier 'Maui' Branch, on pick-up only, will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipt.

No we are unaware on any vehicle in any supplier fleets.

There is a supplier we use for the West Coast that has campers for 2 adults and 2 smaller children. There is very limited stock.

Most vehicles will allow 2 adults and a smaller child.

Uluru (Also known as Ayers Rock)

Yulara resort (Also known as Ayers Rock Resort)

The nearest supplier we are aware off is in Alice Springs for 4WD campers, 2WD Campervans and 2WD Motorhomes.

The Uluru (Also known as Ayers Rock) is 452klm on a very straight highway from Alice Springs – actually leave Alice Springs head south drive 200klm turn right drive 250klm and Uluru and Yulara resort (Also known as Ayers Rock Resort) is in front of roughly speaking.

The main pickup and dropoff depots are as follows:
Adelaide, *Alice Springs, Brisbane, *Broome, Cairns, Darwin, *Hobart, *Kununurra, Launceston, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney.

* Denotes only limited suppliers have a depot there.

4WD - Please refer to the vehicle description on our web page or your quote.

All our 4WD are manual. Unleass specified Automatic such as certain Luxury Prado's.

No. Only the Rookie in the Britz fleet has a conditional 3 day minimum. The other vehicles have a 5-7 days minimal rental.

Most 4WD's have a 5 day minimum

Some select 4WD's i.e.' Oz Explorer' 4WD have a 20day minimum

General Rule - (Please read the suppliers actual Summary of Terms for the actual clause for that supplier)

A valid, non-provisional, state or overseas driver's licence is required. If the driver's licence is not in the English language (e.g. German, French, Chinese, etc) then an international driver's licence is also required. The driver's licence must have been held for at least two years and be valid for the whole length of the rental. The original driver's licence must be shown at time of pick-up when the driver is present.

General Rule - (Please read the suppliers actual Summary of Terms for the actual clause for that supplier)

The minimum age to drive the vehicle is 21 years and the maximum age is 75 years.
(Some suppliers the rule is 21-unlimited, 18-75 or 25-75 Some suppliers with request a doctor's certificate if you are over 75.)

When you plug into electricity in a recognised Tourist Park or Caravan park, all accessories automatically run off 240V (15amp) electricity rather then the batteries.

Vehicles can only be connected to 240Volts (15amps) mains at recognized camp grounds that have applicable 240Volt (15amps) mains connections suitable Motorhome and Campers. Our campervans, 4WD campers and motorhomes vehicles are NOT allowed to be connected to house mains or generators.

Appliances such as the television, microwave and rear air conditioning only run off 240Volts (15amps) mains at recognized camp grounds

The 12v batteries are only charged by driving the vehicle and we advise clients that they need 5-6 hrs driving a day to have enough charge in the aux battery run the fridge at normal running temp overnight or otherwise whilst driving have the fridge turned up to the coldest setting and then at night turn the fridge down to the lowest setting to save the battery power.

A reputable Fleet Manager – recently said if you ran the car in idle for 1 hour each day it will minimally charge the battery but not fully really not enough to maintain the food properly. He also said it would take 350klm-400klm continuous driving to bring a low battery back to around 75% of maximum charge.

Most vehicles have two batteries (Known as a dual battery system). The batteries can only be recharged when you drive the vehicle.

One to run the engine and the other to operate the living equipment, like the lights, certain water pumps and fridge. That battery will last approximately 12 to 14 hours when fully charged. As the engine battery is separate to the auxilary battery, if you flatten auxilary battery you will still be able to start the engine and drive to charge the battery.

No: With the suppliers we use there is no difference that we are aware off. If there is a difference we have been alerted too we will advise you.

It is best to advise us at quoting if it is a business trip as we may have contact's on that route to assist with your business needs.

There are a different Rate in the industry, here is an example of a few of them:

Standard Rates

• Standard Calendar rates: These rates are seasonal such such May 1st till June 30th with around 8 seasons.
• Calendar Days: Are the actaul full day of example 1st December.
• Rates for most suppliers are in seasons such as 2008/2009 season. This would be 1st April, 2008 till 31st March 2009.
• Rates for the next season are generally released in October of the year before.

Flex Rates:

• The flex rate for the entire duration of the rental is determined by the date of pick-up, location and date of booking. The daily rate will not change within one booking.
• Amendments prior to the vehicle collection date will be re-calculated at the flex rate applicable on the date of amendment. This applies to changing the vehicle type, reducing the number of rental days, changing pick-up dates and/or changing the pick-up or drop-off location. Where the number of rental days is being extended prior to pick-up (days are being added on at the end of the rental with no change to the original pick up date), or the bonus pack is being added to or removed from the booking, the original flex rate, which applied at the time of the original booking, will apply.

Australian Seasons:

• One reason that Flex Rates works is that with Australia being so vast it will have a winter in the south and a tropical summer in the the Top End on the same day. So there appling the rates to the region based on the season.
• In standard rates we have 6-10 seasons depending on suppliers because generally a season like May and June is classed as a low season (except in Northern Territory, Kimberley, Cape York).

Special Rates:

• There are too many to list. Basically there are flex or Standard rates with separate conditions. Such as time limitations or depot location. Some specials are specified routes such as a northbound special.
• Specials are office from time to time with no or little warning and from what we understand from all the suppliers to cover gaps in fleets surplus in low seasons or if if the suppliers need vehicle movements.

Times and Rates:

• Calendar Days: Rental days are charged per calendar day. When calculating the number of days a vehicle is rented, the day of pick-up is counted as day one of the rental. The day of the vehicle's return is counted as the final day of the rental. Vehicles are required to be collected and returned with business hours unless arranged otherwise.
• 24Hr: Rental days are calculated on a 24-hour basis. if you pickup a rental at 11am on April 5th and drop of the vehicle on 10am April 6th that is 1X24 hour cycle.

There are 3 general quote pricing formats we will study and then select one for you depending on the supplier we use, the track your taking, the lenght of rental and other criteria.

Standard Quote: This is the basic quote where there are 4 sections.

• Daily Basic rental of the Vehicle.
• The Standard Liability (The Vehicle is insured for damage to it or damage to the property of a third party. However the renter is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for the cost of such damage to third party property, or to the rented Vehicle.)
• Oneway fees or Remote Location Fees (if not waived or included)
• Optional Extra's

Standard Quote: This is the basic quote where there are 4 sections.

• Daily Basic rental of the Vehicle.
• The Standard Liability has been reduced
• Oneway fees or Remote Location Fees (if not waived or included)
• Optional Extra's

Standard Quote: This is the basic quote where there are 4 sections.

• Daily Basic Rental and the 'Bonus Pack or All Inclusive' component of the vehicle built in as one price
• The reduced Security Deposit or Excess (see your quote)
• Oneway fees or Remote Location Fees (if not waived or included)
• Optional Extra's (if not included)

There are supplier's such as Backpacker, Britz, Maui, Kea, Apollo and Cheapa Campa who offer a All Inclusive Pack (Also known as Bonus Pack) for their rentals which is in addition to the daily vehicle rate.

Each supplier has different inclusions so you must see quote quote for details. One inclusion mainly seen is the Excess Insurance Bond is dramatically reduced to zero or as low as Aud $250 from Aud$5000 or even Aud$7500 unless you breach the terms and conditions of the rental contract.

We strongly recommend the All Inclusive Pack (Also known as Bonus Pack) as it's the maximum cover we have available to offer.

Unless you take the VIP Protection Package you run the risk of being responsible for considerable costs associated with damage to, or theft of, the vehicle. This applies even if the damage was not your fault!

For example, you are liable if someone runs into you or if a rock from a passing car hits your windscreen and causes damage. Also, you are responsible for the subsequent costs if you are unlucky enough to puncture a tyre. Bonus Pack, Al Inclusive or VIP Protection gives you peace of mind in such circumstances as you will only be liable for up to reduced amount unless you breach the terms and conditions of the rental contract.

An optional Extra is a item offers to help make your trip complete! Choose from baby and booster seats for 2WD cars and satellite phones and an Outback Safety Kit for 4WDs.

Each supplier has different Optional Extra's.

Note in a All Inclusive Pack (Also known as Bonus Pack) there are often many extra's included such as the Britz Bonus Pack.

All Suppliers do take a Security Bond at the beginning of the rental, the amount of this bond is dependent on if you take out Excess Reduction and which option you take. Please be aware that the new trend is a credit card surcharge of between 1.75% and 4.5% on the amount paid on pickup, including the refundable bond.

The Vehicle has third party insurance cover. It is likely that any other vehicle involved in an accident also has third party insurance cover. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the renter may be entitled to claim for their personal injury against the third party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. The extent of such third party insurance varies in different States and Territories and A4WDR strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.

If you want a free quote on a rental vehicle then just click here and the quote is free. If you supply your contact details it realy helps us as sometimes we need to ask questions to help get you the best quote.

As a Licensed Travel Agent we will send you a clear quote (though it is a lenghty quote but that's great because you get clear and informative details to base your decision on for a vehicle for your next holiday lets say to Uluru, Kakadu or even the Bungle Bungles.)

We do not generally quote or book rentals under 36 hours from pickup as it doesn't give us the time to research and quote the best option. Every quote request therefor is based on case by case as some quotes will be very easy to assist with and some much harder.

Now for the good news to actually book one of these business or holiday rentals you only need to place a $250 deposit and then your pay the balance of the daily rental just 35 days from pickup - so when you arrive f to pick up your rental 4WD camper you will assured and confident in knowing we have streamlined the pickup for you.

If a vehicle request is 36 days away from the requested date then we request full price at pickup.

Please note: We do not sit on funds we pay our suppliers immediatley. The suppliers required payment will be banked directly into the suppliers main account usually by 31 days away from pickup. We are regarded as one of the best payer's in the rental industry system.

All vehicles are fully maintained, serviced at scheduled kilometer or time frames to supplier's standard and detailed between rentals by experienced staff.

However, minor problems can occur. If advice or assistance for breakdown is required, support is available to every renter throughout Australia by telephoning the telephone number displayed on the vehicle or calling into any of the supplier's head office or branches. Accidents must be reported immediately and within 24 hours. The renter must not admit liability to other parties or make any offer of settlement.

Any problems associated with the vehicle, including equipment failure, minor accidents or loss of vehicle property must be reported to supplier (rental agreement as soon as possible and within twenty four hours in order to give the supplier the opportunity to rectify the problem during the rental.

Repairs can be made with only the authorisation from supplier. Repairs will be approved provided the hirer was not directly responsible for the damage. Formal receipts must be collected and submitted for any repair or the claim may not be paid.

Written permission is standard with most of our suppliers. We feel it's for 2 reasons.

The first and most important reason is to consider your safety.

The second suppliers have to protect their vehicles from going out when roads are closed, flooded, under fire – etc - all natural disaster mode. So they usually wait for the day of pickup (or before) and check the weather, road conditions and local authorities and then make a decision.

A prime example are friends of ours who in December 2007 went into the Kimberley's. They were the last folks in many of the parks as the roads closed that day or the day after being around Dec 17th. If the clients had of been bogged (stuck) in the mud on the road then there was very little traffic to assist them.

Some of the circumstances where the Vehicle must not be Used. The use of the Vehicle for racing, pacemaking, reliability trials, speed trials, hill climbing or being tested in preparation for those activities. The use of the Vehicle in a dangerous manner.

The suppliers we deal with have very good 'Road restriction' Clauses. Though they too have rules.

Britz, Backpacker, Apollo, Cheapa, A4H, SPI and Kea say the term on recognised unsealed tracks and roads.

I personally believe it's for 2 reasons.

The first and most important reason is to consider your safety.

The second reason is it would be much more difficult to assist you if you are bogged say 230klm deep in the Kimberley or at Woods Points in Victoria. No tow truck may be able to go in and retrieve the vehicle and assist you. Also the cost to retrieve a vehicle would be astronomical.

No suppliers road access and road restrcitions are vastly different. Below is a sample of major clauses of major suppliers. That is why we need to know the route your taking so we can look through the terms and contact the supplier for you.

What Is A Gazzetted Road?

External link: http://www.nt.gov.au/ntg/gazette.html (Courtesy of the Northern Territory Government) for the promotion of selfdrive tourism in Northern Territory.

We are advised it is a road that has been published in a State or Territory (where the road is located would imply that state)

An example is:
Place Names Act
NAMING OF PLACE
I, (Name of the minister), the Minister for Planning and Lands: (a) under section 11 of the Place Names Act and with reference to section 43 of the Interpretation Act, revoke the instrument dated 6 August 1986 approving the recommendation contained in a report by the Place Names Committee that a road be named A4WDR Street; and (b) under section 11 of the Place Names Act, approve the recommendation contained in a report by the Place Names Committee that the road shown hatched on the plan in the Schedule be named Dante Road, as indicated on that plan. Dated 17th July, 2007.

We are advised it is a road that has been designated by a local State or local Territory government body.

As some stations have around a 20klm unrecognised road to the farm house we will need to judge each station and each supplier separately.

You will first need permission from the station. Next you have to advise us of the station and we will ask the Supplier in question.
