across Australia (hence the business name 'Australia 4 Wheel
Drive Rentals'.
Our senior management alone have collectively over 30 years
in the travel industry from around the world. With experience
gathered from organizing tours of 1000+ people to exclusive
tours for V.I.P.s.
 Though
our main business comes from you the 'Domestic Traveller'
or 'F.I.T. Traveller' (Foreign Independent Travel). The person
travelling alone, the family, the couple, the business person
or group of friends. Whether you be 25 or 85 we will offer
you the best customised and personalised service possible.
When we prepare a tour we actually spend a considerable amount
of time deciding if the tour you are looking at suits your
needs and desires. We like to know your dates and flexibility
so we can compare all the available options. We like to know
your thoughts on the type of trip you envisage, your approx
spending anticipation level and the people you like to travel
with. Often a trip may be different to what one thinks it
will offer.
Our quotes would be one of the most extensive quoting systems
on offer. Usually some 3 pages, though these quotes tend to
offer you as much information as a quote could offer. As you
can tell from this page we are not a 'fly by night' company
and we actually really enjoy our jobs and take pride in our
work. We would also appreciate all the feedback possible on
the tours we book for you and meet with you if your in Darwin
- as we say 'the kettle is always on'.
Why Choose Us
Some of reasons you can feel confident in booking your next
tour or recommending us.
• We are licensed Travel Agents. In Northern Territory to
be a licensed travel agent you must have the proper creditionals
and most of all relevant sound experience to be a licensed
agent.
• Our licensee Rob has lived in Alice Springs and Darwin in
Northern Territory from 1988 till now (except 1 year - 1994
in Perth). Rob grew up in the bush in Victoria high country
of the Upper Yarra and coming from a family of horse trainers,
rangers and conservationists. Rob has learnt bush tucker,
bush medicine and the real spirit of outback Australia since
he was five. Now some 40 years later his wealth of knowledge
puts him in the league of travel specialists that you should
be looking for. Rob also attended Northern Territory University
to obtain his travel accreditations and adding his hands on
experience for the last 10 years Rob has passed on this knowledge
to his staff over the years.
• We show you our address clearly on our sites.
• We are available till 10pm nightly.
• We try to get personalised and well thought out tour quotes
to you within 2-6 hours between 9am-4pm weekdays and if we
receive a quote after 4pm our time then next day. A quote
also relies on our response from our listed tour operators.
Vehicle quotes may take longer.
• We generally work directly with the tour or vehicle operator
in the quote.
• The only affiliated systems we would tend to use currently
are the different state government tourism booking systems
such as the NT Government
• We work with the tour operators personally when possible
and hand in hand on all tours. Tour companies such as Intrepid,
Adventure Tours Australia, Sacred earth Safaris, Walleroo,
Wayoutback, APT- Kimberley Wilderness Adventures, Then there
is accommodation sites such as Wotiff and vehicle rental suppliers
such as JJ, Mighty, Boomerang, Britz, Maui, Apollo, Cheapa,
Starrv, Cruisin, Go Cheap annd many more all trusted and experience.
• We work with the vehicle operators personally when possible
and hand in hand on all rentals. vehicles companies such as
JJ, Mighty, Boomerang, Britz, Maui, Apollo, Cheapa, Starrv,
Cruisin, Go Cheap annd many more all trusted and experience.
• As we have an extensive listed range of tour operators,
one of the largest ranges in Northern Territory we feel we
can compare tours and provide you with their benefits and
offer you the best tour that suits your needs and desire.
• As we only specialise in Australian land based tours (predominantly
small group outback tours) though we have extensive knowledge
on all other land based tours.
• Our staff actually gather as much information on the
areas as possible. If you need to know the updates to access
to Jim Jim Falls in Kakadu, or find the most rugged tour or

information ready or will get it usually that day.

and large group accommodated tours.

on and designed around what you want to see where possible.

Licenses
Verifications for a particular current travel license can
only be found at the Consumer Affairs at Darwin. Tel 08 8999
1999. In the Northern Territory a extensive checklist is required
for Travel Agents in Northern Territory to be licensed. Tour
Operators based in Northern Territory actually have to comply
the Northern Territory licensing board. Their criteria is
extensive.
Other Professionals
Why book with us instead of booking with a vheicle operator
or tour operator direct, tourist commission or a local licensed
travel agent. Vehicle operators and Tours operators, Territory
Discovery, The NTTC Commission, and 'destination experienced'
licensed travel agents are usually excellent choices to book
with.
We do not compare our services to these like minded professionals.
What we suggest is look at the benefits you receive when booking
through us. Rob has lived in the Territory some 18 years and
has extensive experience. We know the operations and reservation
staff of most tour and vehicle operators personally. We operate
24 hours. We have a large selection of tour and vehicle operators
( some 50 more we can't list as there is just to many to show
online) and will offer all vehicles and tours regardless of
commissions or opposition. We do pass on savings in the forms
of discounts and specials to you. We are as professional as
one can be and to always remember you may not be fully aware
of all the options and to offer them and let you be aware
of them so you can make a smarter decision.

I want a free quote?
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 really 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 a lengthy quote but that's great because you
get clear and informative details to base your decision on
for a vehicle for your next holiday let's 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 therefore is based
on case by case as some quotes will be very easy to assist
with and some much harder.

IT Maintenance
In 2006 it was decided to upgrade our sites. In January 2006
we took a 50% in U-R a Malaysian IT company. Our current downtime
is 0.0003%.
Discounting Policy
We have no set discount policy rule. We do offer a early
bird discount on many tours and this is reflected in our quotes
very clearly. Obviously the larger the group the more we can
try to offer a discount. Unlike years gone past the travel
industry has had a huge shake up and commissions are limited.
Where possible we try to pass on the discounts to you as we
want your repeat business. Some suppliers request that we
don't discount at all and with these suppliers we respect
their guidelines.
Our Vehicle and Tour Operators
As we deal with some 50+ vehicles hire suppliers and 25+
major and 128 minor tour operators and terms may vary between
suppliers, we have introduced our terms policy, security policy,

for both the Operator and Australia 4 Wheel Drive Rentals.
