Australia covers a vast area, 7.6 million square kilometres in fact!  Did you know Australia is 22 x bigger than Germany, with 87% of our population living within 50km of the coast, and 75% of our land mass considered ‘very remote’ according to our government?!

The outback is one of the many things that makes Australia a unique place to visit, it is on the bucket list of many Australians and International visitors, and an outback road trip should not be taken lightly. We can assist you with a premium, reliable vehicle, but good preparation and planning is also very important.

Some roads you are planning to take may only be accessible by 4WD and can be slow to travel. Please make sure you have researched the roads you are travelling along on dedicated websites that provide information and advice as well as local visitor information centres in the regions you are travelling through.

Google Maps is not a dedicated website, and unfortunately doesn’t understand the current road conditions and drive times.

Links to great sources of information and advice in each region are found on each depot page of our website.

If you still need some assistance with planning, please don’t hesitate to contact our reservations team at sales@adventurerentals.com.au or call us on 1300 274 473 (within Australia) or +61 8 7918 7844 (International).

Yes, you are allowed to drive our cars on the beach, however, it is at your own risk (you are not covered by any insurance). Please remember to:

• Lower your tyre pressure accordingly
• Stay above the high tide/mean high water springs mark
• DO NOT come in contact with any salt water

The more remote you travel the fewer the fuel options – not to mention how expensive it can get in some remote regions. Water is available at most places, though its good to fill up if you were going very remote. Staying hydrated is very important in hot climatic conditions.

You will find groceries and eateries at all tourist spots, though be aware it may be costly in very remote areas. It’s advisable to stock up in larger towns and cities when you can.

Crocodiles are dangerous around waterways and are not to be underestimated. Get croc-wise information here.

Other wildlife that can pose a threat include animals on our roads – especially at night – so drive carefully. More information here.

Protect yourself early morning and early evening from insects by wearing sufficient insect repellent (Bushmans brand is recommended) as well as long sleeves and pants.

Thermacells are worth the investment for all mosquito-free camping. If you are camping near billabongs and waterways use these to deter mosquitos. They can be purchased locally at a hardware store.

All of our 4WD vehicles have USB A charging points. We recommend you charge phones whilst driving using the USB A point in the centre console of the vehicle. Below is a guide to the location and number of charging points for each vehicle type.

Toyota Prado 4WD Car & Camper: 1 x USB A point in the centre console (use when engine is running). 1 x USB A Charging point in the rear of the vehicle near the fridge plug (use when vehicle engine is off and you have stopped). 12V Cigarette lighter point in rear boot near fridge plug also.

Toyota Hilux 4WD Campers: 1 x USB A point in the centre console (use when engine is running). 4 x USB A charging points in the rear canopy (2 on each side), located on the front wall. 12V Cigarette lighter point in rear canopy also.

All vehicles also have a 12V cigarette lighter plug in the centre console, adaptors to give you 2 additional USB A charging points can be purchased at your own expense.

While our 4WD Campers come complete with full camping equipment, below are our top recommendations of items you can bring to make your outback camping adventure as comfortable and enjoyable as possible:

Head Torch

Toilet Paper

Thermacell (the BEST insect repellent device, you can purchase them from hardware stores or camping shops)

Butane Gas 220g. We start you off with a couple of bottles but make sure you put these on your shopping list, especially if you are hiring a Toyota Prado 4WD Camper.

USB A charging cords

12V USB A Adaptor (from cigarette lighter)

Our depots run on an appointment schedule so your return time is confirmed with you via email prior to your trip.

Yes, please return the vehicle in a clean condition as it was when you picked it up.  As a minimum, the vehicles need an outside wash and a vacuum inside to remove sand, dirt, and dust.

If vehicles are returned dirty, cleaning fees will apply.

The fuel tank will be full when you collect the vehicle, therefore needs to be fuel when you return it.

Please remember Diesel, Diesel, Diesel!

A vehicle return takes around 20 minutes. This gives us time to chat about your adventure and to gather feedback on how your Adventure Rentals vehicle went during your road trip adventure.
