Generally hire campers may only be driven on sealed roads. Different restrictions may apply to 4WD vehicles, and often written permission must be obtained before taking your 4WD camper off-road. Many roads around Alice Springs and Central Australia are sealed, including roads to some of the major tourist attractions, and are suitable for all vehicle types.
Note the following information regarding specific areas:
Generally, 4WD vehicles can be driven on unsealed roads, but there are restricted areas and some tracks require prior permission.
In addition to unsealed roads, companies may restrict certain roads or trails with a reputation for being rough or rugged (and beaches are typically prohibited). If you take your vehicle into a restricted area, you’ll be liable for all damages and in some cases may also have to pay additional fees/penalties under your hire agreement.
If unsure about a certain area, it’s best to contact the hire company in advance.
For 4WD vehicles, a daily mileage allowance usually applies (around 300 km), thereafter additional fees will apply.
The comparison tool will show you which vehicles have unlimited kilometres and which have restricted mileage. Consult the rental agreement of the supplier for further details.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
A 4WD is not required to explore the wonders of the great outback. In fact, 95% of the Northern Territory's attractions are accessible by 2WD vehicles, such as motorhomes and campervans, because of the extensive network of sealed highways. Motorhomes and campervans must strictly adhere to driving only on sealed roads.
If you are new to campervanning, visiting Alice for the first time or travelling with family, we recommend using a motorhome or campervan. Getting around this way provides more flexibility.
Generally, 4WD campers may only be driven on recognised public roads and formed tracks (sealed or unsealed). Off-road driving is not permitted. In some cases, you can request written approval to access specific areas or routes and this must be arranged in advance.
In addition to unsealed roads, hire companies often restrict certain roads or tracks that are known to be especially rough, remote, or risky. If you drive into a restricted area, you may be liable for any damage and recovery costs, and your cover/insurance may be reduced or void. You may also be charged additional fees by the hire company, and if local regulations are breached, authorities may issue fines.
If you’re unsure whether a particular road or area is permitted, it’s best to contact the hire company before you travel.
For 4WD vehicles, a daily mileage allowance usually applies (around 300 km). After that, additional fees will apply.
The comparison tool will show which vehicles have unlimited kilometres and limited free mileage. Consult the rental agreement of the supplier for further details.
Some 4WD campers are equipped with a roof tent and self-inflating sleeping mats. This means that the vehicle doesn't have sleeping space inside. Instead, a tent is mounted on top of the campervan, which then can be set up for overnight camping.
For example the Britz Safari 4WD Camper (based on a Toyota Landcruiser) is mounted with a double-bed rooftop tent. The tent also has an annex with space for up to three more persons.
Other 4x4 campervan rental models have a pop up roof (pop-top campers) allowing for beds to located within the motorhome itself.
