Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any restrictions when travelling through central Australia in a motorhome?

Generally rental 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:

  • Uluru (Ayers Rock) – Accessible via sealed road; suitable for all campers
  • Mereenie Loop – Access for 4WD vehicles only; written permission is usually required from the rental company
  • West MacDonnell National Park – Most roads sealed; suitable for most campers
  • Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) – Roads are sealed; suitable for all vehicles
  • Alice Springs Desert Park – Road to entrance is sealed; suitable for all vehicles

Are there any restrictions on where I can take my 4WD rental vehicle?

Generally, 4WD vehicles can only be driven on recognised sealed tracks.

Exceptions can be made for some areas, however, permission is usually required in advance especially for any off-road areas.

In addition to unsealed roads, companies may restrict certain roads or trails with a reputation for being rough or rugged. If you take your vehicle into an area that is restricted you will be liable for all damages and in some cases will also have to pay a fine.

If unsure about a certain area, it’s best to contact the rental company in advance.

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.

Alice Springs 4WD Campervan Tips

Do you need a 4WD camper to explore Alice Springs?

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.

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.

How does a rooftop tent work?

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.
