Often when thinking of travelling in Australia, tourists think of the vast open planes of the outback, sometimes they think of the lush tropical rainforests and rivers of Northern Queensland and other times it’s the rugged beauty and grandeur of The Kimberly in Western Australia.

Often when thinking of travelling in Australia, tourists think of the vast open planes of the outback, sometimes they think of the lush tropical rainforests and rivers of Northern Queensland and other times it’s the rugged beauty and grandeur of The Kimberly in Western Australia. In most of these cases to truly understand the scale, serenity and beauty of these places you will need a 4WD to get you there.
Hiring a 4WD camper can be exhilarating as you get off the beaten track, the sealed roads and contact with civilization and truly immerse yourself in the openness of Australia. Catering for this market takes a specific kind of vehicle and there are only a handful off suppliers that are taking on the challenge. Below is a list of all the campervan and motorhome companies that supply 4WD camper hire. There are some that are national, and there are others that are state and region so you will either have limited places to return the vehicle, or you will have to return to the depot you picked up at. There is one company, Campabout Oz, that is clearly aimed and one of the more popular treks from Perth to Darwin (or reverse) as they have depots at both ends of that route and in the middle.
