Frequently Asked Questions

You can find our terms and conditions HERE. If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us either by email (info@reddirtrentals.com.au) or phone (+61 8 63 36 0000)

 

We understand plans can change unexpectedly. To cancel or change your booking, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. However, please keep in mind that the closer your cancellation is to the hire day, the higher the cancellation cost will be. This is because it becomes harder for us to find a replacement booking.

But don’t worry! If you need to cancel or postpone your booking and give us at least 90 days’ notice before the start of the hire period, you can receive a full refund (including your deposit). There will be a small administration fee of $110 (or a greater amount determined by the Company).

If you give us less than 90 days’ notice, a cancellation charge will apply based on a percentage of the total rental contract. Check out the table below for more information:

Refer to section 11 of our Terms and Conditions for more details.

At Red Dirt Rentals we want to make sure you have peace of mind when using our equipment. While our equipment is insured, you may still be responsible for a certain amount in case of damage or accident. To alleviate any concerns, we offer options to reduce your liability. Check them out below and choose the best one for you!

Please be aware that security bond returns can take up to 21 days to be processed from the drop-off date or date of claim resolution (if applicable).
The Hirer acknowledges and agrees that any damage liability reduction option shall not operate to limit liability if the Hirer breaches the hire agreement. No liability reduction option will provide protection against roof or under body damage to vehicles. Refer to full hire terms and conditions for further information.

At the start of your trip, a security bond must be paid. The amount you pay depends on the Liability Reduction Option you select. This bond will be charged to your credit card. If no damage or accident claims are made, it will be refunded to you. Please note that, in some cases, security bond returns can take up to 21 days to process from the drop-off date or date of claim resolution.

 

Our Terms and Conditions, section 9, provide additional information on this matter.

We want to take a moment to discuss our Liability Reduction Options. While they cover damage or accidents costs to our 4WD’s, it’s important to note that they don’t protect against other unexpected setbacks that may occur during your holiday.

For this reason, we highly advise investing in Travel Insurance. Not only does it provide peace of mind, but it can protect against a variety of issues beyond your control, such as trip cancellations, delayed departures, medical emergencies, lost/stolen items, and accidental injuries caused by you. Without travel insurance, you could end up paying out of pocket for unexpected problems or lose money if you must cancel a trip. Investing in travel insurance can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. So please, consider protecting yourself by taking out travel insurance before embarking on your next adventure.

At Red Dirt Rentals, we believe that transparency is key to building a great relationship with our customers. Luckily, all our 4WD rental vehicles come with unlimited kilometres and no additional driver fees. This means that you can enjoy your adventure to the fullest without any worries about exceeding your mileage! However, we do have additional fees to keep in mind. Here are the details:

  • One Way Fee: You may incur a fee if you pick up and return the 4WD at different locations. This fee is waived if you rent for more than 21 days.
  • Young Drivers Fee: Drivers aged 21 – 24 years will incur a $30 per day young driver fee.
  • Out of Hours Fee: We charge a fee for pick-ups and drop-offs that are outside of our regular hours. Hours may vary by location, so please check our website for the latest information.
  • Refuelling Fee: If the vehicle is returned with less fuel than when it was picked-up, a fuel service fee will be charged.
  • Cleaning Fee: We kindly request that you return our vehicles in a reasonably clean state. If the condition is deemed excessively dirty (both interior and exterior), a cleaning fee of $100 per hour will be charged. No need to panic, though – you don’t have to get it professionally cleaned. A bit of sand from the beach won’t hurt, but if you bring back half a ton of it, you’ll probably be charged. Similarly, if you enjoy off-roading, we kindly ask that you give the vehicle a quick wash before bringing it back.
  • Administrative Fee: In the event of damage Red Dirt 4WD Rentals will charge an administration fee to cover the costs of processing the paperwork.
  • Optional Extras: A fee will apply if you ask for extras equipment such as child seats, extra outdoor tables & chairs, crockery, and bed linen.

Absolutely! Just make sure you inflate and reflate your tyres accordingly.

Of course! But do avoid crossing any areas where the vehicle may be submerged or at risk of damage. Our top tip is to keep the water below the rim, which is the outer edge of the wheel that holds the tire. This will help you steer clear of any unfortunate car mishaps.

Our 4WD’s are made for adventure, but we kindly ask that you avoid driving on specific routes such as the Canning Stock Route, Old Gunbarrel Highway, Old Telegraph Road Cape York, Fraser Island, or the Simpson Desert. Also, please refrain from driving in circumstances that could cause damage to the vehicle, like submersion in water, driving through flooded areas, or contact with salt water. If the car is unsafe or any warning lights are illuminated, please do not drive. Lastly, make sure to adhere to all legislation, regulations, rules, or by-laws relating to road traffic. Let’s keep our vehicles and routes safe for everyone to enjoy!

You can read more in our Terms and Conditions, section 4.

Our 4WDs are available to drivers of 25 years and older.

Hirers under 21 years of age are not permitted. Hirers 21-24 years of age with incur a $30.00 per day young driver fee.

No, an overseas or interstate licence is fine. Please note if your license is not in English, it is recommended to carry an international driver’s license with you.

A physical, valid credit or debit card as well as a current, full, and valid driver’s licence, all in the driver’s name. Any additional drivers must also be present at the time of rental and provide a current, full, and valid driver’s licence.

Yes! Before you hit the road with our 4WD vehicle, we’ll guide you through all of its amazing features. Feel free to voice any questions or concerns you may have – our team is here to help!

Returning your rental vehicle can be a breeze if you keep a few simple tips in mind!

 

Refuel the vehicle to the agreed-upon level before returning it to avoid incurring any additional refilling fees.

 

Give the vehicle a good clean inside and out to remove any noticeable dirt, sand, or rubbish. A clean vehicle not only shows respect for the rental service but can also help you avoid any cleaning charges!

 

Return it on time to steer clear of late fees – timeliness is key!

 

Take a moment for a quick walk-around with the rental staff to note any damage or concerns.

We understand the importance of vehicle reliability when exploring Australia’s rugged terrain. That’s why we subject every 4WD to a comprehensive pre-rental inspection.

When you pick up your vehicle, we invite you to take a moment and record any noticeable damage or concerns with a friendly staff member on the Vehicle Condition Report. We’ll also take photos of any pre-existing damage, and you’re welcome to do the same. This way, we can ensure you won’t be held responsible for any pre-exiting damages!

Our commitment to vehicle maintenance ensures you embark on your adventure with confidence and peace of mind.

We understand that losing personal belongings can be stressful. If you’ve misplaced or had items stolen from your rental vehicle, please contact our team immediately.

While we cannot guarantee the recovery of lost or stolen items, we are committed to assisting you during this process.

To ensure a smooth rental experience, please adhere to the following refuelling and cleaning policies:

Refuelling: Make sure to return the vehicle to the same fuel level you picked it up at to avoid any extra refilling fees. In most cases, this means returning it with a full tank. It’s a good idea to fill up at a gas station close to the rental return location to ensure you meet this requirement easily.

Cleaning: We kindly ask that you wash the outside of your vehicle and vacuum the inside to remove any dirt, sand, and rubbish. Returning your 4WD in clean condition not only shows respect for the vehicle but also helps us spot any damages, saving you from unexpected surprises later. Plus, it helps you avoid any cleaning fees!

What Our Guests Say ...

Great
4.0
We had the best experience with Red Dirt. Their customer service was excellent and they assisted to make our holiday whilst in WA. Their cars and supplies was everything you need for a camping trip. I’d highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be back on our next adventure!
Rooftop tent 4x4 car gets you almost everywhere and provides you with all basic camping equipment you might need (complete camping kitchen, gas, towels, bed sheets, tools, ...). Perfect especially for overseas travellers with limited luggage.Engine and battery had a few hiccups on the 8000 kilometers we did but phone and email support was quick and helpful.Rooftop tent is super easy to handle. Takes less than 2 minutes. Setting up (or pack) the whole camping equipment takes maybe 15mins after getting used to.Company staff is also easy going, friendly and uncomplicated.
We spent an amazing month discovering the West Coast with our Red Dirt 4W !Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end: they took time to explain every features of the car, they were available when we had questions during the trip, they advise us nice spots on the road and no additional / hidden fees !The 4wheels is in perfect state, you have enough space everywhere for storing your stuff such clothes, food and car material.The tent is strong (even with the wind) and easy to install.We recommend !
This is a good deal on a serious 4wd car that can bring you heaps of joy. Having some offorad experience will help you to understand the oral instructions a lot better. I would recommend to do a basic offroad course before you attempt to go on long remote trips through the outback. Can not confirm the bad reviews (esp. on Andrew), overall had a very good experience.Good+ relatively cheap compared to other rental places, no cap on the kilometers+ very capable car (LC200)+ very good rooftop tent and top notch awning+ almost everything you need is included with the car (compressor, tools, water canister etc). The only items we bought on top were a better tool to deflate the tires, recovery tracks and a diesel can. None of these are essential but it saves a lot of time on the deflation + we felt safer having some recovery gear+ polite and very quick customer service regardless if you phone or mail them+ generous in terms of what you are allowed to do with the car in comparison to other rental places+ needed repairs brought to attention were done very (very!) swift and with no questions asked+ very easy return, got our deposit money back within 14 days+ we forgot to put some items back in after cleaning, received a mail with some pictures of the missing items. Found an returned them 5 days later than the car, no extra charge, no arguing.Neutral- pretty dirty seats and rooftop tent matrace on pickup but I simply rewashed the sheets and gave the seats a quick cleaning, 2 hours of work. I think this is a neutral because this means you dont have to be too careful not to make verything dirty on the trip which will definetly happen if you go offroad- very good but only oral instructions on the car, I think for many less experienced people an introduction video that explains the car and it's equipment and can be rewatched would be a great thing.- Secondary battery died slowly after a couple of days. This can happen and I don't think you can fault anyone for it. Repair handling was top notch and we got back en route within 2 hours.- no winch, we bought recovery tracks to be on the safe side- you can hire a PLB for 5$ per day, I think this should be included with the rent because many people will cheap out on it and this is simply an item everyone should have on them when going to remote locations in the outback- you have to return the car cleaned. I can understand the reasoning behind this and think it is ok that this is required. Paid 200AUD on top for the car cleaning but that was worth it not to have to get all that red sand off ourselves. Would be nice if this came as an upgradable option with the rental so you don't have to waste a half day of your rental time on it.Bad- Front tire alignment was off, this could have caused a breakdown in remote places since the tires were running thin on the inside. A mechanic should have seen this when inspecting the car. However the handling of this after I brought it to Andrews attention was absolutely perfect and we got new tires and an alignment within the same day, Andrew made sure this was done properly and very quickly.I felt the rental conditions on where you are allowed to go were very straightforward and pretty generous considering what can break if you dont know how to handle such a car. We mailed in a request for a special crossing (the contract states you should do this if unsure). Got a positive reply within the hour including some tips/instructions on how to properly proceed to not damage the car, again by Andrew himself. Very impressed with this one.The LC200 is a beast and will take you everywhere if you let your tires down properly (~ 30psi for currogated roads, less for sand). Had the trip of a lifetime, went absolutely everywhere we wanted without getting to the cars limits.Overall i think this was a 4.5 / 5 experience, but I can't give half stars and since the customer service was top notch I'm giving 5 stars.Average diesel consumption around 15l on the highway, probably more offroad. Did 30 days / 6000km.
Had a family getaway in Broome and arranged for a hire of a Toyota Landcruiser to be picked up from the Broome Offices. This allowed us to get around and explore the sites while there. Staff were wonderful and helpful and the car ran like a dream while there and was well equipped for any situation (They even included some chairs for us).Would use them again in a heart beat!
We rented a well maintained and serviced Land Cruiser from this company for a whole month to do the NT and the Gibb. We opted for the no worries insurance option and had two spare tyres included which was such a relief for traveling the Gibb (although we didn't need them). The pickup and introduction of the vehicle was thorough, speedy and efficient. The lady working for this company clearly knows what she is taking about and loves what she is doing.
Hired a land cruiser with roof tent and what a joy! First time camping and the team here are so helpful and knowledgeable and it makes a difference. No problem is too much to solve and they are very encouraging if you’re a newbie (like I was). Easy experience and great people who help at every stage. Many thanks, we will be back and I thoroughly recommend these guys!
Such a great experience. The car was unreal. So smooth and spacious.. great for long drives up north. Can’t wait to deal with you guys on our next trip!
We rent a car for a 8-day road trip form Perth to monkey Mia. When we arrive everything was set up and could even check-in 10min earlier. Service wzs great with an explanation of everything we would need to know about the car. They even provided more chairs and cutlery as we Were 4 and the car was originally designed for 2. We didn't have any issue at all with the car during the entire road trip. Very friendly staff, I could only recommend them if you're planning to rent a 4x4 so you can enjoy your road trip Worry free!
Very friendly staff. The 4WD we are renting is clean, well maintained, practical and space-optimised
Last minute booking and it did not disappoint. Great Value for money, Camper was so comfortable to sleep in and so spacious to move around in. All the equipment that came with the camping trailer i.e water tank, kettle, cutlery was great. Everything we needed was provided. I Would highly recommend Crikey Campers for an off road or camping trip. Customer Service was great and explained the set up of the camper great. Thank you for making our Easter Long Weekend, Nicola
Great team who are extremely nice, helpful and informative. Offered a great service at a great price. The car was also in outstanding condition. Very happy customer!
