Relocation Specials: Affordable One-Way 4WD Travel
When it comes to relocating our rental cars between locations, a helping hand is sometimes needed. This opportunity is NOT aimed at holiday-makers but at individuals seeking a cost-effective way to travel between locations.
Red Dirt Rentals offers relocation specials that allow you to move our 4WD vehicles between depots at a fraction of the cost of traditional car hire. If you need to get from one location to another without the hassle of a return trip, this is the ideal solution. While this service isn’t suited for holiday goers, it’s perfect for those seeking a budget-friendly one-way journey.
How Do Vehicle Relocations Work?
Relocation specials are available when we need to transfer our fleet between depots in Perth, Broome, or Darwin. By becoming a relocation driver, you assist us in moving our vehicles, and in return, you get a highly discounted rate for your trip. This type of service is perfect for travellers with specific destination needs, rather than holidaymakers looking for a round-trip journey.
Why Choose a Relocation Special?
Low-Cost Travel: Save significantly on travel costs. Relocating a vehicle is one of the cheapest ways to move between major cities or regions.
One-Way Flexibility: No need to worry about returning the vehicle to the same location—just drive from one depot to the next. Efficient Route
Planning: If you need to get between Perth, Darwin and Broome, relocation driving can be a great way to do so without the typical expenses of a one-way hire.
Taking on the role of a relocation driver means following precise guidelines and restrictions, including time constraints, road limitations, and no night driving.
