Australia has over 1 million kilometres of roads stretching through every imaginable landscape. What better way to tailor your exploration of them than behind the wheel of a hire car or van ? Hiring allows you to head off into the outback or explore areas of this intriguing country without the constraints of tour itineraries and pre-established stops.

Australia offers a huge range of hire cars and vans from budget ‘rent-a-wrecks’ through to luxury autos. Those wishing to take the comforts of home with them on their journey can easily hire a van or caravan and take advantage of the extensive network of caravan parks throughout the country.

Major rental companies operate from both the domestic and international airport terminals, and offer pick-up and drop-off services.

A quick browse through the yellow pages telephone directory, or a trip to www.yellowpages.com.au will lead any self-drive traveller to a hire service that meets your individual needs.

Please note that safety precautions need to be followed when touring through Australia’s remote and harsh terrains. Notify authorities of your whereabouts, carry emergency supplies and be prepared not a statistic !
