Frequently Asked Questions
What are the age and license requirements?
Yes, drivers must be ages 21 or older. You must hold a valid drivers license and you must have held that license for at least two years.
Is fuel provided?
When you pick up your vehicle it will have a full tank of fuel. You must re-fill the fuel tank before returning your 4WD (failure to do so will incur an additional fee of $4 per litre).
When can I pick up my 4WD?
The vehicle can be collected any time from 7am and must be dropped off before 5pm.
Where can we park our car while we are on K'gari?
There is parking at Freedom Hostel in Rainbow Beach, however the vehicles are not monitored and it’s not secure parking, so it’s at your own risk.
Do we need national park permits?
Yes, you will need a vehicle permit and a camping permit if you’re camping. You have two options for organising this, and they are the same price:
1. Adventure 4WD Hire can book your permit for you during your 4WD hire booking.
2. You can book the permit yourself on the QLD Parks website: https://parks.desi.qld.gov.au/management/managed-areas/recreation/vehicle-permits
Is car insurance included?
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance is included in your 4WD hire. Optional upgrades for reduced excess or full cover are available.
Do we need 4WD driving experience?
No! There is a mandatory safety briefing that takes place at the beginning of your hire period. The Adventure 4WD Hire staff will cover their tips for driving on K’gari, as well as any additional safety information you might need.
Can we drive our 4WD outside of K'gari?
Yes, however the vehicle must not be taken outside a 30km radius from Rainbow Beach. A map will be provided.
How do we organise accommodation?
If you want to camp, you can add a camping gear package to your 4WD hire. This is $30 per day, or you can bring your own camping gear. You will need to organise your own camping permits!
If you want to stay in a resort, you will need to organise this directly with the resort on your own.
Is food included?
Food is not included in your 4WD hire. Though there are a few supermarkets and restaurants on K’gari, we recommend bringing your own food from the mainland as it’s more affordable.
