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.

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?

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, our travel experts can help you book your resort stay.
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.
