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.

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).

Where can we leave our personal car while we have the 4WD?
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 experience in driving a 4WD?
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 to other places outside of K'gari?
Yes, however the vehicle must not be taken outside a 30km radius from Rainbow Beach. A map will be provided. You must let us know where you plan to go in advance!
How do we organise accommodation on K'gari?
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 book this separately. Contact our travel agents to book your resort!
Where can we get food on K'gari?
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.
