Official website of the rental company

The rental company

Adventure Rentals, Toyota 4x4s for central and northern Australia

Adventure Rentals rents Toyota 4x4s designed for Australia’s great outback tracks. The rental company is based in five cities that are all gateways to the interior: Perth, Broome, Darwin, Alice Springs, in the heart of the Red Centre, and Adelaide. All its depots are in town or in business parks, none at an airport.

The range comes down to four models, all with an automatic gearbox. The Toyota Hilux 4WD Camper comes with one roof tent for two or with two tents for four, and five seats. The Toyota Prado 4WD Camper is aimed at couples. Finally, the Toyota Prado 4WD is rented bare, with no sleeping area, for those staying in lodges or hotels.

In the offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, no distance limit appears, and the excess is around €3,100 whatever the model.

Our verdict: a short but coherent range for travellers who want to reach Uluru, the Kimberley or Kakadu by dirt track, as a couple, a family of four or a group of friends. Its limits: roof-tent camping only, no departures on the east coast, a high excess and July prices well above those of the southern spring.

Our view

Adventure Rentals: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Adventure Rentals is ideal if…

  • You want to reach Uluru and the MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs
  • You are planning an off-road route in the Kimberley, the Top End or the Outback
  • There are four of you and a double roof tent suits you
  • You are looking for a 4x4 alone to sleep in lodges, hotels or your own tent
  • You prefer an automatic gearbox on long stages

Adventure Rentals is not ideal if…

  • You want a living area with kitchen, shower and toilet inside
  • Your tour starts on the east coast, in Sydney, Brisbane or Cairns
  • There are more than four of you
  • You dread climbing a ladder to go to bed every night
  • Your credit card does not cover an excess of about €3,100
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Adventure Rentals

  1. Hilux or Prado: count the berths

    The Hilux 2RR and its two roof tents sleep four people, whereas the Hilux 1 Roof Tent and the Prado 4WD Camper sleep only two. The Hilux has five seats in both versions: handy for carrying friends during the day, but the number of berths remains that of the tents.

  2. Avoid the July peak if your schedule allows

    July corresponds to the dry season in the North and the mild winter of the Red Centre: it is the most sought-after period. In our records, fitted-out 4x4s are significantly more expensive then than in October. May, June, September or October often offer a good compromise between weather and price.

  3. Sort out permits and tracks in advance

    Some Outback tracks require a permit to cross Aboriginal land, such as the Mereenie Loop near Alice Springs. Also check road conditions before setting off, and check in the offer’s terms which tracks the rental company accepts.

  4. Inspect the 4x4 and its equipment before signing

    At the depot, walk around the vehicle with the agent, photograph the bodywork, wheels and windscreen, open and close each roof tent and check the kitchen inventory. Save the rental company’s assistance number in your phone: on the tracks, mobile coverage disappears quickly.

  5. Carry spare water and fuel

    Between Alice Springs, Broome or Darwin, petrol stations can be several hundred kilometres apart. Fill up at every opportunity, carry several days’ worth of drinking water and tell someone your route before taking an isolated track.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Adventure Rentals

How much does an Adventure Rentals hire cost in Australia?

According to prices recorded in October 2026 over 15 days, mandatory fees included, the Prado 4x4 with no fit-out starts at €110 per day in October. For a fitted-out 4x4, allow from €137 per day in October, with a median of about €203, then €230 in January or April and €329 in July. The Hilux models were recorded at between €202 and €366 per day.

What is the difference between the Adventure Rentals Hilux and Prado?

The Hilux is a five-seat pick-up, fitted with one or two roof tents, giving two or four berths. The Prado can be rented either fitted out for two or bare, with no sleeping area, for a trip using accommodation. All are automatic 4x4s. The exact equipment of each version is shown on its model listing.

Can I depart from Alice Springs with Adventure Rentals?

Yes, Alice Springs is one of the five departure cities, with two addresses in the Ciccone district. It is an ideal base for the Red Centre: Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon and the West MacDonnell Ranges. For a longer trip, a one-way hire to Darwin or Adelaide via the Stuart Highway may be offered depending on the dates.

Is mileage unlimited with Adventure Rentals?

In the Adventure Rentals offers recorded by CoolDrive in October 2026, distance is unlimited on all four models, from the bare Prado to the two-tent Hilux. That is welcome in the Centre and the North, where a single leg can exceed 1,000 km. The terms of each offer remain the reference: read them again before confirming.

Do I need experience to drive an Adventure Rentals 4x4?

On sealed roads, an automatic Hilux or Prado drives like a large car. On dirt tracks, corrugations, sand and fords call for more caution: reduced speed, suitable tyre pressure, and no river crossing without checking the depth. Ask for a demonstration at the depot and stick to the tracks authorised by the rental company.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Adventure Rentals 4x4 and campervan hire in Australia

Why book Adventure Rentals with CoolDrive?

CoolDrive shows Adventure Rentals in the same search as other Australian 4x4 and van rental companies, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. You see the excess, mileage and extras before paying. To choose between a Hilux and a Prado or to fine-tune your Outback route, our experts are on hand before and during your trip.

What excess and security deposit apply with Adventure Rentals?

Our October 2026 records show an excess of about €3,100, the same for the bare Prado, the fitted-out Prado and both Hilux models. The security deposit is generally blocked on a credit card at departure; its amount and refund conditions are shown in the offer. Ask our experts about any reduction options.

What licence do I need to hire from Adventure Rentals?

The Hilux and Prado can be driven with a standard car licence. If your licence is not written in English, bring an international licence or a recognised translation, to be presented at the depot with the original. The required age and years of licence may differ by model: they are specified in each offer.

Can I return the Adventure Rentals 4x4 in another city?

Depending on the dates and the model, one-way hires may be offered between cities in the network, for example from Alice Springs to Darwin or from Broome to Perth, with possible one-way fees. In the CoolDrive search, choose a different arrival city: only the offers that accept this route are shown, full price included.

Where are the Adventure Rentals depots?

Adventure Rentals has six depots: Welshpool for Perth, Pembroke Road in Broome, McMinn Street in central Darwin, two addresses in Ciccone for Alice Springs and Torrensville for Adelaide. None is at an airport. Pick-up times and the address used appear on your confirmation.

How do you sleep in an Adventure Rentals 4x4?

On the fitted-out models, you sleep in a tent unfolded on the roof, reached by a ladder: the Hilux carries one or two. The Prado 4WD with no fit-out has no sleeping area; it suits a trip using lodges or equipped campsites. The list of equipment provided appears in each offer.
