Great experience with Jeep Wrangler
A great adventure with a great Jeep Wrangler 4WD. Friendly people at pick-up and drop-off locations. Perfect way to travel Australia! I would recommend everyone to rent a 4WD at Australian 4WD Hire.

Amazing 4WD Cars and amazing trip!
We had an amazing trip with our 4WD. Everything went without problems and we highly recommend Australian 4WD Hire. We had all the equipment we needed. The vehicle was great, performed well and the roof top tent was so easy to set up! We were 4 people in total and it was just perfect. They even gave us a tent to set up. Everything included, very glad we chose Australian 4WD Hire!

Great 4WD Hire Company!
I recently hired a Jeep Wrangler from these guys on a trip over to Perth as a 4WD is a must if you really want to visit the most beautiful places in Australia. Besides it handling amazingly off road and on beaches, it was an extremely nice car to drive inner city and to the more accessible tourist locations. It was clean and tidy from the beginning and their customer service and communication was great and quick to respond. Super happy with my hire! Payment was made easy via card and the bond processed on location. Nothing to fault here!

Perfect for family trip!
We had a beautiful adventure camping with our 2 kids (6 and 10 years old) with the hillux in the national parks around southern Victoria. The gear was very practical and well maintained and the car was very well serviced.
The company staff was very friendly and helpful. We got our bond back fast without any problems. The contract was a bit difficult to understand with all the legal jargon but for the rest we were very satisfied.

A great drive through the outback central WA
Hi Maryna
We had a great trip around the central WA back roads.
The vehicle was great. Performed well, as did the supplied equipment. Even the roof top tent worked well. We were two guys and I was sceptical that the sleeping area would be a tad cosy..... it wasn’t and in fact plenty of elbow room.
The pub building is the only remaining structure in the abandoned WA mining town of Big Bell. A 20 year mining boom from 1935. Broken Dreams! East of Cue. The only inhabitants now were snakes and Roos.
The London Bridge is in the Nature Reserve ...Read more

Brilliant 10 days in SA thanks to A4WD!
On a last minute holiday, we were lucky enough to book a Toyota Prado with Australian 4WD Hire for 10 days of fun in South Australia. Paul, the local agent in Adelaide was super friendly and laid back which put as at ease right away, especially considering we had never been offroading in a 4WD.
The vehicle was as described and included everything we needed for bush camping. Make sure to check the condition of everything before leaving the depot and speak up if you think something is not in great condition and make a note of it. We didn't nee...Read more
d to, but things can wear out and break while out and about so better to be sure. We took the 4WD on unsealed roads - nothing too extreme, mainly gravel/sand/small rocks etc. and it performed great. Again as a first time offroader - we felt comfortable the entire time and did not doubt the car once. We will be hiring with A4WD again and we'd highly recommend them if you're are looking for exciting outback adventure!1 comment

Excellent 4WD - Clean Equipment - Great Customer Service!
Hi Maryna,
Thanks again for your excellent customer service! The Prado I rented from you over the last ten days was in perfect condition and it was a pleasure to drive. As you promised, all the equipment- truck, tent, refrigerator and camp gear were spotless. My daughter and I had a great trip which was due in large part to your Australian 4WD team. I will definitely be renting from you again.
Kind Regards,

What an incredible experience that was
Having arrived in WA with no idea what was in store, as soon as we entered the A4WD office we were made to feel at ease. An abundance of information and detailed walk through of the vehicles made us feel at ease right away.
It set the tone for our adventure in these new and well maintained off road vehicles and it proved to be an amazing experience for our family whilst on the road.
On return we did make a couple of superficial dents to the vehicles and we happily used our bond to ensure the damage was fixed for the next clients. These thin...Read more
gs can happen when on the road and so we budgeted for it accordingly. these trucks are so well equipped but it definitely pays to check over all the equipment to make sure you have everything you need for this trip. All in all we had an amazing experience travelling from Perth to Albany in these luxurious off road vehicles :D1 comment

I will be soon again in Australia! 100% my car will be hired in Au. 4WD Hire!
customer service was efficient, clear and fast.
bond payment was asked little late, but they took cash with no problem... so that was perfect for me.
The vehicle was not the same, but the one I got was better. (even if I wanted to have more fun with a manual gear...)
I hired the vehicle to go camping in Fraser island and other places, the vehicle and gear provided was more than enough and what I needed.

See you again next time!
Now that our holiday in Australia has finally ended I may say that our decision to rent a 4WD car from Australian 4WD Hire was a good one. I absolutely would choose this company again.
We hired the car in Alice Springs to drive via the West Macdonell ranges, Kings Canyon, Ayers Rock, Oodnadatta track and Arkaroola to Adelaide. We visited Palm Valley and did one excursion in Arkaroola where we really needed the 4WD and high clearance capacity.
We planned our trip from end of November till middle of December 2018. So when we first asked for...Read more
a quotation without questioning from our side we directly got a reduced offer because we rented the car at the end of the season and they didn't calculate a one way fee. That was a fine start for us. The communication before we finally took over the car was very clear and informative and they were really sitting on top of things to prevent any surprises. Due to language problems still one surprise occurred: unlike usual car renting agencies they asked for a security bond which is not - as we wrongly assumed in the beginning - a reservation on your credit card but an EFT of the total sum to them. So be aware that you have this sum available in real money! After delivering the car back in Adelaide they were very fast to transfer the total amount back to us. So in total this procedure was unusual for us but is still working fine.1 comment

Great trip, thanks to a great car!
My experience with this company was good. I hired a Toyota Hillux for two months to travel from north Australia to south west Australia. The car was great (good condition, clean and what I expected and needed for the trip) and pick-up and drop-off went smoothly. The camping gear that came with the car was also of good quality. I really appreciated the tire pressure pump included in the recovery kit as I understand those are not always included by other companies. Finally, when I encountered two minor issues with the car the company's response was quick and helpful.

Great way to get off the beaten track
We are return customers of Australian 4wd Hire, as we like to get off the beaten tourist track and into the more remote parts of the country. We found booking and any question we had were handled quickly and efficiently. As was the bond repayment. Having most of the camping gear included is great for us coming from NZ. The pickup and drop off was also fast and efficient although there is quite alot of reading to do. Thanks to the team

4WD RTT Camper was great
We had a great time in the outback, driving the 4WD RTT Camper along the Oodnadatta track. Pick up in Adelaide and drop off in Alice Springs were smooth and quick. The rooftop tent and the awnings were very functional and easy to open and close. Security bond was released without a fuss within a few hours of handing over the vehicle.

Amazing Family Holiday
We had a very pleasant experience, head office crew was the most attentive and ready to answer all of our questions before, during and after hire.
Supplying lots of pictures and links that made our preparation for the whole trip much easier. Agent in Perth was helpful and had a great knowledge about the area.
The whole camping style travel was new to us but we have really enjoyed it mostly because we were provided almost with everything that we needed for the trip.
Coming from overseas you cannot ask for a better package. Thank you!

Really smooth experience with all the support that we needed.
I booked a car to pickup in Cairns,use around lower Cape york and then drive back to Brisbane. The communications with the company were always very prompt, polite and friendly. The agents in Cairns were great and spent time going over everything with the car including tailoring the camping gear for the number of people we had and explaining how to use and setup the tents. The car was in good condition, was comfortable and the fridge was a great bonus. The agents in Brisbane were also friendly and the return was easy.

e one of only a few companies that allow people to go to remote outback locations and as such they have very extensive terms and conditions to cover usage of their vehicles. Make sure you read and understand them. I had questions and they answered them clearly and straight away. The bond was a payment up front to cover insurance excess but was returned within 2 days of returning the car and I had my bond paid back in full. I haven't dealt with the company before, have no prior association with them and I run a small IT consultancy in northern NSW. My dealing with Australian 4WD hire was very professional and polite. They were easy to deal with and I would happily do business with them again.1 comment

You'll find all new contact information on www.explore4wdhire.com.au
I really hope this helps you and others, but i may doubt it.
They are off the charts these guys! Trading insolvent !
Hi,
Check out the page Hans mentioned.
Hope it helps. It seems also pending on when you hired / payed bond and to which account.
Conor O.asked
Is this company still operating, ieatwords appears to think you are not? Your website is offline, your email address doesnt work but you are still posting 5 star reviews but not answering customer questions?
1 answer
The company changed its website to Explore4wdhire.com.au. As of today the phone number is disconnected. I rang to ask them about my deposit return. The ABN is the same, 638025911. The ASIC website shows the owner as Mahesh Thakur. The registered address is '1605', 530 Little Collins Street, Melbourne which is a mens tailor who knows nothing about the business. Product Review is doing a disservice allowing these 5 star ratings through given the overwhelming evidence that the company is not trading and owes over $300,000 in bond payments to customers.

Is your company still running as I have booked a car in Broome in May and paid a deposit..

Have you tried contacting the agent in Broome to see what they say?
I would honestly try to get your money back and rent off a different company.
Don’t pay them a further cent
The new company is corrupt and Probly a family member from previous owner
They have ripped off countless people
They owe us over 8 k
Our car was a lemon and we still paid 3 k for the hire
Also they have not repaid our 5 k in bond
A total ripoff business
