Vehicle hire

One way trips are notoriously expensive. Mainly, I believe, because the originating hireer will want to get their vehicle back, and you'd be [paying for the two way trip, even though you only drive it one way. The return journey will have to be done one way (by someone driving) or the other (by putting it on a truck and someone driving that!).

Either way, you are going to pay for the return.

Hi Andy

Have a look at this Car relocation site.

They do one way trips to get their hire vehicles to we're the need them returned, often at ridicules prices like $1.00 per day. Some even give you a fuel allowance.

Not sure what your time frame is, some of these companies only give a set time, like 5 days to do the trip. Others are a bit more flexible.

I did this for some of the big rental companies when I taught in the Pilbara and Kimberley. A great way to see the country.

Anyway - worth a look.

Cheers

I'm not sure if their vehicles will meet your needs, but Britz does rent various 4WDs. Also, their one-way fee is currently $380.

Agbucks - Britz, Maui and Backpacker rentals are all the one same business, operating under three different trade names, so that is a little confusing.

I've never heard of, or used "camper travel", and I do not know anyone who has used them. They have only two reviews on Product Review, and one is not complimentary.

Britz, Maui and Backpacker are professional and a large organisation. We hired a motorhome from Backpacker for two weeks, about 15 mths ago, and drove Perth to Darwin, one way.

Their pricing was very reasonable, we were upgraded free to a 6 berth Platinum model from a 4 berth, and their one way fee was $380, as a previous poster mentioned.

The motorhome was only 2 yrs old and in top condition. It was thoroughly serviced before we left - and when we had a delay caused by fitting two new front tyres before we left, Backpackers gave us an extra half-day free.

Be careful of companies who rent you high-km older vehicles, that have seen a lot of work.
