Hire Vehicles and Cape York OTL

Yeah I winched one out of Nolan's Brook back in 96 and he was definitely NOT supposed to be there then either.

Roger that. A mate of mine hired a vehicle from 4wd Hire Service a couple of years ago to travel up the tip over the OTL

Cryptic? Sorry, I didn't mean it to be cryptic. I have a genuine enquiry from some people who want to hire and do the OTL. The companies I've dealt with in the past have never allowed it. Thats all.
I thought someone here could have other knowledge/experience.

Concur, have dealt with them both to CY & Arnhem Land.....no probs, great service.

sorry to jump to conclusions......must be the sceptic in me :-)
Just seemed a strange question when i looked at it, as there was at least one well-known (well up north anyway) company providing just such a service. ;-)

As you were.....

I think you and I both read a bit much into it. I deal with that company all the time, but I've never asked them about the OTL. My clients however have always informed me that the hire companies I direct them to say no to OTL, I assumed that also meant 4wd Hire service.

Anyhow we will see what they say today.

Cheers

Thanks David.

Their terms and conditions for hire do not restrict this trip per se as it is more or less a "you break it, you pay for it" condition, which is only fair.

The only condition i can see that might affect this track is clause 13.13 stating that you are "not to make any unsafe or impractical water crossing".

I would be dissapointed if they restricted use after claiming to be flexible in their hire arrangements. Let's see what they say :-)

Thanks for that, I've never asked 4wd Hire Service who I've dealt with before about the OTL, but anyone who has travelled with me or planned to, has been knocked back re OTL by most of the others.

Cheers
