4wd with towbar rental

depends on where you are...

Around here (Hervey Bay) near new 4bys (actually an increaing % are new) can be had for ~$150 a day over a week long period, less per day for longer rentals. Most of these have towbars!

Hi Steve,
not sure what weight trailer you have but I went through the same thing recently. There was plenty with towbars but no electric brakes. I was told there was a few at Hervey Bay (Budget) but at the time I needed one they were all stuck on Fraser Island when the bad weather was around in January. Avis, Thrifty and Network rental all told me they didn't have vehicles with electric brakes...??

Cheers

G'day Steve,

We camped near a family in Mt Isa last year and due to gearbox problems with their vehicle and deadlines to get home, they hired a landcruiser to tow their small campervan back.

As well as a very expensive exercise, it turned out to be a heap of bleep . Could not travel over 80kms an hour or have the aircon on without it overheating.

I cannot recall the hire company's name, but it's a case of hirer beware. If time allows, have a test drive with the CT on or at least quiz them on the vehicles condition/suitability for the job.

Cheers,
Paul
