Terms & conditions for 4WD Hires HIRE OF VEHICLE The hirer of the vehicle must be 23 years or older. All drivers of the vehicle must be over 21 years of age and hold a current drivers license and have had that license for more than two years.

All vehicle rentals require an approved credit card security bond before the vehicle can be released to the hirer.

All vehicle rentals are per calendar day (not 24 hours).

Vehicles are full of fuel at the beginning of hire and must be returned full of fuel. If the vehicle is not returned full of fuel the difference will be charged at a rate, which will include a service component.

Vehicles must be returned to the rental location prior to the designated time and in a clean condition.

Hire packages are subject to kilometre limits according to duration: 1 Day Hire = 150km / 2 Day Hire = 180km / 3 Day Hire = 280km (kilometer limits have been put in place as a guide for safety) if grossly breached charges will apply.

4WD HIRE BOND TERMS All 4wd vehicle hire packages are subject to a credit card bond of $1000 (groups 23 years & over) $2000 (for groups under 23 years, the hirer must be 23 years and drivers must be over 21years). Total loss liability is $6000 with an excess reduction to $3000 only for groups over 25 years). Bond refunds are completed up to 48 hours after the vehicle is returned in hired condition and a mechanical check has been completed.

COVID-19 HEALTH ANG HYGENE: In relation to the current social distancing measures put in place by governments to curb the current coronavirus outbreak, we would like our customers to know that we have implemented strict measures to adhere to the requirements. That is why we believe 4wd hire in your own group is the best option for travel to Fraser Island. We will be deep cleaning all hire vehicle interiors with Dettol between each hire. Maintaining strict social distancing measure during the safety briefing as it’s only your group and the instructor. Offering online check in for reading and signing of contract/waivers to reduce paper handling etc.

REFUND POLICY Although we are very sorry for any of your time lost due to a mechanical failure not caused by your own actions, we must stress that Fraser Island is a remote off road environment. Mechanical failures do happen despite the best maintenance procedures.

REFUND DUE TO LOSS OF HIRE TIME We will wherever possible replace the vehicle as soon as we can and extend your hire for equivalent time lost. The customer must be advised that we are restricted by car ferry times and tides when replacing vehicles and will not be held liable for delays in delivering vehicles as a result of these circumstances.

If extending your hire is not possible, we calculate your refund using the following method: we allow ten useable hours per day for the vehicle, we divide the cost you have paid per day (after local charges – ferry and permits have been deducted) by ten leaving us with a dollar per hour figure, we multiply the number of hours lost by the dollar per hour and refund this amount.

Although we will attempt to solve the problem as quickly as possible, we do not compensate for: personal stress due to a mechanical breakdown, missing connecting travel arrangements, use of any other unapproved travel means or accommodation, for having missed places you wished to travel to if you are unable to extend your hire or tides do not allow.

We do not refund money for hires cut short due to:

Bad weather (unless directed by Queensland parks or Queensland police to leave the island) Shortening of the rental period by the hirer, unless it can be rehired for that same period of time. Cars taken from the hirer due to misuse or abuse.

CANCELLATION POLICY - DURING A NORMAL WORLD TRAVEL SITUATION. Cancellations made 2 weeks prior to departure are subject to loss of any payment made in Low Season. Changes made less than 2 weeks prior to departure are subject to a $50 admin fee. Cancellations made to bookings prior to the aforementioned time period incur a $50 admin charge. Bookings made for High Season periods are subject to full payment with no cancellations or refunds within 1 month of departure.

Late arrival to the 4wd safety briefing of more than 20mins incurs a late fee of $75.

As our 4wd drive safety briefing is completed verbally in English; please advise us if you require extra written information in your language or if you are hearing impaired, as we can accommodate this with prior notice.

A full refund is given in the event that we cannot accommodate a booking due to unforeseen circumstances.

COVID-19 CANCELLATION POLOCY Please note that we have a relaxed cancellation policy due to the current world situation and the uncertainty that it brings to travel and wanting to plan your next trip. If you make a booking and it turns out you can’t make it due to travel restrictions we will offer a full refund. Or we are offering ON HOLD bookings where we make a tentative booking for you to hold your place and then send a secure payment link when it is certain that travel can go ahead. Unsure reach out!
