Four wheel drive (4WD) and two wheel drive (2WD) vehicles can be hired from Darwin, Jabiru and Katherine. Restrictions may apply to the hire of your vehicle and insurance policies may vary. Some plans do not offer roadside assistance in remote areas or cover for travel on ungazetted roads. Companies rarely insure single vehicle accidents at night, so drive cautiously as native animals and stock often wander close to roads at this time. Check the conditions of your insurance policy at the time of booking and ensure the hire car company explains how to use your vehicle, including how to engage the four wheel drive function.
Although a two wheel drive (2WD) vehicle will get you to the majority of sites and attractions in the region, to explore some of the special locations in remote areas, a 4WD is absolutely essential. Good travel advice for those using 4WD vehicles is to make the trip fun, but keep it safe, make sure you plan ahead for your journey and always advise somebody of your travel schedule.
