All of our 4x4 rental vehicles are equipped with the very best tech and equipment to help you make the most of our glorious countryside both on and off-road.

You might choose an off-road 4x4 rental complete with bull bar and side step as well as that essential dual ducted air conditioning.

Unsealed Road Usage
It may seem absurd but some rental companies don't allow their 4WD's to be used off the bitumen, and make you fully liable for any and all damage if you do! Not so at 1300 Meteor! Use on unsealed gazetted roads is welcome (other than beach work), and our standard Loss and Damage Cover remains valid to such use.

Travelling to a Mine, Construction or Industrial Site?
Safety and site requirements: Regrettably there is no such thing as a standard 'Mine spec' and requirements vary widely from site to site. Accordingly our rates may vary to suit the situation. When requesting a Quotation or making a Booking please advise which mine(s) you are proposing to travel to. If you have a copy of the Specification for that site it would be greatly appreciated if you pass it onto us. While our staff are familiar with the requirements of most mines in their branch area it is a constantly changing world and your co-operation in this regard will assist us to assist you!
We ask our clients to check and ensure that the vehicle supplied complies with the requirements of the site being visited and to satisfy themselves as to its suitability, at the time of collection. We do not claim to know actual conditions on site.
