Car Hire

In Outback Queensland, hire car options vary depending on the town or region you’re visiting. Here are some of the car hire companies and services options available:

Car Rental Companies

Major Car Rental Companies have rental branches in larger towns including Roma, Mount Isa, Longreach, and Charleville. These companies offer a range of vehicles, including 4WDs, which are often recommended for exploring more remote areas of the Outback. Outback airports, such as Roma, Longreach, Mount Isa, and Charleville, have car hire desks. Pre-booking is recommended due to the limited number of vehicles available.

Local Car Hire

Local Car Hire Services can be found in smaller towns may have local hire companies, including Barcaldine Car Hire, and Outback Car Hire (Quilpie, Cunnamulla, and St George – commencing early 2025) which cater to specific needs like off-road adventures or longer-term rentals.

4WD Hire

4WD Specialists are available for those looking to venture into more rugged areas, companies including Thrifty and Britz offer 4WD rentals. Britz also has campervans available for those looking for both transportation and accommodation in one.

Campers and Motorhomes

Campervans and Motorhomes are for those who want to combine transport and accommodation. Rental companies offer campervans and motorhomes that are well-suited for Outback adventures.

Given the remote nature of the Outback, it’s important to plan ahead by checking the availability and ensuring the vehicle is suitable for the terrain you plan to explore. Many rental agencies also provide maps and tips for safe driving in the Outback region.
