The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Adelaide are: Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Australia ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Australia are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In most cases, country roads have only two lanes, but traffic jams are rare in them. There are special pockets along each road that drivers can use to overtake or make a short stop in case of a breakdown or other emergency situations.
Busy roads are well-lighted, so travelling on them is very comfortable even at night. The control over the implementation of the road rules at night is as strict as in the daytime, so it is not recommended to ignore the traffic regulations even on deserted roads.
All the petrol stations are equipped with special electronic signs that indicate the cost of one liter of petrol of each type. Many foreign visitors get scared when they see three-digit prices, indicated on these signs. The reason is that in Australia the cost of a liter of fuel is traditionally indicated in cents.
