Frequently asked questions

  • Can I cruise it off-road?
    We at Project Walkabout are all in favour of getting off the beaten path – we have kitted out all of our 4WD campervan’s with the intention of seeing more of Australia than just the freeway between Sydney and Cairns – you can explore places that most travellers don’t even know exist! We want you to get out there and see the real Australia – we love the iconic spots like Byron Bay and Uluru; these you can get to with an ordinary campervan – but if you are like us and want to explore the wonders of the Southern Lost City or Mitchell’s Plateau the Land Rover Defender 4WD campervan is the way to go!
  • What do I need to know about Defenders? And why should I rent one?
    Because they're simply awesome and timeless.  It’s been a labour of love for about 9 months to glam them up without losing their edge- they're built like no other.
  • How straightforward are the roof top tents to set-up and pack away?
    Easy as it gets, it takes a few minutes to set-up the tent before you can snug up. It’s the same for putting them away. Should you book with us, we will send you instructions ahead of your booking and you can always reach us if you need us. Here you can see a demonstration of how to unfold the roof top tent: https://player.vimeo.com/video/160042775?h=eae3c3f06e
  • Where are the vehicles located and/or where can I pick them up and drop them off?
    Sydney, Australia. Please contact us prior to booking to ensure the vehicle is in the location you require. We can also bring the car to your location within 50 km of Sydney for an extra fee.
  • What happens if I need to return the vehicle early?
    Refunds are not usually granted for early returns and are only provided in exceptional circumstances and at the sole discretion of Project Walk About.
  • What type of payment do you accept / how can I pay?
    We accept Visa and MasterCard at no additional charge.  American Express/AMEX will incur a 3% fee in addition to the rental.
  • How do I pay?
    Please click through our "book now"; link below. A non-refundable holding deposit will be charged at the time of booking in the amount of 75% of the total booking. There is also a bond held which is in the amount of insurance excess applicable to the driver dependent on age.
  • Are Australia's road rules different than overseas?
    Some rules may differ, depending on your country of origin. We ask that you do your own research.
  • What about insurance?
    Standard excess is $7,500. There are options to reduce excess, which can be selected at checkout.
