Traveller's Autobarn

Another vehicle rental company, perfect for roadtrips in Australia. We rented a 5 seater volkswagon with plenty of storage space in the back. It came with everything they promised; no more or less. There was cuttlery, plates, bowls, cooking supplies, a gas stove, tent, cooler, chairs and a table. We bought blow up air mattresses, a pump, and some blankets to make the trip a little more comfortable.

We were able to plug our ipods/mp3 players into the radio to listen to our own music, and the car was spotless when we picked it up. Two and a half weeks later when we dropped it off, they told us we'd messed it up too much and directed us to a nearby car cleaner to have it cleaned out for the next renters. (I don't blame them, as we were pretty messy.)

It cost close to $900 AUD for the 2.5 week rental from Cairns to Sydney. It cost roughly $450 in fuel. Split 3 ways, it wasn't too bad. The more people you travel with, the more cost effective.
