Do You Need a 4×4 to travel Australia?

The short answer is no.

Many travellers explore Australia in campervans, station wagons, and standard two-wheel-drive vehicles.

It makes financial sense to buy a car to travel Australia rather than rent a campervan or rely on tours and public transport.

Why a Roof Tent SUV is popular for travelling around Australia

Most travellers visiting Australia for the first time don’t need a big 4×4.

For this reason, the most popular vehicle we now sell to travellers is a used SUV with a roof tent.

These vehicles give you plenty of space inside, plus a hotel on wheels on your roof.

Why a Roof Tent Is Ideal for Budget Travellers

A roof tent turns an SUV into a camper without the cost of a full campervan.

For travellers looking for the cheapest way to explore Australia, this setup is an extremely popular way to buy a car to travel Australia.

Instead of booking hostels or hotels each night, you can wake up near the beach or beside a national park, all while keeping your daily costs very low.

This SUV drives like a car, sleeps like a camper!

Many older campervans, and especially big 4x4s, are heavy, slow and thirsty on fuel.

This Roof Top Tent SUV drives like a car, parks easily, and sips less fuel on long journeys.

This is ideal for anybody who wants to buy a car to travel Australia.

With room for five, cold air-conditioning and modern safety features, this Outlander is a great option.

Most campervans only have two seatbelts; this Outlander has five!

Most campervans have only two seatbelts, but this Outlander has five, so you can travel as a larger group and split costs.

This Outlander Roof Tent has everything you need to explore free camping on Australia’s east coast with friends.

How Much Does It Really Cost to Buy a Car to Travel Australia?

One of the major advantages for anybody considering to buy a car to travel Australia is getting your money back at the end of the trip.

Typical costs include the purchase price, registration, insurance, fuel, and basic servicing.

Many travellers are surprised to learn that after resale, the real cost of travelling Australia by car for several months can be only a few thousand dollars.

It’s easy to see why people want to buy a car to travel Australia as it is the cheapest option to explore this amazing country.

Why Buying a Vehicle Is Better Than Renting in Australia

At first glance, renting a campervan can seem like the easiest option.

However, once you look at the numbers, renting quickly becomes expensive, especially for trips longer than a few weeks.

When you buy a car to travel Australia, you avoid high daily rental fees and expensive insurance add-ons.

You can recover many of those costs when you come to sell my campervan at the end of your journey.

That is why “how to buy a car to travel Australia” is such a popular question online.

Buying From a Specialist Dealer vs a Private Seller

Buying privately can sometimes be cheaper, but it also comes with risks, especially for international travellers.

A specialist dealer that understands travellers can explain the process clearly, help with resale planning, and make the experience far less stressful.

You can inspect the vehicle before you buy. You can also take it for a test drive.

And if English is not your first language, we have German-speaking staff in Sydney.
