Before we begin the whole conditions things we just wish to say the following to be clear on information we provide here.
1a. The information, advice, personal experiences we share on our site is solely for the benefits of our booked clients of the www.australia4tours.com, www.australia4wdrentals.com, www.australia4wheeldriverentals.com.
1b. As such our content is based on our real life experience, real client experiences, government department and some research from Google (that content we double check for accuracy as best as we can).
1c. When you arrive at your destination and pick up your vehicle please always remember check your information with the local visitors information centre for updates to local access areas, accuracy and any information you still need to know. We over 20 years have found the following visitor information's in Darwin, Alice Springs, Katherine, Broome and Derby to offer outstanding service to our client when our clients physically visit them.
1d. We have tried ever so hard to offer real photos from our own 25,000 photo collection, our clients, the NT and WA Tourism bodies along with a touch of images with credits off Google and Shutterstock and Photos.com (under Lic LetsAllThink our company). As such to fit the frames of this site we had to adjust some photo's by cutting the image or resizing out of scale such as 300x233 that was 300x231. We have done our best to offer you accurate data.
1e. Some brand logos and names have been removed from this sites images and your rental will display a logo with a brand name from the main suppliers and majority of smaller brands. If you must require a vehicle with no logo such as our film crew clients often do then email us and we will see what we can do.
1f. In this site we link out to many other websites including affiliate partners. An affiliate partner is a company that www.australia4tours.com, www.australia4wdrentals.com and www.australia4wheeldriverentals.com have entered into a agreement whereby we offer a tracking link to their external website so you can see, get a quote and book a product, brand or range we do not offer. After completion of a booked trip we receive a small commission. All affiliate bookings are between yourself and the affiliate company not us ( www.australia4tours.com, www.australia4wdrentals.com and www.australia4wheeldriverentals.com). If you have enquiries during travel, after travel or upon booking please ring that affiliate company in question.

Extract: For example, a policy may list sensitive information relating to 'health information about an individual', 'racial or ethnic origin', 'criminal records', 'religious affiliation' and 'political opinions.'

We request the clients citizenhip as this now a requirement from our major self drive supply hire operators requirement as there are Australian/New Zealand resident/citizen rates applicable on most requests. We request the ages of all travelling but require the drivers age as the min age requirement applies to self drive hire and also child ages due to Australian child restriction laws. The same applies for tours with ages of seniors as the tour company may request a medical certificate of a passenger on strenuous adventure tours and children may be to young for select adventure tours.
