Road Restrictions

Not all campers are suitable for all driving situations, so it’s important the right camper is chosen for the travel planned. At its discretion, Britz may restrict travel in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions, and the distance to nominated destinations in relation to the length of the rental period. If applicable, any further restrictions will be mentioned at pick-up. Guests are encouraged to contact On-Road Assist on 1300 850 805 if they have any concerns regarding road accessibility.
Guests who travel to restricted areas without permission may void the liability option in the event of damage or accident.
2WD CAMPERS:
Our 2WD campers aren’t equipped for rough terrain and cannot be driven on unsealed roads, with exception of well-maintained access roads less than 12 kilometres long which lead to recognised commercial campgrounds and major tourist attractions. Britz 2WD campers can be driven to any island on sealed roads provided permission is obtained from On-Road Assist at pick-up.
