why 4WD hire in NT, requires drive on sealed roads

[deleted] When I last rented a 4WD from Thrifty in Alice Springs they handed me a flyer with the current list of tracks that were off limits Their rules vary with 4WD type, for a large 4WD they are Quote Access is denied as per above to the areas listed within the following regions:- [deleted] Central Australia Tanami Track, Gunbarrell Highway, Plenty/Donahue Highway, Canning Stock Route, Oodnadatta Track, Strzlecki Track, Birdsville Track only when travelling with another vehicle and with Thrifty?s consent and knowledge. /Quote They're joking, right!? Gunbarrell Highway and Canning Stock Route, 'yes' (AFAICT). But the rest!? Unless they mean "*or* with Thrifty's consent and knowledge.", instead of "and ...". The consent condition is quite common (for example Apollo and Camperworld also have it (IIRC)). But "only when travelling with another vehicle" is ludicrous for those tracks (at least as a general condition). (FWIW, we've driven all these normal tracks (i.e. except Gunbarrel and CSR).) |

Look on the site for yourself. Gunbarrell Highway and Canning Stock Route, 'yes' (AFAICT). But the rest!? Unless they mean "*or* with Thrifty's consent and knowledge.", instead of "and ...".
