      For some reason I don't think you'll be driving 2021 Shooting Brake Audis or Mercedes

    • Fuel use is likely to be high with these old cars

    I suspect some sort of trafficking behind this "deal".

    Probably not a great idea to encourage random people to drive into the center of Australia without any preparation or knowledge.

      best to get private insurance for it.

      • The issue with using a private insurer is that they will 'hold' $3000 from your card as bond.

      Do you have to feed and clothe the extra driver?

      • See JV's link above.

    • Good point. They should throw in some petrol.

      They may not need to.

    • +5

      The kind of people who road trip to Alice Springs aren't the same kind of people who fly into Alice Springs.

      • +1

        I think he's talking about flying out of Alice Springs because whoever drives there would likely want to come back.

  • Buried deep inside the T&C - unlimited kms but earliest time you can collect is 1pm, which burns most of the first day and $500 per day fee if you are late. Also steep fees for not returning the tank full.

  • basically they just need some drivers free drop theirs car to Alice spring.
