How to do Kakadu on a Budget
How to travel around the Northern Territory on a budget
Are you suffering from wanderlust yet have the bank account of a uni student? Don’t worry, we have the perfect solution for anyone who is wanting to do a self-drive holiday without the major cost of car hire.
Very often a traveller hires a car to get from point A to point B. But what happens when the car needs to go back to where it came from or go to another depot?
That’s where you come in. Using sites like transfercar.com.au and drivenow.com.au you can become the delivery driver for a nominal price or in some cases for free!
For example…you can pick up a car in Darwin and drive through Kakadu, stay overnight at the Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel, hop on a Kakadu Tourism 4WD Adventure Tour, all whilst on your way to drop it off the car in Adelaide! And if it’s a campervan, pull up for the night at Cooinda Lodge Kakadu at one of the powered sites, take an unforgettable journey on a Yellow Water Cruise, and be on your way all in two days. You will need to have a valid driver’s licence and be prepared to have an open mind… for the open road could take you anywhere!
Of course we encourage you to read the fine print and make sure you understand your obligations and level of insurance cover.
