I loved everything of my experience with Broome & Beyond! At the pick up and drop off I was welcomed by very friendly and professional people, who gave me clear instructions about the van. The van was very well equipped and I really enjoyed being in a solo-trip in such a comfortable and reliable vehicle. I would definitely recommend it and book again with them!

Had the most amazing trip from Darwin to Broome in the Toyota Hilux Dual Cab Hawk. The communication was brilliant with Brendan and Tracey and the workers at both branches, they went through everything thoroughly. The Ute had everything we needed and more. My partner is 6ft4 and fit perfectly in the sleeping compartment. Would definitely rent again from Broome and beyond, couldn’t recommend them enough.

We hired a Dual Cab Hawk which was great, (quickest tent set-up and pack-up we've had). The car was clean, well equipped and well maintained. The guys were very helpful - Vir at the depot in Broome and Brendan on the phone quickly responding to our queries. We'll definitely hire from Broome and Beyond again, hopefully soon. Cheers Kenneth

We had an incredible family adventure on the Gibb River Road thanks to WA Experts. The vehicle layout was perfect for our family of four—comfortable, reliable, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for remote camping. Everything was easy to use and thoughtfully packed. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and when we had a couple of minor hiccups, Brendan and John were responsive and super helpful. Highly recommend WA Experts for a hassle-free and well-supported 4WD experience in the Kimberley

We had a great experience renting a dual cab HiLux with a Hawk camper on the tray. The vehicle and supplied camping equipment was tailored to the needs of car camping along the Gibb River Rd. Quick to set up and take down, and well organised layout. We highly recommend Tracy and her team.

We would definitely recommend hiring a vehicle to experience The Kimberley. We picked up in Broome, traveled The Gibb River Road and returned the vehicle in Broome. It was fully equipped with everything we needed for our off road adventure and was so quick and easy to setup. The staff were very helpful, thanks!

This was our third time renting with you — and once again, everything was absolutely perfect.
Your vehicles are really thoughtfully designed to meet every need of an outback adventure. This definitely contributes to the magic of the journey. We drove along rugged red tracks, crossed remote river crossings, and camped in the most breathtaking natural spots — from Darwin to Broome, through Kakadu, the Central Arnhem Way, and the legendary Gibb River Road. We’re completely enchanted by this way of travelling — it’s hard to imagine exploring Australia (or anywhere else!) in any other way now. The bar has been set incredibly high. Oh, and by the way — I definitely made the most of the sun deck! 😉
Thank you for helping make this trip unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back — again!

This was our second rental with WA Experts and we loved it. The car was clean, new and had everything we needed for a great and safe trip in a beautiful part of Australia. Brendan and Tracey are so helpful with any issues that arise and the pick up/drop off was informative and helpful. Would highly recommend them for any 4x4 adventure!

Thanks Brendan, Tracey and the Team at Broome and Beyond Camper Hire. The adventure across the Gibb over the past three weeks was made possible by a great vehicle and camping gear. Like most would experience on a tough 660km track, there are going to be some issues. But that’s where Brendan and WA Experts really excel. Not only is Brendan available almost anywhere, anytime but his detailed knowledge of our vehicle enabled us to get things sorted without any issue and quickly. So we know who we’ll be booking with next time. Thanks again for helping make our adventure so much fun and memorable. We loved it 🙂

Absolutely fantastic! We had the Landcruiser to do the Gibb River Rd and it didn’t miss a beat. The vehicle was well equipped with everything we needed - just pack food & clothes and we were set for 2 weeks. Only issue we had was the auxiliary battery system was struggling but as soon as I let Brendan know he offered to get a new battery out to us. Great customer service and would thoroughly recommend them. Would definitely use again.

C'est la sixième fois que nous voyageons en Australie toujours sur ce mode. Si les vacances ont été si extraordinaires c est aussi grâce au véhicule qui a su nous emmener là où nous en avions rêvé. Très bien équipé, il a tout ce qui est nécessaire avec un tas de bonnes surprises et il a également permis de passer les soirées de façon confortable après une journée de route et je souligne particulièrement la literie qui a permis des nuits reposantes. Le personnel est très gentil disponibles et à l écoute. Lors de notre retour nous n arrivions pas à joindre une compagnie de taxi et ils nous ont emmené spontanément à l aéroport. Un grand merci à eux. Nous n hesiterons pas une seconde pour un prochain voyage à revenir vers eux.

From the first contact with WA Experts to the drop off, Tracey, Brendan and all the other staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful. Hired the 4WD Motor home and drove from Broome to Perth. The 4WD was great! There was 2 of us and the cabin was just right and had everything we needed. We will certainly be using WA Experts for our next adventure. Thank you guys for our amazing adventure in the “Pope Mobile” Vic & Karen

Wir hatten tolle 3 Wochen mit der Silver Bullet, wirklich das perfekte Offroad Fahrzeug. Auch mit dem Campingausbau und Equipment hat alles geklappt und es war auch alles vorhanden. Einzig eine Kaffeemaschine haben wir uns selbst mitgebracht. Bei Fragen war Brendan auch immer sehr schnell zu erreichen. Klare Weiterempfehlung!

Wir hatte im Januar/Februar den Camper Dove 4WD - Toyota Landcruiser gemietet und waren überrascht, wieviel Platz wir darin hatten. Meine Befürchtung das wir unser ganzes Gepäck nicht mitbekommen würden, hatte sich nicht bestätigt. Ganz im Gegenteil. Das Fahrzeug fährt sich super und die Ausstattung hätte nicht besser sein können: Es wurde an alles Gedacht und an nichts gespart. Hier merkt man, es sind Profis am Werk. Brendan und sein Team sind professionell, hilfsbereit, fair und sehr freundlich. Wir würden hier immer wieder ein Fahrzeug mieten und sind mega zufrieden!!!! Vielen Dank für das tolle Fahrzeug! Wir wünschen allen Campern darin allzeit gute Fahrt und einen spannenden Urlaub!

Everything was better than we had hoped for. Very efficient pick up. 4x4 was brilliantly equipped for all our needs. A lot of thought has gone into it. We did over 3000 km without incident, despite the rigours of the Gibb River Road. Roof top tent and bedding gave the best nights sleep. Returning the car was very smooth. Very friendly,efficient and informative staff at both ends and while booking and changing things around.A well run company, no disappointments whatsoever. So, competition will have to be fierce to better the offer.

From start to finish our booking with this company was one of the best we have ever had!! To deal with a company that has exceptional customer service from every member of their team we dealt with was so refreshing. The car was brilliant, everything was catered for for ease, reliability, back up if needed and just fun whilst exploring this beautiful part of Australia. We booked extremely last minute, got the lay of the land from the superstar at pick up along with a very thorough run thru of how everything worked. Truly we own businesses and quality is super important to us and Brendan, Tracey and their team have nailed it! It is a pleasure to scream the praises of people that run a fantastic service lead business, thanks heaps guys and we will see you again next time we are in WA.

We rented a 200 series pod landcruiser and had the best time traveling northern WA! The tent was comfortable and withstood the windy north with no problems. The truck was really well stocked and the team were fantastic. Tracey answered all of our questions while on the road and we had no issues with the truck whatsoever! We did a lot of research for what company to go with for our truck rental and we highly recommend these guys over Britz or Apollo. Thanks again!!

A massive THANK YOU to WA EXPERTS for the amazing experience we had exploring the beautiful Kimberley’s over the 14 days which was made possible through the hiring of their fully equipped 79 series land cruiser.

Car was in very good shape and everything went smoothly. Excellent and prompt communication prior to the trip also during, incredible handover and demonstration with setup and set down, and easy return with friendly costumer service throughout.

Won’t hesitate to come back to them next time we want another escape. Highly recommended for a peace of mind and enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience! We hired a 79 series Landcruiser with a rooftop tent for 3 weeks starting in Broome and ending in Perth. What an amazing way to see what WA has to offer. The vehicle included everything we needed and worked exactly as advertised. 1 or 2 minor issues but Tracey and Brendan are super responsive and made sure we were all sorted. Would not hesitate to hire from them again!
