#Tips for Driving in the Northern Territory

The Northern Territory may not see the same crowds as Queensland’s beaches or Sydney’s city attractions, but it offers a truly authentic Australian experience that leaves a lasting impression. Driving here, however, is unlike driving anywhere else.

One of the Territory’s greatest attractions is its incredible wildlife - yet on remote roads, especially after dark, this can quickly become a hazard. For your safety, we strongly recommend driving only during daylight hours. Choosing the right vehicle is also essential. If you’re venturing into the outback, a 4X4 is the best choice, with enough space for extra fuel, water, and supplies. Always plan your stops ahead to ensure you’re well prepared.

Road conditions can also vary significantly, and severe weather can make them dangerous at times. Stay alert, follow road signs and warnings closely, and always adjust your driving to suit the conditions.

Explore the Northern Territory's Hidden Gems

Have an adventurous spirit and ready to uncover the Northern Territory’s hidden gems? Start at Litchfield National Park, where you’ll find breathtaking waterfalls and the iconic magnetic termite mounds. Next, explore Kakadu National Park, home to the mighty Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls. For something truly unique, head east to the MacDonnell Ranges and discover the striking Ochre Pits.

For those seeking a deeper cultural experience, the Tiwi Islands offer a vibrant showcase of First Nations art and traditions that the NT is renowned for.

Got an upgrade upon arrival. At return, the service personnel offered us a lift over to the departure terminal - this would have otherwise been a long walk with our bags in 36 degree heat with over 80% humidity. Even though his driving was questionable including him scraping the passenger side of our rental vehicle on the gutter on arrival at the terminal - (we made sure to tell him that he was not to attribute any damage incurred to ourselves!), I found this to be an incredibly thoughtful gesture. I would rent from Sixt again even though they so far have no EV's for hire at Darwin.
