Locally maintained fleet and regional readiness

Our vehicles and bikes are serviced with regional conditions in mind. Regular maintenance cycles, fully checked tires, fluids and battery health for electric bikes give you confidence on long outback stretches. Each car undergoes a comprehensive inspection between hires, and e-bikes receive a battery and brake check to ensure safe, predictable performance. When you pick up a vehicle, we provide a short orientation highlighting recommended fuel stops, charging or battery swap options and practical advice for remote roads.

Transparent pricing and flexible durations

Clear rate cards, optional insurance layers, and flexible booking durations reduce surprises. Choose hourly, daily, weekend or longer-term plans with visible inclusions such as mileage allowance, roadside assistance, and cleaning fees explicitly outlined. We support last-minute bookings when inventory allows and provide fair, prorated charges for early returns. Payment options include card and local bank transfers, with invoices and receipts supplied for every transaction. Our pricing model is crafted to keep travel budgeting simple and honest.

Local support and route guidance

We provide practical local guidance for safe, enjoyable travel including suggested day routes, points of interest, recommended rest stops and weather-aware advice. Our team can recommend suited vehicles for the routes you plan and advise on road surfaces and seasonal conditions. For visitors planning to explore natural reserves or remote tracks, we outline essential safety checks, estimated fuel needs, and contactable emergency services. Our goal is to support confident, well-planned outings.

Sustainable mobility options

Electric bicycles and efficient compact cars reduce environmental impact and provide economical alternatives for short distance travel. Our e-bike fleet is composed of pedal-assist models with dependable range for typical sightseeing loops; batteries are swapped or charged to full before every handover. We encourage eco-minded choices through discounted daily rates for electric rentals and advice for low-impact travel—helping guests reduce emissions while enjoying local landscapes responsibly.

Safety-first training and gear

Prior to departure we provide a brief vehicle orientation and safety checklist. E-bike hires include helmets, reflective gear, and a short safety briefing covering local cycling etiquette and route-specific cautions. Car hires include directions for emergency kits, spare tire locations, and simple troubleshooting. For longer or more adventurous trips we offer optional add-ons like extended roadside coverage and additional briefing for driving on unsealed roads.

Community-conscious operations

We operate with respect for local communities and partner with nearby service providers for maintenance and guest assistance. Our team prioritizes hiring locally and keeping logistical flows transparent and supportive to the regional economy. When possible we route guests to community-run attractions, local cafes and cultural experiences that help spread tourism value across the area and encourage sustainable visitation patterns.

Our story and commitment to smarter travel

Move Metro Rentals was founded by a small team who wanted to open up comfortable, dependable local mobility for visitors exploring the unique landscapes around Tennant Creek. We saw an opportunity to combine practical vehicle options with personal local knowledge, clear pricing, and sustainable choices that suit the variety of travel styles people bring to the region. Our founders come from backgrounds in tourism operations, vehicle logistics, and customer service, and together they shaped a rental experience that values reliability, safety, and friendly local insight.

We believe a great rental experience blends straightforward booking with on-hand support if plans change. To that end we keep direct lines of communication open, prepare vehicles with meticulous care, and offer flexible pickup arrangements that respect your schedule. Our team invests in training, routine inspections, and partnerships with trusted local mechanics so each handover is smooth. Beyond vehicles, we're deeply aware of the landscapes and communities we operate in, so we promote responsible travel, share region-specific tips, and encourage guests to explore responsibly.

Behind the scenes we continuously refine our fleet mix and service options to reflect guest feedback, new mobility tech, and seasonal patterns. Our local staff are always ready to suggest shorter scenic detours, quiet picnic spots, or the best vantage points for sunset photography. We want each journey to be safe, comfortable, and memorable—so you return with stories rather than transport hassles.
