4WD Clubs News FAQs (frequently-asked questions)

There are benefits to club membership not enjoyed outside the association, such as:

• access to an excellent, and more comprehensive than most, vehicle insurance scheme (which may be economically extended to cover camping equipment etc). Members can also find the latest copy of the Cover Note newsletter, along with other information, o­n the broker's web page.
  
• A discount purchasing.
  
• Access to low cost quality training in vehicle operating techniques.
  
• Access to a better than average Public Liability Insurance coverage when travelling o­n club trips.
  
• Voluntary Workers Insurance coverage for volunteer projects undertaken by club members.
  
• The fellowship of club members, no matter where you might be in Australia.
  
• Access to HF radio networks.

The Clubs' activities offer support and advice to new four wheel drivers, through personal contact and reference libraries.

Most Clubs are able to offer members discounts for the purchase of spares, equipment, and services. Probably more important, is the opportunity to gain access to members more experienced in the type of driving likely to be encountered o­n your trip.

Be in it. Help to promote this controlled attitude which will be recognised as responsible use of our roads and tracks, and help to preserve access to public land for all to enjoy.

Many Clubs take the name of a particular vehicle, but while there may be a predominance of a particular make of vehicle in that Club, many are not exclusive of other makes.

Contact the club to find out what they can offer, and ask details of meeting times and places, activities and fees.

Other activities which compliment trip planning and travel, are social functions, film nights, guest speakers covering a wide variety of topics, technical sessions, 4WD training and interclub activities.
