Our Story
Adventure Shouldn't Sit in the
Driveway
We're building South Africa's most trusted marketplace for off-road rentals —
connecting owners with adventurers, and unlocking more journeys for everyone.
4x4 Things was born from a simple truth: South Africans love adventure —
but most off-road caravans, trailers, and camping rigs spend 90% of their life parked.
At the same time, thousands of travellers are searching for
well-maintained, affordable, reliable camping setups for weekend getaways, family holidays, and
bucket-list overlanding trips.
We saw the gap. We built the solution.
Expensive & Inconsistent
Renting is usually handled by small operators with limited availability
Zero Returns
Owners get almost no return on rigs they've invested hundreds of thousands into
No Modern Platform
No transparent, secure platform designed for the overlanding community
What Drives Us
Our Mission
To unlock more adventure for everyone by creating a trusted, fair, and modern marketplace for off-road
rentals in South Africa. Whether you're an owner looking to earn, or a traveller searching for the
perfect setup, 4x4 Things is built to make the entire journey simple and safe.
