Travellers Mate is a family run business operated by a young, well travelled couple dedicated to supplying Budget Travellers (Backpackers) with an affordable and reliable means in which to explore our "GREAT COUNTRY".
Our customers agree we have the best value cars in Sydney, all fully serviced and tuned by Licensed Mechanic's and they all come complete with camping gear and the all important GUARANTEED BUYBACK PRICE in writing & Roadworty Certificates (pinkslip).

We feel buying a car has to be the best way for budget travellers (Backpackers) to see the REAL AUSTRALIA, rather than what the big name bus companies want you to see.
It is cheaper when you consider at the end of your trip, you have the opportunity to sell the car on for as much as you paid for it or very close.
The fact that a couple of round Oz bus tickets equates to the price of a car anyway, means even if you take up the GUARANTEED BUYBACK OPTION (UNDER 3 MONTHS 50% / OVER 3 MONTHS 40% OF SALE PRICE) as offered by Travellers Mate, you are still way ahead and have cash in your backpack to further your travels abroad.

ONE YEAR AUSTRALIA - WIDE WARRANTY IS INCLUDED ON ALL CARS OVER $3,000 AS STANDARD...... Our warranty we feel is the best available to you ,as it covers you Australia -Wide for unlimited kilometres and unlimited claims no matter the age of the car or the amount of kilometers it has travelled.
It covers you from day one for a full 12 months for any damage to your :
ENGINE up to $1,000 per claim (The cost of a good 2nd - hand engine for a Ford Falcon is approx $400 + labour)

The Travellers Auto Barn specialises in vehicles for independent budget travellers (backpackers) in Australia.

We have a large range of touring vehicles and usually have at least thirty vehicles in stock. The range includes campervans, Station-wagons, four wheel drives and motorcycles. Vehicles specific to your needs are also available on request.
All vehicles are available with a fixed and written " buyback price ". The buyback option is much cheaper than renting and much less harrowing and time consuming than buying privately.

Remember that you are not locked in to the buyback scheme and you are still free to sell the car to who you choose. ie Whoever makes you the best offer.
