Welcome to VanRoute

VanRoute is your essential companion for safe caravan and 4WD travel across Australia. We help you plan routes that avoid low bridges, narrow roads, and other hazards that could damage your vehicle or put you in danger.

Why VanRoute?​

Traveling Australia with a caravan, motorhome, or 4WD is an amazing experience, but it comes with unique challenges:

  • Low Bridges: Over 57,000 height-restricted bridges and underpasses across Australia
  • Narrow Roads: Roads too narrow for large vehicles to safely pass
  • Unsealed Roads: Gravel and dirt roads that may not be suitable for caravans
  • Weight Restrictions: Bridges with load limits that may not support heavy vehicles
  • Sharp Turns: Tight corners that long vehicles cannot navigate

VanRoute identifies these hazards before you encounter them, allowing you to plan safe routes and enjoy your journey with confidence.
