Rental Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender 4x4 with Rooftop Tent Rental

Looking for a road trip that feels wild, without giving up comfort? A Land Rover Defender 4x4 with a rooftop tent gives you the essentials: an iconic overland vehicle, real off-road capability, and the freedom to sleep close to nature.

With Pampa Cruz, you can book a Defender built for adventure (rooftop tent and camping gear depending on the vehicle), with a human-first service to help you pick the right setup for your route and travel style.

Why choose a Defender with a rooftop tent

A true 4x4 made to explore

The Defender is built for rougher roads, changing terrain, long distances, and the rhythm of an itinerary-based trip. It’s a proper overland 4x4: stable, reassuring, and ideal for road trips with remote stopovers.

Simple, comfortable nights under the stars

A rooftop tent turns any stop into camp. Park, pop it open, sleep. No need to chase accommodation every evening—just keep your freedom, with more comfort than a ground tent.

Character, not just performance

Beyond specs, the Defender is a way of travelling: slower, more authentic, closer to the outdoors. That’s the Pampa Cruz spirit—slow adventure.

Defender 90, 110, 130: which one fits your trip?

Depending on availability, you may find different Defender generations and configurations:

• Defender 90: compact and agile, perfect for couples and narrow roads.
• Defender 110: the best balance of space and versatility for 2 to 4 travellers.
• Defender 130: longer body, ideal if you want more room and comfort.

Engines and series (Td5, Tdi, Puma, etc.) matter less than your use-case: comfort level, passengers, gear, and route. Pampa Cruz helps you match the vehicle to your adventure.

Typical adventure gear you’ll often find on board

Every Defender is different (equipment depends on the vehicle), but travellers usually look for:

• Rooftop tent + sleeping setup (mattress / bedding)
• Camp kit: table, chairs, storage
• Mobile cooking: stove, cookware (depending on the vehicle)
• Power & autonomy: 12V fridge, auxiliary battery, plugs (depending on the vehicle)
• Cargo options: roof rack / rack system for extra gear (depending on the vehicle)

Tip: travelling with a family or lots of gear (surf, hiking, photo)? Prioritise storage, power, and a solid cooking setup.

Defender road trip inspiration by terrain

Mountains & scenic routes

Perfect for epic viewpoints, mountain passes, and sunrise camps. A Defender 110 is often the most versatile choice for this style of trip.

Forest tracks & authorised trails

A 4x4 makes sense for nature-first routes—while staying on legal access roads. Great for hiking, photography, and discreet camping.

Coastlines, dunes & wide-open spaces

Depending on the destination, you can mix coastal driving with back roads and remote overnights. It’s the ideal playground for a 4x4 + rooftop tent combo.

How to book your Defender on Pampa Cruz

1) Pick your destination and travel dates

Start with the destination, then filter by what matters: rooftop tent, capacity, camp gear, autonomy.

2) Compare vehicles like an overland setup

Focus on:

• sleeping capacity
• camping equipment
• autonomy (power / fridge)
• conditions (mileage, deposit, options)

3) Confirm and get ready to roll

Once booked, you’ll coordinate the pickup and vehicle handover with the owner/partner so you leave confident and fully prepared.

Before you go: safety & local rules

Quick checks before departure

Tyres, fluids, lights, rooftop tent opening/closing, tie-down points, and a full gear checklist. A solid handover = a smoother trip.

Respect local regulations (tracks, camping, protected areas)

Rules vary by country and region (authorised tracks, wild camping, parks, fire bans). Always check local guidance and stay on permitted routes.
