As someone who has chosen to holiday in Australia, we recognise that you appreciate the special qualities of our environment. The landscapes and wildlife that make Australia special are precious, and they need protection.

To make it easy for visitors to show their respect for our country's natural assets, Tourism Holdings Limited (THL), operator of Britz, Maui and Backpacker Rentals, has teamed with BP to be the first campervan rental company to participate in the BP Global ChoiceTM program. This participation is a significant step in THL Rentals' plans for a greener future.

Our involvement gives us the opportunity to start making a difference today, right now, in a way that is accountable to the public and our customers.

BP's environmental program, BP Global ChoiceTM, is designed to offset emissions caused by the fuel consumption of our Britz, Maui and Backpacker campervans.

BP Global Choice works like a set of balance scales. it aims to balance the greenhouse emissions generated through fuel consumption by helping Australian projects to reduce emissions by an equivalent amount. BP calculates the greenhouse emissions that our fuel consumption generates. THL Rentals then directly pays a small premium on top of our fuel purchase according to the percentage of emissions we would like to offset - we have chosen to offset 100%. That premium is then invested in abatement projects around Australia.

To date BP Global ChoiceTM has reduced greenhouse gas emissions in Australia by 819,824 tonnes, which is equivalent to taking 122, 523 cars off the road. THL Rentals is eager to help increase this number further and take action against climate change.

BP Global ChoiceTM is the first program to be independently audited and certified Greenhouse Friendly by the Australian Greenhouse Office. Valuable emission reduction projects are identified and contracted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated by customer’s use of BP fuel.

it's nice to know that your Australian adventure is giving something back to nature!
