I don't know if they even have 4WD cars to hire. You will get a free car usually with your accommodation and you just need a normal car. If you see a sign that says "impassable when wet", they mean it so don't attempt it if it is raining or has just rained as they are slippery but are fine when it is dry. A few of the hills are steep but the cars will cope. The roads are a lot better than they were years ago thank goodness as I remember having to back up 1 road as my brother-in-law's car wasn't tough enough for me to drive up the right way lol. There is a 4WD tour run by 1 of the Christian family through the forest which is fun if you enjoy that sort of thing. My elderly mother thought it was hilarious.
