Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a car hire in Australia?
Use the search form at the top of the page. Enter your pickup location, travel dates, and preferred vehicle type, then compare prices from top Australian suppliers and book online in minutes — no hidden fees.
What documents do I need to hire a car in Australia?
You will need a valid driver’s licence (Australian or international), a credit card in the driver’s name for the security deposit, and your booking confirmation. Drivers under 25 may incur a young driver surcharge depending on the supplier.
Can I do a one-way car hire in Australia?
Yes. One-way rentals are available between major cities and airports across Australia — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and more. Select different pickup and drop-off locations when searching. One-way drop fees may apply on some routes.
What is the minimum age to hire a car in Australia?
Most suppliers require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers aged 21–24 are typically subject to a young driver surcharge. Some premium, luxury, and exotic vehicles are restricted to drivers aged 25 or over.
Is insurance included in the car hire price?
Basic third-party liability insurance is generally included. The security deposit (excess) can range from $1,000 to $5,000. You can reduce or eliminate this by adding Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or excess reduction cover at the time of booking.
Can I hire a car for a long-term rental in Australia?
Yes. Long-term car hire from one month to twelve months is available from selected Australian suppliers. Long-term rentals often attract significant discounts over daily rates and may include maintenance and roadside assistance. Learn more about long-term car rental.
