Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Alice Springs?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Alice Springs, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Using a debit card to rent a car in Alice Springs is sometimes possible, but policies vary by rental company.
