Question 5

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Australia?

Accepted Answer

Alternatively, you can use airport shuttle services, public transport like buses or trains, or take a taxi or rideshare service for a direct connection.

Question 6

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 7

Can under 25s rent cars in Australia

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Australia station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

Question 8

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

It specifies the hire duration, any additional services requested (like GPS or child seats), and policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for extra drivers.

Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your hire agreement.

Question 9

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Australia?

Accepted Answer
