Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Gladstone car reservation?
Not a problem! If you can cancel your prepaid reservation more than six hours before the scheduled collection time, you're likely to receive all of your money back. You'll want to read the rental agreement as there are some exceptions. Head to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Gladstone?
Crowded city streets and narrow parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most popular type of rental in Gladstone. Grab the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Gladstone can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Gladstone?
Gladstone offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Head to Dunedin for an excellent sightseeing experience. About 177 kilometres from Gladstone, it's home to numerous inspiring sights, including Larnach Castle.
  • Around 193 kilometres away, Harington Point is also a favourite with wanderers. Make sure you check out Penguin Place while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this buzzing city.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and take in the serenity at Mount Cook National Park. You'll find it around 354 kilometres from Gladstone.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gladstone?
Gladstone requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Gladstone?
Renting a car in Gladstone is simple. Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. After selecting a great set of wheels, check your policy to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Gladstone?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Gladstone drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car and its quirks before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gladstone?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Gladstone and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Gladstone car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Gladstone companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
