It's a good idea to read your cancellation policy as there are some exceptions. Hop on our Customer Service Portal if you still have questions.
What types of cars can I rent in Australia?
Mini, intermediate, full-size, premium ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Australia. If you're after something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a great choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact vehicles offer a little more room than economy rides and are well-suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Australia with Expedia?
Scoring the best deal on your Australia rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare the offers across popular brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll get access to even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Australia?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Australia. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before booking your wheels. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Australia?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Australia, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Australia?
Expedia makes it a snap to score a long-term car rental in Australia. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find an Australia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Australia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
