Car Hire Sydney Frequently Asked Questions:
To hire a car in Australia with Alpha Car Hire, you must be at least 21 years old. Drivers aged 21-24 have limited vehicle options (including Economy Car, Compact Car, Compact SUV, Compact Hybrid SUV, Intermediate Car, and Ute) and are subject to an age surcharge.
Any licence provided must be in English and include a photo. If your driving licence is in a language other than English, it must be accompanied by an approved translation, such as an International Driving Permit. An International Driving Permit is not a stand-alone document and must be carried alongside your valid domestic driving licence.
Basic insurance is typically included in the rental rate, but it may not cover everything, so be sure to review the terms and conditions before booking. To reduce your liability further, consider adding excess insurance, which can lower your out-of-pocket expenses to as little as $500 or even $0, depending on the coverage you choose. If minimizing potential costs is a priority, excess insurance could be a valuable option.
If you return the vehicle more than 2 hours after the drop-off time, you will be charged an additional full day’s fee. For example, if your rental is from 8:00 am to 8:00 am the next day, and you return it at 10:00 am, the extra charge will apply. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team.
At Alpha Car Hire, adding an extra driver costs just $9.90 per day.
