Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the age requirements for renting a car in Brisbane?
To rent a car in Brisbane, you must hold a full and valid driver’s license. Learners or provisional licenses are not accepted. Drivers must be at least 21 years old, and those aged 21-24 will incur an age surcharge. There is no upper age limit for renting vehicles if your license is valid. Drivers aged 21-24 can choose from a variety of car options, including Economy Car, Compact Car, Compact SUV, Intermediate Car, and Ute, subject to availability.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Brisbane?
To rent a car in Brisbane, you usually must have a driver’s license that is valid. Also, you need to give a credit card with the same name as the person renting for payment and security purposes. You should also give a different type of ID, maybe your passport or the official identity card from where you come.
You should know that every license given out needs to be in English and have a picture on it. In case your driving license is written in a different language, you need to bring an official translation with it, like the International Driving Permit for example. You must have your valid local driving license with you when you are carrying an International Driving Permit; it cannot be used by itself.

Are there any restrictions on where I can take the rental car from Brisbane?
If you hire a car in Brisbane, usually you can drive it around Queensland and to different states in Australia. But sometimes there are rules that say you cannot take the car off normal roads or go with it to places that are very far away or hard to reach. It’s essential to check with the rental company regarding any specific restrictions or conditions.
If the rental car has an accident or stops working in Brisbane, what are my steps?
Every car has access to help by the side of the road at any time, day or night, if there is a problem with how it works.
The free service for help on the road does not include problems that are not about the car’s mechanics or mistakes made by the person driving, like when keys get lost or locked inside the car, or if the battery goes flat because someone left the lights on. For these situations, there is a charge of $180 each time we come out to assist.
But if the customer takes the Roadside Assistance package for $5.50 each day, then they don’t have to pay any extra costs.
Can I add additional drivers to the rental agreement in Brisbane?
Yes, you can add additional drivers to the rental agreement in Brisbane. All individuals who intend to drive the vehicle must be listed on the rental agreement. If you wish to add a driver after collecting the vehicle, please contact us on 1300 227 473.
Will I be charged for the extra driver if added later in the booking?
Yes, extra driver charges apply for the entire duration of the booking, even if the additional driver is added on the last day of your reservation.
How much is a car rental in Brisbane?
Prices can vary depending on the car type, rental company, duration, and season. Generally, expect to pay between $50 and $200 per day, but it can be cheaper or more expensive depending on your specific needs.

The counter staff were welcoming and informative, and the rates were the most affordable I found. They even helped adjust the rental hours to maximize my usage. The child seat hire was also cheaper than other providers.
Best of all, the bond was released within 30 minutes of returning the car. I’ll definitely use this company again when I visit Brisbane!
