Explore the State with an economy car rental from your Queensland Airport

Queensland is the second-largest state in Australia. It covers over a quarter of the continent in the northeast and has borders with New South Wales, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. Queensland covers an area of 1,727,000 square kilometres.

Queensland’s geography is part of what makes it so appealing. There are countless significant locations with tablelands, mountain ranges, rivers, and islands, as well as long stretches of outback plains! Queensland has about 4 million people, yet only around half of them live in Brisbane, the state’s largest city. The seashore is home to the majority of the state’s inhabitants. The Gulf of Carpentaria, the Torres Strait, the Coral Sea in the north, and the South Pacific Ocean in the east, define this vast 7400-kilometre stretch.

Sun, sea, relaxation, water activities, a location close to home, and all the conveniences and familiarities that come with travelling within your homeland. Queensland is ideal for individuals of all ages, offering a wide range of activities and entertaining things to do for families and multi-generational vacations.

Couples will find many isolated areas to retreat and escape or enjoy a weekend away in Cairns, Brisbane, or the Gold Coast with the sun, shopping, and nightlife. In Queensland, there is truly something for everyone!

Further to my review posted earlier....
As I hadn't received any communication from 'customer service' regarding the substandard car they had rented out to me...I drove it back to Alpha at Brisbane.

I'm happy to say that a lovely lady called Erin, exchanged the 'jallopy' to a lovely, secure vehicle..no hassle whatsoever.

I just hope I don't find any hidden charges at the end of my rental agreement....

Hired a vehicle for 7 days.
Really happy with the service received from shuttle and vehicle pick up. Our vehicle was the perfect size, had a few cosmetic imperfections but did the job. Will use this service again.

We hired a car for just under a week and from the airport shuttle, to picking up the vehicle and returning was the smoothest and best car rental service we have ever used. They even gave us a free upgrade! Highly recommend!

Good customer service when picking up car. Didn’t have to wait long for pickup and delivery to airport. Staff were friendly and helpful with luggage
The rental cost was very resonable.. full insurance for 6 days was $392.
Car ran perfectly and was very comfortable (kia cerato)
Would thoroughly recommend this company.

Having hired a car in march 2025 at alpha car rentals in brisbane australia i was very impressed by the shuttle service pick up at brisbane airport and so delighted to meet Mike who made the ride to the rental office so enjoyable. Although we had a wait at the office for the car we booked for hire, it was made less of a wait by talking to the staff about the area, which was the best route to take to get me to my destination. I found them very helpful, knowledge, totally supportive and honest in not trying to upsell me insurance i didn’t need.

One of the best rental experiences I've had so far! The shuttle bus pickup was seamless, and the drivers were friendly, courteous, and attentive. I had several pieces of luggage, and they helped me load them onto the bus, making the process stress-free.

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!

Not familiar with Brisbane airport and Alpha made it stress free with prearranged shuttle to site. Hassle-free check-in to pickup vehicle and drop off on return. Company cars modern spotless and comfortable. Very much made a 4 day trip from NT easier. Recommend company to others.
