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!

Can I use another person’s Credit Card to pay for my rental?
Yes, however, the person with the credit card must be on the Rental Contract as the main driver so they will need to have a current open driver’s licence written in English.

Cancellation fees can be found in our terms and conditions.
What happens if I return the vehicle late?
If you return the vehicle more than 1 hour 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 9:01 AM, the extra charge will apply. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team.
In the event of an accident, what am I liable to pay?
In the event of an accident, your liability depends on the coverage option you selected. Here’s a quick summary:
- Standard Cover: You are liable for up to $5,000.
- $500 Damage Liability: Liability is reduced to $500.

What is covered by your roadside assistance?
All vehicles are covered with 24-hour roadside assistance, provided by the relevant state automotive club. This includes all mechanical breakdowns.

What does Standard Liability Protection Cover?
All Alpha vehicles which are rented have comprehensive insurance with a standard liability that is applicable to renters that may be reduced with one of Alpha’s waiver options. For passenger vehicles (hatchbacks, sedans, family cars, SUVs, 8-seater vans and Utes) the standard liability is $5,000 for drivers over 21 years of age. For more information on our Standard Liability Protection Cover visit our Terms & Conditions.

Please note that you will not have the benefit of Alpha’s insurance if the rental vehicle is driven on unsealed roads.
Do you offer commercial hire terms?
If you run a business with ongoing transportation needs, you know as well as anyone that handling maintenance, inventory and financing can be both an expense and a hassle. If you need to supplement your fleet for a short-term or longer term, our friendly team will happily provide a quote.
What Are Customers Say To Us
I would strongly advise against using Alpha Car Hire Brisbane. Our experience from start to finish was nothing short of a nightmare.
We waited over an hour and 15 minutes to be picked up from the airport, completely unacceptable for an airport-based car hire service. Once we finally arrived, the car provided to us was filthy inside, showing a complete lack of care or quality control.
Returning the vehicle was no better. We were met by incredibly rude staff who seemed more interested in arguing than assisting. When we asked about the return shuttle, we were told it would be another 30+ minute wait, despite needing to get to the airport in time for our flight. We had no choice but to pay for an Uber, just to ensure we didn’t miss our flight.
Frankly, every car hire company should be sent here as a training example of what not to do. The entire operation was disorganised, unprofessional, and indifferent to customer needs.
Disgusting service. Never again.
Book your own airport back and forth.
Need Brisbane airport to post signage for the company pick ups, was little annoying have to ask people, other company vans saying which van. And having to call up.
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....
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.
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.
It was quick to pick up and get on our way even though our car was not ready to go we were just given a better car and said we could be on our way. Great new car as quick on drop off. Heaps of staff at hand to make sure it was a fast process
Thanks heaps will recommend and reuse cheers tim
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!
