Local Car Rental & Hire in Australia

Rental car hiring guide

Joyriding is one of the great Aussie pastimes. Many people look to rent a nice car to experience the outback backdrop or the ocean scenery. If you’re looking to rent a car, here’s all the important things you need to consider.

• Before renting a car near you, consider your budget, needs and requirements. This may be related to safety, security, environment or fuel efficiency.
• If you’re travelling in a country with different traffic laws, take some time to understand and adjust to these new regulations before taking on the road.
• Inspect the car in full daylight. Look for visible damage to the exterior of the car, check if the electronics, air con and windows work.
• Ask questions about the vehicle’s history. What’s the mileage? How long has it been in service? What features does it have?
• Only sign the deal off with the car rental company when you are happy with the car and its price.
