Transport

[transport]

The main Australian cities are well-served by airports, and some of the smaller towns have regional airports. However, many parts of the remote Outback have little or no access to public transportation. This means that car hire in Australia is the most convenient and easy transportation option for trips beyond the cities.

Car Hire Australia

Exploring the Outback by self-driving is definitely the easiest and most convenient way to go. Visitors will find that there are plenty of rental options at all the major airports including Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. All of the major global companies including Budget, Thrifty, Avis and Europcar tend to keep offices in the main cities so go online compare car hire rates for the cheapest rental deals.

Driving

Roads in Australia are well-maintained and easy to navigate. Outside the cities roads can be empty, with petrol stations few and far between. If exploring the Outback make sure to carry enough petrol and supplies just in case. A good map and GPS system is also highly recommended.

Things To See and Do

With car rental in Australia you can travel vast distances, but planning ahead is still important. From Perth, there are many good day trips, such as the Pinnacles Stone Forest with its hundreds of petrified trees. A day at the Margaret River Caves is also breathtaking. From Sydney, visitors can head out to the Blue Mountains and enjoy the unspoiled nature or Hunter Valley for some wine tasting.

Best Time To Visit

The climate in Australia varies greatly by region, but generally those coming from the northern hemisphere should remember that the seasons here are reversed – when it's summer in the UK, it's winter in Australia. Australia is home to tropical, subtropical, desert and temperate weather, with temperatures ranging from 0?C to 38?C depending on the region.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is 121CarHire.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
