General Information
Hiring a car in the Australian Capital Territory is a great way to experience the sites at your own pace. Driving is easy with a good road network and only a very few toll roads, mostly around Sydney and the coastal areas. Most highways and freeways are free. Possible hazards include snow or ice in winter in the snowfields and flooding in the Outback and Northern Rivers Region. Minor country roads can be of poor quality and stray animals are a hazard in remote regions. Particular care should be taken when driving at night. Outback roads which are unsealed require 4 wheel drive hire. Book all vehicles well in advance for peak periods like Christmas, Easter and school holidays or special events.

Driving around Canberra is very easy as it is not a large or busy city. There is a lot of taxpayers' money spent on maintaining the roads of the nation's capital. Many Canberra sights such as the War Museum and Parliament House are quite far apart so hiring a car to get around will save you a lot of time. There are also interesting day trips around Canberra including nearby snowfields in winter and the small towns and beautiful scenery of the NSW Southern Highlands.

Many airports now charge car hire companies an average of 10% airport service fee which applies to pick up only - making it cheaper to pick up at a city branch. Airport Pick Up Fee is advised within the booking process. For short rentals the airport pick up fee is often similar in cost to a taxi or shuttle service into the city branch. City branches are also only open in business hours while airport branches are open for all arriving and departing flights or will have a key drop facility for out of hours returns.

All states also charge stamp duty on car hire which varies from approximately 0.5% to 2% on total charges.

Insurance is included in rental rates with an excess or maximum liability payable in event of accidental damage. This excess can be reduced by payment of an additional daily amount. Insurance details are advised during the online booking process.
