11 The Circuit, Brisbane Airport QLD 4008, Australia

Brisbane Airport is the main international airport serving Brisbane and South East Queensland, Australia. Many people pick up a hire car here, so they can explore the city and venture further afield — great drives from Brisbane Airport include ones along the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

The airport is the third-busiest in Australia, with 26 airlines flying to almost 70 destinations around the world. Because of this, the airport has become a hotbed for car hire companies serving the influx of travellers: there are a number of well-known companies based at the airport itself, and some smaller companies (often based off-site) competing for business.

Finding a great deal

When choosing your ideal hire car, it can be difficult to know which company offers the best value for money. We are here to help you find your perfect hire car at Brisbane Airport, and make the process of renting as straightforward as possible.

We compare a number of major car hire companies, like Hertz, Thrifty and Europcar (as well as some local firms such as Redspot and East Coast Rentals) to bring you exclusive car hire deals.

To give you impartial advice, we ask each customer to rate and review their overall rental experience, so you can see exactly what they think of each company we work with. Simply click on the ratings by each car to see their feedback.

There is a fantastic range of cars at Brisbane Airport, from compact cars (ideal for single travellers and couples who aren’t planning to do a great deal of driving), right through to SUVs and 12-seater people carriers.

Many companies have their pick-up counter within the terminal, while others have off-site counters. Our website gives you all the information you need to choose the right deal for you.

To make finding your perfect car even easier, you can use the filters to narrow down the search results based on your needs and preferences. You can filter results based on fuel policy, size, supplier, rating, pick-up location and specifications (like air conditioning and manual transmission).

Tips and advice

Brisbane Airport is around 13km (8 miles) from the city centre, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive there.

The airport lies close to a number of motorways and highways (including the M1, which can take you north towards the Sunshine Coast, or south to the Gold Coast).

When leaving the airport, follow the Airport Drive to reach all the main roads.

Book your car hire as far in advance as possible to ensure you get a great price and the type of car you want.

Ensure your hire car has air conditioning (especially if you are visiting between December and February) to keep you comfortable in the heat.
