Austrália: Aluguer de carros

Different car hire companies classify young drivers in different ways. The vast majority of car hire companies in Australia do not allow a driver under 21 to drive one of their cars. You may be able to drive if you are between 21 and 25, but you might have to pay what is known as a Young Driver Fee. The size of the fee will also depend on the class of car, and the size of the engine. One possible solution is for someone older in your group to drive.

Because Rentalcars.com works with hundreds of car hire companies, not just in Australia but in 200 other countries worldwide, you can compare several different cars to find the ones with the lowest Young Driver Fee, or even no Young Driver Fee at all.

Rentalcars.com works with all the top car hire companies in Australia, from international brands like Hertz, Avis and Budget, to local companies like Redspot and Bargain.

We compare all car hire in Australia in a single search, so you don’t have to visit each company’s website individually to find the cheapest deals. That said, we are more than just a price comparison site – we also give you all the information you need to make an informed decision, not just based on prices but also fuel policies, ratings, car size, pick-up locations and more.

Yes – you can easily book a one-way car hire from one place in Australia to another. If you want to do this, just choose a different drop-off location. Be aware that many car hire companies will require you to pay a One Way Fee, commonly known as a drop charge, for this type of car hire.

When you search for a one-way rental in Australia on Rentalcars.com, we tell you (before you book) if a car hire company would charge a One Way Fee. And since we deal with so many car hire companies in Australia, you can easily compare them to find the ones with the smallest fees, or even no One Way Fee at all.

When you’re looking for a hire car Down Under, there’s no need to visit all the different car hire websites. Just tell us where you want to go and when, and we’ll show you a wide choice of cars from both local and international car hire companies.

What’s more, our website makes it easy to narrow down your search and find your perfect car:

- Filters. Tick a box (or two) and we’ll only show you cars of a certain size, from particular companies, with a specific fuel policy, etc.

- Details. Next to each car, you’ll see a whole load of useful information, along with a link to its terms and conditions.

- Ratings & reviews. After their trip, we ask each of our customers to rate seven different aspects of their rental (value for money, helpfulness of counter staff, etc.). Click on the overall score next to each car for details: for example, if a company scores 9 out of 10 in ‘Time it took to collect your vehicle’, you know they’re good at getting people on the road quickly. You’ll also find a bunch of reviews that give you even more insight into a company’s good points and bad points.
