What types of cars can I rent in Calen?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one pick for many visitors to Calen. With terrific gas mileage and easy parking and handling, they’re well-suited to travelling around the city. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a bit more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

It’s no secret that Calen is one of the most popular destinations in Queensland. But you’ll also find lots of other inspiring places to explore when you book a set of wheels and hit the road. Here are some tips to get your trip off to a winning start:

  • Home to attractions and experiences galore, Mackay is about 48 kilometres from Calen. First stop on the itinerary? Head on over to Mackay Marina Village & Shipyard, one of this city’s highlights.

Why should I rent a Calen car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Calen with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your home wheels. Bundle your Calen car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Calen?
Home vehicle rules in Calen require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Calen?
Before you can hit the road in Calen, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card. If you choose not to take out the home company’s insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a home company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Calen?
Unlike the States, people in Calen drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the car and its quirks before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Calen?
Whether you’re planning to stay in Calen or discover what’s beyond, you can reserve a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Calen car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Calen, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you do your research.
