Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Cambridge?
Daily home prices were as low as AU$145 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising the streets of Cambridge in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cambridge car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to pickup, the majority of prepaid reservations offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with the policy. Check your itinerary for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Cambridge?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it’s hard to beat a compact vehicle — the most commonly booked home type in Cambridge. They’re a snap to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you’re visiting bustling cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that won’t break the bank.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cambridge?
With your own car, cruising around the surrounding areas is as easy as putting your foot on the accelerator. Cambridge is a wonderful place to start, but there’s so much more to enjoy in the region. Pick up the keys to a home, throw your bags in the trunk and take a peek at these other terrific spots:

  • You’ll feel the lively spirit of a city bustling with life as soon as you pull into Launceston. Some 153 kilometres from Cambridge, it has loads of excellent places to explore, like Brisbane Street Mall.
  • About 153 kilometres away, Derwent Valley Council is another city worth putting on your road trip itinerary. Be sure to check out Mt. Wellington while you’re in town.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time out in nature at Tarkine Forest Adventures at Dismal Swamp. It’s roughly 306 kilometres from Cambridge.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cambridge?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Cambridge is 21. A surcharge for young drivers usually applies, so check before booking and budget for any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Cambridge?
While terms and conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cambridge?
In Cambridge and across Australia, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver’s seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a safe journey, take things slow at first and leave yourself some extra time to get to your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cambridge?
Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many car categories. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Cambridge — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Cambridge car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a holiday home in Cambridge, check the terms and conditions of the various holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what to expect.
