Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Darwin?

What happens if I need to cancel my Darwin car reservation?
We’ve all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That’s why we offer your money back on many bookings if you cancel six hours prior to collecting the car. Don’t forget to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it’s not included. Can’t find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Darwin?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visiting motorists in Darwin. Featuring exceptional mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they’re ideal for cruising around the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra style and comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Darwin?
You need to be at least 21 to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Darwin. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Darwin?
Generally, you’ll need a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between home providers, so it’s always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Darwin?
In Darwin, as with all of England, motorists drive on the left. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the left if it’s your first time.
What is the cheapest car rental in Darwin?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was AU$56. The second lowest price for holiday home vehicles in Darwin was AU$116 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Darwin?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Darwin car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to book a holiday home in Darwin, you’ll need to check the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what to expect.
