Check customer ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your home wheels. Combine your Hamilton car rental with flight or hotel bookings and start your road trip with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hamilton?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Hamilton. Be mindful that home suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren’t permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before you book so there are no hassles at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Hamilton?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hamilton?
If you’re renting a car in Hamilton or road-tripping around Australia, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the driver’s seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you’re used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
What is the cheapest car rental in Hamilton?
The lowest price for a car rental in Hamilton within the past seven days was just AU$79 per day. The next best deal snapped up by thrifty travellers was AU$84. 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 Hamilton?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and book a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Hamilton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Hamilton outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re interested in will have all the details you need.
