Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Lakeland?
Daily home prices were as low as within the past seven days. With rates like this, getting around Lakeland in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Lakeland car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid home six hours before the scheduled pickup time should allow for a total refund. However, this is not always guaranteed. It’s worth looking through your itinerary and cancellation policy. Still stuck for answers? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Lakeland?
Ease of parking, affordability and terrific mileage are some of the reasons compact cars are the top choice in Lakeland. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city driving. They’re a good match for solo travellers, couples and budget-conscious families. Of course, how you cruise around is up to you! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or get more legroom with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? Browse our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Lakeland?
With your own vehicle, adventuring around the surrounding regions is a cinch. Lakeland is a great place to start, but there’s tons more to keep you on the move in the region. Grab the keys to a home, throw your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other inspiring locations:

  • You’ll feel the rhythm of bustling city life the moment you pull into Port Douglas. Some 97 kilometres from Lakeland, it has a ton of wonderful spots to explore, like Macrossan Street.
  • Syndicate, around 80 kilometres away, also promises a good time. Need some sightseeing inspiration? Daintree Rainforest is our top pick.
  • No visit is complete without dropping by Mission Beach. This famous nature spot is approximately 257 kilometres from Lakeland. Get out into the fresh air and relax!

How do I find the best car rental deals in Lakeland with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare fees, offers and home companies, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Lakeland car rental with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lakeland?
In most cases, the requirement is 21 years and over in Lakeland. It should be noted that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Lakeland?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between home companies, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Lakeland?
In Lakeland and across Australia, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a safe journey, take things slow at first and leave yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lakeland?
Expedia makes it a snap to pick up a quality long-term car rental in Lakeland. Simply click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Lakeland car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Found a Lakeland outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
