What types of cars can I rent in Penguin?
Inexpensive, a dream to handle and great on mileage, it’s no coincidence that compact cars are the most in-demand home in Penguin. Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city adventures or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

  • Roughly 97 kilometres from Penguin, Launceston is on the itinerary of many visitors. With sights such as Brisbane Street Mall, you’ll have no shortage of things to see and do here.
  • About 97 kilometres away, Derwent Valley Council is another city worth putting on your travel itinerary. You’ll want to check out Mt. Wellington during your visit.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Penguin?
Anyone with a valid driver’s license 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Penguin. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 a fee will be added. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before making your reservation. Outlets also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Penguin?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Penguin?
In Penguin and across Australia, you’ll need to drive on the left. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. For a safer ride, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to reach your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Penguin?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Penguin, so go ahead and extend your stay! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Penguin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Penguin providers will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
