Townsville requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.

While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
