Here you can arrange your ride with trusted companies like Avis, Budget and Europcar. If you’re after more options, see what’s on offer with Enterprise and Thrifty.
What happens if I need to cancel my Port Stephens car reservation?
We have good news! You should get a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations qualify for a refund though, so you may want to read through your rental agreement.

Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
