Car hire in Australia for solo travellers

Which sized car is the most suitable for you? Compact medium or large. We can help you make this important decision. And with our unique deals on offer, you can be guaranteed the best price. At a relaxed pace, drive safely in a reliable SUV and discover the local treasures of Australia.

Take it slow. Drive less and see more. You don’t need to drive for long periods to see spectacular changes. Walk to a viewpoint. Swim at the beach. Or a picnic by a river. We recommend a relaxed travel pace. No rushing or hopping from highlight to highlight. Go where the locals go.

A large car offers more space for you and your luggage. Greater power and luxurious comfort. With a higher driving position, enjoy improved visibility of the road. And, of course, better views. An ideal car for the scenic drives of Australia.

We work closely with the best rental companies. Full insurance. No gravel road restrictions. And well-equipped cars. We know the best scenic routes that you otherwise wouldn’t normally find. Let us design your ideal holiday.

Our hire cars include insurance with $0 excess as standard. Please note: there are other insurance limitations to consider.
