The ultimate family road trip

Car hire in Australia for families

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

For the ultimate comfort and space, we would recommend a large SUV. Take it slow. Drive less and see more. We also know many great driving itineraries along roads seldom travelled. Even if you have visited Australia a few times, we can take you to places you didn’t know existed.

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.
