The ultimate family road trip

Car hire in Australia for families

A medium SUV offers good fuel efficiency with more space for you and your family. And your luggage. Our cars have extra ground clearance, so you can travel along gravel roads and enjoy the views. An ideal car for a family. Along the way, stop for a picnic at the beach.

By taking into account the size of Australia, you may also need to consider taking a domestic flight or two. This means you can see more and drive less. Each flight is a few hours. And it means you will be able to tick off some of Australia’s best highlights and hidden gems at a relaxed pace.

Drive easy with full insurance. Our hire cars are less than 6 months old, are well-equipped and are well suited to Australia’s roads. A relaxed travel pace. No rushing or hopping from highlight to highlight. Go where the locals go.

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