No matter where your travels take you in Australia, whether that is a large metropolitan city like Melbourne, or to the wild and rugged island state of Tasmania, we have the perfect car rental in Australia for your journey. We offer a broad range of vehicles from some of the top auto manufacturers such as BMW and Audi. Why not hop in an SUV to explore some of Australia's rugged terrain or rent a luxury model to tour some of Australia's biggest cities in style. Our friendly customer service agents are available 24/7 to professionally assist you when you rent a car in Australia.
With such a wide variety of destinations to choose from in Australia, you need a rental car company that can offer you just the right car. If you need a sporty sedan to tour a major city, or a minivan to take the entire group along on the journey we have just the car rental in Australia for you. You can choose a one-day rental if you just need your car for a short amount of time or go ahead and get one of our long-term rentals if you plan to stay in Australia longer. Enhance your experience by adding an additional driver or navigation system, among other extras.
When the temperatures are balmy in the Northern Hemisphere, that's the time to explore the winter wonderland that is Australia. A great option is to hop on your board or skis and hit the slopes you will find in both Victoria and New South Wales. Another great winter activity is to do some four-wheel driving in your SUV from SIXT on Fraser Island in Queensland.
