Plenty of options exist for renting a car when planning a trip to any major city in Australia. Car hire depots are located in airports, but there are also plenty of depots situated within the central business districts of most cities. The number of available kiosks provide added convenience and flexibility for travellers to customise their trips according to their own needs.

A car hire is the best way to explore Australia and one of the most cost-effective as well. With a quality car rental through CarRental.com.au, you can choose your destination and be on your way. No worries about paying for cab or shuttle fare for one-way trips or being forced to wait for your transportation to arrive. Instead, you and your travel companions will have the freedom to roam at your leisure or settle onto the beach, dine at a restaurant, go shopping, or take in a show during a night out.

Lovers of the outdoors will find a car rental indispensable in their travels across the expanse of land that is Australia. Use the car hire to drive along the coast for some breathtaking ocean scenes, or park at one of Australia's many wildlife preserves and national parks and go on a hiking tour. For those who are up to the challenge, they can set off into the Outback and explore the heart of Australia to their heart's content.

Major metropolitan depots can be found at the following locations. Most airport pick-ups incur a hefty fee of up to 19.5%, a combination of the airport owner charging the car rental companies as well as a voluntary fee that they unfortunately impose on renters, presumably to make the total cost of renting look cheaper than it is. For this reason, picking up your rental car in the city and then dropping it off at the airport upon your return will allow you to avoid this surcharge and save you money on your rental.
