Location information for Brisbane

Although Brisbane is behind Melbourne and Sydney in terms of population, it has its own set of cultural attractions with which to draw visitor crowds. The Queensland capital is known for being one of the east coast's most forward-thinking cities, and this is demonstrated in its cutting-edge art and music scenes. The area is surrounded by natural beauty and some of Australia's most interesting nature is found close by.

Brisbane attractions

The Queensland Cultural Centre and the Brisbane Museum exhibit works by some of the city's best artists and play an informative role in tracing the history of the region. There is a host of botanic gardens to relax in, while Manly Boat Harbour has some great dining options as well as independent shops to peruse. The imposing Mt Coot-tha sits nearby and offers the most picturesque views of the city.

Brisbane excursions

The late Steve Irwin's zoo is close by to Brisbane and his family's enthusiasm for wildlife rubs off on every person who visits. Keen surfers can use car hire in Brisbane to drive north along the Sunshine Coast to get their fill of the big waves on offer. There is also a koala sanctuary and the Glass House Mountains National Park nearby for lovers of nature.

Best time to visit

Brisbane does not suffer from cool weather like the south of Australia, meaning the most clothing a visitor will ever need to bring is a jumper. The summers can be dauntingly hot, but the city's proximity to the coast means visitors have a chance to cool down in the water. September is a good month to visit since the city hosts the Brisbane Festival at this time, which includes cultural events and a dazzling firework display.

Car rental in Brisbane

Brisbane has a complicated one-way system, making car rental in Brisbane best suited for daytrips to nearby national parks or beaches. Brisbane Airport offers the best selection of car hire, but it is worthwhile to compare car hire in Brisbane online in advance of travel to get the best discount.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is HireCars.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
