Car rental at Brisbane Airport

Prime areas near, and with easy access from, the airport, which you might want to explore in your rental car, include Brisbane CBD, the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast. Keep in mind that these main routes charge a toll for use. Most of the agencies that supply car hire at Brisbane Airport fit their vehicles with toll tags, ensuring that you can travel through tolls without having to pre-pay or pre-plan your routes. This charge is managed by the respective agencies in different ways, so be sure to check the agency policy when hiring your car.

Keep an eye out for the BNE service centre on your way back to the airport. If you miss the turn-off, you can pull into the Shell Coles Express fuel station found at the entrance of Brisbane Airport.

Be sure to take your passport or national ID card with you. Make sure they are original documents and not copies. A valid driver’s licence is a compulsory requirement for all drivers within the acceptable legal driving age of 25 to 65 years old. Don't forget a debit or credit card too.
