What happens if I need to cancel my Canberra car reservation?
Don't stress! If you can cancel your prepaid home more than six hours ahead of the pickup time, you're likely to qualify for a complete refund. You'll want to read the home agreement as there are some exceptions. Hop on our Customer Service Portal if you're unsure of anything.
What types of cars can I rent in Canberra?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy model --- the most popular home in Canberra. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're a good fit for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a great deal of room. They're particularly suited to city driving. Zipping into cramped parking spots will be a cinch!

It's no secret that Canberra is one of the leading holiday destinations in Australian Capital Territory. But you'll also find loads of other inspiring spots to explore when you book a vehicle and hit the highway. Here are some tips to get your trip off to a perfect start:

  • Boasting sights galore, Wollongong is around 193 kilometres from Canberra. First stop of the day? Make your way to North Wollongong Beach, one of the city's biggest highlights.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Canberra?
The minimum age is 21. But there are a few age-related restrictions to be aware of before booking your Canberra wheels.

The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Canberra?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between home suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Canberra?
In Canberra, you'll have to drive on the left. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission to make things a bit easier.

Expedia makes it a cinch to score a quality long-term holiday home in Canberra. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare your choices.
Where can I find a Canberra car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Canberra often depends on the holiday home company you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape excessive charges on pickup.
