Arrive at Bathurst Airport (BHS) and then head to Thrifty Car Rental or Hertz, a quick commute away. You’ll be exploring the sights and sounds of Lithgow in your own set of wheels before you know it.

Expedia loves making travel easy and accessible, that’s why we offer the flexibility to reserve your ride without paying in advance. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can just present a valid credit card to pay in full at the pickup destination. It’s as easy as that! The car rental company will also place a hold on your credit card for the security deposit. For some cheaper deals online, you may have to pay at the time of booking. Remember to take note of which payment options are available for the vehicle you’re interested in.

Our Customer Service Portal has details about this. In almost all cases, total refunds are provided if a prepaid booking is cancelled at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Be sure to read your rental agreement to double-check if there are any exceptions.

The minimum age is 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules to bear in mind before you book your wheels in Lithgow. If you’re a young driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of cars you’re able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between providers. It’s always a good idea to compare the rules.

The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.

In Lithgow, as with all of Australia, motorists drive on the left side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if you’ve never done it before.

You can get behind the wheel in Lithgow with a valid U.S. license. But if you’d like extra peace of mind, obtain an International Driving Permit before you take off. It’s an additional useful form of identification to have while you’re travelling.

To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
