Daily home prices were as low as AU$109 within the past seven days. With rates like this, zipping around the streets of The Lakes in your own set of wheels is an affordable way to see the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my The Lakes car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be given a complete refund if you let us know more than six hours before the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to check your car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in The Lakes?
Whatever suits your style! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked home in The Lakes. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a huge amount of space. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Zipping into narrow parking spots will be a piece of cake!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in The Lakes?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a car in The Lakes. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21  this will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before booking. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in The Lakes?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in The Lakes, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the home company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a home company.
What is the cheapest car rental in The Lakes?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in The Lakes was AU$109. The second lowest was AU$131 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in The Lakes?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer long-term holiday homes for many categories of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of The Lakes — or way beyond!
Where can I find a The Lakes car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in The Lakes, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various holiday home companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the holiday home counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in The Lakes with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
