Comfort and convenience at the best price
Bookingauto (Australia) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Australia can always collect them from the most suitable place.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Australia, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible BMW Z4 from €100 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by EUROPCAR. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Mercedes V-Class at a rate of €71 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - Audi A6. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Opel Astra car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €23 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

The most popular cities and rental locations in Australia
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Australia may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.

Average prices by car class
During the high season in summer, car rental in Australia costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Opel Insignia popular in Australia costs €16 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €11 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW Z4 is offered at €100 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Australia is the Opel Astra. The rental price for such a car starts from €23 per day from EUROPCAR.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Audi A6 costs about €42 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Renault Kaptur very cheaply in the autumn for just €40 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Australia, you can easily rent a Audi R8 to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.
Typical cancellation terms
We provide preferential cancellation / amendment terms for most cars and rental companies in Australia
If you cancel your reservation at least 24 hours prior to receipt (48 hours in some cases), you will be refunded in full in almost all cases.
If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance (48 hours in some cases), you will receive a full refund minus an administration fee in almost all circumstances.
Cancellation policies and administration fees may vary depending on the provider and car you choose. Please read the cancellation policy before proceeding with your booking.
Note: you can only cancel or modify your order before the pick-up time!
These additional rules apply to all bookings:
If the online payment sum is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.
Insurance coverage cancellation:
If the car was booked with an additional insurance product, the policy will be automatically ended upon cancellation. The issue of reimbursement is resolved within the framework of the cancellation policy provided for by the terms of the insurance product.

The following situations constitute a "No-show":
● The customer didn’t inform of the cancellation before the pick-up time.
● The customer failed to pick up a car in Australia at the arranged time and date.
● The customer failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● The customer failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.

Age restrictions
Many rental companies in Australia have strict age restrictions on drivers. This may include additional charges for drivers under 26 years old.
We advise you to carefully study the age requirements of the company, especially if you are under 26 years old. After all, your car rental costs may depend on this. Different countries, companies and even rental locations may have different age limits and fees. Therefore, we urge you to read the full terms and conditions of the rental service and the information specified in the voucher.
Documents required for car rental
To rent a car in Australia, you will need a driver's license, passport, credit card (sometimes two for luxury cars) and a voucher received by email.
If more than one person will be driving the car, then the additional drivers must also confirm that they have a driver's license.

Popular questions about car rental in Australia
Answer : The cost of renting a car in Australia is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT.

Answer : The most popular cars in Australia are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the Opel Astra and Opel Insignia models.
