Bookingauto (Darwin) 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 Darwin can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Darwin on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Renault Megane Cabrio from us, starting at €38 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Darwin. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Opel Zafira might be best - from €66 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 7 Series for €76 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Seat Ibiza for just €15 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Car rental cost by month
The highest demand for car rental in Darwin occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Audi A4 in Darwin is €15 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €13 per day.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Renault Megane Cabrio will cost €38 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Darwin is the Seat Ibiza. The rental price for such a car starts from €15 per day from sixt.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 7 Series will cost about €76 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a VW Tiguan at this time can be rented for just €44 per day.

Popular questions and answers
Answer: The cost of renting a car in Darwin is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.
Answer: You can pick up a car in Darwin and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.
