Car hire FAQs

  • What are the requirements to hire a car in Rockhampton?

    Getting a car hire in Rockhampton is subject to presenting your driving licence and passport (or other photo ID).

    When you book hire cars in Rockhampton, you’ll have to obey the national Australian driving laws. For a start, you’ll drive on the left, and seat belts are compulsory.
