Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Rockhampton, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 27 March 2024.
  • 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). The minimum age that Rockhampton car hire companies usually require is 21, and you’ll generally be restricted to economy car hire and smaller models. You’ll need to be 25 to get more powerful hire cars in Rockhampton.

  • What are the rules for driving in Rockhampton?

    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. The speed limit on urban roads in built-up areas is 60 km/h, and on highways, it’s 110 km/h. Pay very close attention to traffic signs with your car hire in Rockhampton, as the local constabulary is zealous in its application. It’s never a good idea to drink and drive, but if you’ve had some wine with dinner, the legal limit is 0.05%.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Rockhampton?

    This is a small town in Central Queensland, near the north-east coast, offering a mixture of rugged cattle farmland on one side and the coastline on the other. If you’re deciding on car hire in Rockhampton, go for something that will be equally capable in the town and on untarred roads outside it, like an MPV; there aren’t any narrow streets to worry about here. If you’re looking for cheap car hire in Rockhampton, a compact car will do you just as well if you stick to tarred roads. The same can be said of sedans, and it’s also a great place to cruise around in a spacious, air-conditioned saloon.

  • Where are the best places to park in Rockhampton?

    You’ll have very little problem finding on-street parking with a Rockhampton car hire, as this small farming town doesn’t get busy. A large car park in the CBD is Stockland Car Park, where you can park for up to two hours as long as you shop there too. Otherwise, there are four car parks at Rockhampton Airport (ROK), charging from about A$7 for two hours to roughly A$30 at the executive standard.
