10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Hawks Nest

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your car well before your trip. Booking early often secures lower prices and provides better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Typically, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just be sure to return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and offers peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Hawks Nest supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hawks Nest?
Start your road trip right by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance. Don't wait until you reach the rental counter to insure your precious ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Hawks Nest ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Hawks Nest with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
