What do you need to rent a car in Whitsundays?

Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Whitsundays car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Whitsundays. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whitsundays?
Start your road trip right by selecting Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Whitsundays ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Whitsundays with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
