ACT Car Hire

Okay so the PR for the Australian Capital Territory might be a little mixed. On one hand you might hear that the capital city, Canberra, is full of dull politicians and is about as exciting as boiled cabbage. On the other you hear it’s a bit like the Netherlands of Australia. Marijuana has been decriminalised. It’s the only place in the country to have a bill of rights to protect its citizens’ civil liberties. And it also has a bit of a reputation as being a den of porn.

Whatever your take on the mixed reviews, there’s no disputing the fact that the lush countryside and majestic scenery in the ACT makes for a car rental ACT holiday. Even if you’re simply planning to take in the sights of Canberra itself, a car is your basic essential – the city is rich in wide-open spaces and parks.

So maybe your car hire holiday will begin when you fly into Canberra where you can pick up a sweet deal on a Canberra rental car and begin your adventures. Some of the must-sees in the city include the Australian War Memorial, Lake Burley Griffin and the Old and New Parliament Houses. For information on the city’s events, activities and entertainment, check out Canberra Tourism.

Or perhaps you’ve arrived in the ACT in your car rental NSW deal and plan to tour the spectacular countryside surrounding Canberra which vary from rolling grasslands to alpine mountain regions barely disturbed by the recent construction of the territory’s capital city.

Cruise your way on your car hire holiday up to the northern parts of the Australian Alps to the reserves of Tidbinbilla and Namadgi National Park. These areas are lush with diverse wildlife, profusions of native flora, and are rich in Aboriginal heritage. Once you’ve had your fill, take a jaunt over to Canberra National Park and luxuriate in the wild flowers and indulge in a spot of bird watching.

But visiting Canberra is not always for fun. Hit the ground driving, with a no-hassles car rental at Canberra Airport. It makes last-minute car rental for business easier.
