Australia’s smallest capital city, multicultural Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory and well worth a visit, with museums, cultural attractions, and a vibrant food scene. Outside the city centre, travellers can visit some of the country’s most spectacular natural attractions, a few of which lie within easy driving distance of Darwin.
Darwin enjoys a tropical climate, with the dry season running from roughly May to October and the wet from November to April, and each of the two seasons offer promising reasons for visiting. Regardless of when you plan to visit, VroomVroomVroom makes booking a hire car in Darwin easy. Search, compare and book with our reliable and affordable options from Australia’s leading hire car companies.
