Airport Car Hire

Local expert tips for hiring a car in Darwin

  • Kilometre limits

    Cars hired in Darwin may come with a limit on how many kilometres can be driven per day for free. A per-day limit of 100 km is common, with additional kilometres attracting a per-kilometre surcharge of anything from $0.25 to $0.37 per km, excluding taxes. Learn more about limits on hire car kilometres driven.

  • Peak hour traffic

    If hitting the road during peak hours times, allow additional time to get to your destination. In Darwin, there is often more traffic from 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM - 5:00 PM on weekdays.

  • Parking discounts and pre-booking offers

    Parking in Darwin’s CBD is plentiful with free untimed parking on weekends. Weekday parking starts at AUD$1.30/hr.

  • Right vehicle for roadtrip

    If you’re driving onwards from Darwin to explore more of the Northern Territory, check with your hire car provider for suggestions on the best type of vehicle for your trip. Some cars are not suitable or allowed on unsealed roads.

  • Simplify hiring a car

    You can use your interstate or overseas driver's licence for up to three months and must carry this with you at all times. If your overseas license isn’t in English, you should also carry an International Driving Permit.

  • Get ready for your trip

    Always drive to the conditions. For example, drive slower if it is raining.
