Australia’s “Sunshine State,” Queensland well and truly earns its nickname, with a delightful climate that attracts visitors from around the world. The capital city of Brisbane sits in the State’s southeast, and boasts so much to see and do within a few hours of driving in your hire car that you might not even venture any further.
The thing is, Queensland has far more to offer than sunshine. From tropical rainforests and the largest coral reef in the world through to the rural outback vibe and vibrant, cosmopolitan cities, Queensland has something for everyone. The best — and easiest — way to explore what Queensland has to offer is by rental car. Why? Because with a rental car you can enjoy your Queensland road trip with unrivalled flexibility to see what you want — when you want — and at a pace of travel that works for you.
Deciding on hiring a car is one thing, but finding the right hire car for you is a whole other question, and this is where VroomVroomVroom is here to help.
We work with Australia’s most respected car hire suppliers, and collate all of their rates into one space for you to choose from. With VroomVroomVroom you can browse live rates from Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, East Coast Car Rentals, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, No Birds, Sixt, and Thrifty, and sort the results by location, price, vehicle type and more. The whole process of searching, sorting and booking can take as little as two minutes, and our best of class customer support is just a call away should you need assistance.
VroomVroomVroom takes the pain out of hiring the right car for your holiday in Queensland, we free you up to concentrate on planning the where and the when of your holiday rather than the how.
Queensland is big, and with Brisbane International Airport set in the southeast of the state, you might restrict yourself to the southern reaches of the state or consider a longer road trip holiday that takes in far more. Within easy reach of Brisbane are the very popular coastal destinations of Surfers Paradise, The Gold Coast, and The Sunshine Coast.
Keep driving north and you could go whale watching at Hervey Bay or visit the beautiful K’Gari (previously Fraser Island), try the rum at Bundaberg, or push on to the beautiful beaches around Airlie Beach. North again brings you into Tropical North Queensland, with Cairns being the hub for many visitors. Don’t worry if you don’t want to drive all the way — there are regular flights between Brisbane and Cairns Airport where you can pick up a rental car to keep exploring. And that’s just the coast — Queensland’s rural hinterland is a destination in its own right.
If you’ve got the time but are not sure where to go, take a look at our collection of Queensland road trips to get some ideas of where it might appeal to you.

Partners categorise similar models into “vehicle groups” and confirm availability on this basis. Our team are available to contact the depot on your behalf where you are picking up your vehicle to enquire what models are available under the vehicle group you booked. Please contact customer support for further information.
