3. Because Bathurst Airport is not so busy, you may have to park the rental car and leave the keys in a dropbox. We recommend taking a photo when you park the car so there is a timestamp in case there are any questions as to when the car was returned. Make sure you also park it in spot that is dedicated to the car rental provider that you hired through.
