If you’re planning on renting a hire car for a holiday in Queensland, the state capital of Brisbane is a terrific choice. A riverside city, Brisbane sits in the southeast corner of the state, and Brisbane International Airport is under 20 km northeast of the city CBD. With a comprehensive range of rental car providers offering a wide variety of vehicles, Brisbane is one of the best options in Queensland for holidaymakers looking for competitively priced hire cars.
Aside from offering a wide variety of rental cars, Brisbane is also a great starting point for a road trip. With the Gold Coast to the south, both the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Heads to the north, and the “Garden City” of Toowoomba just a two-hour drive inland, you can use Brisbane as a base for a series of short — or longer — road trips to explore Queensland on your self-drive holiday.
VroomVroomVroom makes searching, comparing and booking an affordable hire car in Brisbane easy and fast. With our easy-to-use search function you can search for — and book — your hire car in as little as two minutes.

Are you flying into Brisbane?
Consider collecting your vehicle from the airport. We work with a range of car hire providers at Brisbane Airport (BNE).
When you’re driving in Brisbane, please be aware that many of the city’s highways require toll payments. Don’t forget to discuss toll payment options with your hire car provider when you collect your rental car.
A bustling city, when driving in Brisbane you may find yourself in heavy traffic during peak traffic times. Allow additional travel time when driving to and from the city in the early mornings and evenings.
Parking can be expensive in Brisbane, so make sure to check online for special offers or discounts, as many parking operators will offer a lower price for pre-booking online. We have listed down some options if you need to park at Brisbane Airport.
If you’re planning a one-way hire car rental from Brisbane to the Gold Coast, just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location. Other popular one-way rentals from Brisbane include the Sunshine Coast, Cairns, and more.

We ask customers to review the provider's depot experience after they've returned their rental vehicle. The review scores are calculated by averaging the scores of the reviews that we collect. For more information please read our Terms and Conditions.
Learn more about depot reviews.
Whether you’re a Brisbane local after a short rental, or a visitor chasing value for money, have a look at picking up your rental car at one of our many locations across Brisbane. With depots from the city to the suburbs, there’s sure to be a location that suits your needs.
On hiring a car in Brisbane, Queensland
Prices start at AUD $56 per day for an Economy Car, up to AUD $252 per day for a Fullsize SUV. Get a live rate for your planned dates and desired vehicle in Brisbane.
If you prefer to plug your car in rather than fill it up, an Electric Car costs between AUD $87 and AUD $154 per day. Enter your car hire dates and find a live rate for your desired Electric Car in Brisbane.
If you’ve got a crowd, but don’t need something as large as a bus, then a 7-seater or 8-seater Minivan hire might be your best option. A Minivan costs AUD $133 per day. Check for a live rate by entering your desired car hire dates in Brisbane.
The highest-rated rental car in Brisbane is Mitsubishi Pajero or similar, based on ratings by our customers within the last 12 months.
Thrifty is the highest-rated car hire provider in Brisbane, based on ratings by our customers.
The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Brisbane may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
Some Brisbane City car hire providers have depots that are easier to find and get to than others. Most of the depots within the city area are found in car parks or hotels. If you can collect a car outside of the CBD area, you may find it easier to access the car hire depot. You can check the depot addresses above to determine if you will be within walking distance of a car rental depot based on your accommodation location.
Travellers are recommended to book a hire car in Brisbane if they plan to venture to the outskirts of the CBD or further. Within the CBD there are public transport options and it is quite walkable. Public transport like ferries, buses and trains can also help get you to areas outside of the CBD, however, a rental car will give you the added convenience of travelling when and where you want to.
Due to charges levied by airports on hire car providers operating within Brisbane Airport, renting a car from the airport is generally more expensive than off-airport, and downtown Brisbane locations. The exact premium can vary between Brisbane Airport rental car providers, generally airport rentals tend to be up to 25% more expensive than off-airport car rentals. For short rentals this surcharge is less of an issue, but if you are renting a hire car from Brisbane Airport for a prolonged period of time, significant savings are possible by choosing to rent from an off-airport provider.
The minimum age to rent a car in Brisbane is 21 years of age, but drivers under the age of 25 will be subject to a “Young Driver Surcharge.” This surcharge is levied per day of rental and the exact charge may vary from one rental car provider to another.
Holders of a Provisional Licence (P Plater) may be able to hire a car in Brisbane as long as they have held their provisional licence for at least 12 months, but this should be confirmed beforehand with the provider as not at rental car providers accept provisional licences. They must also be at least 21 years of age.
Booking a rental car is easy. The car rental providers will generally charge you in 24 hours blocks, however, you can pickup and drop off a rental car on the same day if needed. When completing a search, ensure you enter the correct day and times for pickup and drop off to be shown vehicles that will be available for your needs. This is important as most depots have certain hours for pickup and drop offs and may not be open if you decide to return the car early. While a rental car can be hired for as little as one hour, the minimum period charged will be 24 hours, so to maximise your car hire booking, we would suggest having the hire car for at least 24 hours.
