    How do I pick up a rental car at Canberra Airport?

    Canberra Airport (CBR) operates out of a single terminal building, which handles domestic and international flights. See below for clear instructions on how to find Canberra Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car at each terminal.

    • Where are the rental company desks at Canberra Airport?

      On airport
      Once you receive your luggage from the carousel, use the main front door to exit the area and you will find the car hire desks located just outside the main terminal entrance, on the ground floor.

    • Finalise your rental agreement and collect keys

      Once you are at the hire car company desk, you’ll need to finalise your rental agreement and collect your vehicle keys.

    • Head to the designated car park to pick up your car

      On airport
      The on-airport rental cars located a short distance away, directly behind the hire car desks. Don’t forget to pick up your keys from the hire car desk before heading to your hire car.

    • What should I do if the desk is unattended?

      Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.

      If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.

      If you still have no luck with making contact, call us at 1300 722 920 and consider heading to the parking area and look for uniformed staff. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned rental desks, but rest assured there’s usually help out in the car park where the rentals are located.

      We'll be right back

      Frequently asked questions

      On hiring a car at Canberra Airport

      • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental at Canberra Airport?

        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 at Canberra Airport 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.

      • Why would I need a rental car from Canberra Airport?

        We help book hire cars for many customers arriving at Canberra Airport. The purpose of having a rental car to drive around Canberra ranges from government employees needing transportation, to travellers wanting to explore the nation’s capital visiting attractions including the National Museum and the National War Memorial. People also collect a hire car from Canberra Airport to drive to other locations in the region such as Kosciuszko National Park and other destinations in the Snowy Mountains.

      • Can I drive from Canberra Airport to Sydney in a rental car?

        Yes, you can drive from Canberra to Sydney which is approximately 290 kms away via the M31. It is a pretty easy drive once you hit the highway with quite a few options to pull over for a break along the way.
