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

There are a selection of car rental companies located at Darwin Airport. See below for clear instructions on how to find Darwin Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car at each terminal.

  • Darwin Airport Terminal

    Darwin Airport has one terminal from where both domestic and international flights operate. The terminal is divided into two levels, with the ground level where you’ll find the arrivals area, baggage claim, and transportation options. The upper level is where you will find the departures area, check-in counters, and security checkpoints.

  • Is your rental company desk on-airport or off-airport?

    On airport
    The on-airport car hire desks can be found at Arrivals near the baggage claim area on the ground level.
    Off airport
    If you booked with an off-airport provider, you can catch a shuttle to the car rental provider’s premises near the airport.
  • Finalise your rental agreement and collect keys

    Once you are at the hire car company desk, you can 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 are located just outside the terminal.
    Off airport
    Shuttle bus to hire car depot.
  • 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 provided and let them know you have arrived or follow the directions 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 making contact, call us at 1300 722 920 or consider heading to the parking area to look for uniformed staff. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned rental desks, but rest assured there’s usually help in the car park where the rentals are located.

    We'll be right back

Returning a hire car at Darwin Aiport

  • On-airport

    You’ll need to return your hire car to the same location as the pick up area detailed above.

  • Off-airport

    With off-airport returns a shuttle service is provided for moving between the depot and the airport.

    For Bargain Car Rentals, return the vehicle to the depot located at 1/8 Osgood Drive Eaton. A courtesy shuttle service will take you directly to the designated drop-off point close to airport departures.
