Are you flying into the Gold Coast?
Consider collecting your vehicle from the airport. We work with a range of car hire providers at Gold Coast Airport (OOL).
There are no toll roads in the Gold Coast, but if you’re driving from Brisbane you may use the Clem7, Gateway Motorway, or Legacy Way, which do have toll charges. Check with your car hire provider when you collect your rental car to find out the details.
Traffic can be congested during holiday periods, so allow for additional travel time. Additionally, the standard peak traffic time is usually 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The Gold Coast is popular with cyclists so be sure to be a cyclist-aware driver.
It’s fairly easy to find street parking along the coast. Check signage for duration and payment requirements. See a map of city parking locations, and for those flying out of the Gold Coast, check out our airport parking options.
Planning to get a one-way car rental for an interstate trip? You can book a hire car on the Gold Coast and return it to another location. Just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location.
The speed limit in built-up areas of the Gold Coast is 50km/h and 100km/h on highways. Always drive to the signposted speed limit and the conditions of the road.
Compare fuel prices: It’s important to return your hire car with a full tank to avoid extra fuel fees. Find affordable fuel when you need to fill up with our free fuel price comparison app.

If you’re looking for a rental car depot that is close to — but not at — Gold Coast, here’s a selection of hire car depots to choose from.
On hiring a car in the Gold Coast, Queensland

If you are looking for a Luxury SUV option, the rate is AUD $169 per day. Make sure to check a live rate for your desired car hire dates in Gold Coast.
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 $150 per day. Check for a live rate by entering your desired car hire dates in Gold Coast.
The highest-rated rental car in Gold Coast is Mitsubishi Pajero or similar, based on ratings by our customers within the last 12 months.
Europcar is the highest-rated car hire provider in Gold Coast, 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 the Gold Coast 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.
While the Gold Coast has a range of transport options, a rental car brings with it unrivalled flexibility. The train line that serves the Gold Coast is primarily a rail link to Brisbane and so while handy for commuting between the two, it is of less use if you’d like to explore a bit further. Likewise, the buses, while convenient, do have limited hours of operation. You could always rely on Uber or taxis, but their costs can add up fast — particularly if you’re planning on longer trips. With a rental car, you can combine both its flexibility and convenience — and all this for a not unreasonable price. Once you weigh up the cost and lesser convenience of other transport options, especially if you’re planning on doing some road trips or scenic drives from the Gold Coast, deciding to hire a rental car can be a very smart move.
