Frequently asked questions
On hiring a car in Katherine
Why are there no hire cars in Katherine at certain times of the year?
Our data shows that Katherine, along with other isolated cities in Australia, book out of rental cars during peak seasons (i.e., school holidays and major town events) because of the limited amount of rental cars available by providers in the area. We recommend always booking well in advance for this location.
Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Katherine?
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 Katherine 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.
Can I pick up a car hire in Katherine and drop it off in another location?
Absolutely. You can pick up your hire car in Katherine and drop off in another location. However, there may be a one-way fee charged to your booking by your supplier. To avoid surprises, we add this charge to the total cost displayed in our search engine.
Can I add an additional driver to my booking in Katherine?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your booking when you collect your hire car in Katherine. If adding after the pick-up date, you may visit a nearby depot of the supplier you've booked with to present their driver's licence as they will need to be added to the rental agreement before they can drive the hire car.
