  • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Kempsey?

    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 Kempsey 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 my hire car in Kempsey and drop it off somewhere else?

    Absolutely. You can pick up your hire car in Port Macquarie 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.
