Frequently asked questions
On hiring a car in Mackay, Queensland
Why are there no hire cars in Mackay at certain times of the year?
Our data shows that Mackay, 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 Mackay?
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 Mackay 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 Mackay and drop off in another location?
Absolutely. You can pick up your hire car in Mackay and drop off in another location. However, there may be a one-way fee charged to your booking by your supplier.
