Luxury cars for hire in Australia

By Vroom Team • Reviewed 26 Jun 2026

If you’re looking for a rental car that is a bit fancier than the family-wagon, there are luxury cars to choose from.

VroomVroomVroom doesn’t just compare economy cars, SUVs, 8-seaters and campervans — we also make it easy to book luxury car hire and premium car rental right across Australia. If you want a touch of class, style or performance, we can help you find the ideal vehicle.

What luxury vehicles can you hire?

Not all suppliers offer luxury car rental, and availability depends on both location and driver requirements. As luxury and prestige vehicles are in high demand, we recommend booking your luxury hire car well in advance.

  • Hertz provides prestige models at most CBD and corporate branches around Australia.

  • Thrifty offers sports car rental in selected parts of Victoria.

  • Europcar has the widest coverage in Australia, with premium car rental options available in all major city and airport locations.

Where to rent a premium car in Australia?

Whether you are renting a luxury car for a date with your loved one, a road trip with the top down with your friends, or even a business trip, you can find the right luxury hire car for you by filtering your results with our booking box. For premium options, sort the results by clicking on “Large” and look for “Fullsize Elite”, “Premium”, and “Luxury” vehicles.

Luxury car hire in Adelaide

With luxury car hire in Adelaide, you can enjoy a premium driving experience from the moment you land. Collect your car at Adelaide Airport or an Adelaide city rental car depot and head to the Barossa Valley, the Adelaide Hills or along the Fleurieu Peninsula coastline. Rental car providers including Europcar and Hertz offer full-size elite and premium models in Adelaide that combine comfort with performance.

Luxury car hire in Brisbane

A luxury hire car in Brisbane can be a good fit, regardless of whether you’re travelling for business, planning a weekend away or adding extra comfort to a family holiday in Queensland. Premium vehicles work well for city driving, airport transfers, and scenic trips to the Gold Coast or even Tamborine Mountain. Luxury hire cars normally offer higher-end interiors, advanced technology, and a smoother driving experience, and as such they’re popular for special occasions and short breaks where the car is part of the experience. Availability can vary, so booking ahead is always a good idea, especially if you’re looking for a luxury rental car at Brisbane Airport.

Luxury car hire in Canberra

Choosing a premium car hire in Canberra can make both business trips and special occasions all the more comfortable. With suppliers at Canberra Airport and in the city, you’ll find prestige sedans and SUVs suited for everything from government meetings, weddings or even just a luxurious weekend away in the Brindabella Ranges. The selection of premium vehicles in Canberra can be limited at times, so this is one destination where it’s best to secure your booking early to avoid disappointment.

Luxury car hire in Melbourne

If you want to explore Victoria in style, renting a luxury car in Melbourne could be the right way to go. Drive the Great Ocean Road in a convertible, visit Yarra Valley wineries in a prestige SUV, or make a statement at that corporate event in the CBD. Europcar, Hertz and Thrifty all offer premium models from both Melbourne Airport and downtown locations, with plenty of choice ... if you book ahead.

Luxury car hire in Perth

Perth is a strong choice for luxury car hire, especially if you want extra comfort for longer drives — of which Western Australis has many. A premium vehicle can likewise make city travel feel easier, while also suiting scenic trips to Fremantle, the Swan Valley, Cottesloe Beach or the Perth Hills. For a longer break, you could head south towards Margaret River or north along the coast, provided your rental conditions allow the route. Even at popular locations like Perth Airport, luxury fleet sizes can be limited, so it’s well worth booking early.

Luxury car hire in Sydney

Sydney is well-suited to a luxury hire car, and while popular drives include the Northern Beaches or the Blue Mountains, a premium vehicle also works well for a shorter city stay, especially if you only need it for the day or a weekend. Luxury rental fleets are usually smaller than standard car fleets, so it’s worth booking early — for more detail, see our detailed guide to luxury car hire in Sydney.

Things to know before booking a luxury car in Australia

  • Age requirements: Most luxury car hire companies have strict age restrictions for luxury car rentals — drivers under 25 are often ineligible, and minimum ages of 25 or 30 can apply even for standard excess cover.

  • Deposits and cards: Many rental car providers will require a deposit plus A$1,000 authority on a credit card for luxury cars. Debit cards and cash are not accepted for premium vehicles. Many providers also require a separate excess reduction policy — see our guide on excess insurance options before you book.

  • Audi rentals: For some models, two credit cards may be required — one for the rental payment and another for the security bond. If you’re planning on renting in Audi, please check with the hire car company beforehand.
