Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best deals on a Rockhampton Budget car rental?

We strive to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you reserve your car. However, reserving your car ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and check the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my vehicle in Rockhampton?

You will need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Rockhampton's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Rockhampton is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policies, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals especially.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Rockhampton?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Rockhampton. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and good for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Rockhampton vacation can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Australia?

In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) typically provide some coverage. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Rockhampton. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Budget car rental?

Budget does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the model and make of the rental.

Do I have to return my Budget rental with a full tank?

We suggest a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank. If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring your car back to Budget. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Rockhampton definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Rockhampton?

Budget typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental car at a different location. However, there is typically an additional fee when you choose one-way.
