There is no better way to see everything Canberra has to offer than by getting behind the wheel of your Hertz rental car.

Make your next vacation to Australia more enjoyable with a Hertz rental car.
With all there is to do and see in and around the Canberra area, you'll want to take in more than the block your hotel is on during your visit. Whether you are wishing to check out that new restaurant across town or see some of the best local favorites, you'll want your own set of wheels to take in as much as possible during your stay. No matter where you end up staying in Canberra, if you want to get the most out of your visit, having access to your car is a must.

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Canberra is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to check Hertz's policies to know what the total cost is for you.
That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Canberra. Economy or compact vehicles are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a sedan or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Canberra trip can choose the premium category to get a car like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.
In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Hertz requires a deposit when you book your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.
At CarRentals.com, we advise a full to full policy. You should get your automobile with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, 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 find a filling station before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Canberra definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Canberra.
Hertz typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at another Hertz. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Canberra, having access to your own ride lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to see more of Australia, you can leave when you want to, without trying to signal for a taxi or sign up for a ride-share.
