CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best price, no matter when you book. However, getting ahead of your visit can help you save even more. Be sure to check the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Kangaroo Island. Compact or economy cars are easier to park and good for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a sedan or SUV will have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Kangaroo Island trip can choose a higher-end vehicle like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent in Australia. Many of the major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually offer coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Kangaroo Island. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Hertz does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip to Kangaroo Island. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the model and make of the rental.
At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You should get your automobile topped off. But, if you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before you bring your car back to Hertz. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Kangaroo Island certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities here.
Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to drop off your vehicle at a different Hertz. Be aware there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
