Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies across Australia, providing you with a dense network of pick-up and drop-off points in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, as well as holiday destinations and regional areas like Cairns, Hobart, Darwin, Gold Coast, and Canberra. Key stations are located at international and domestic airports – for instance, Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), Brisbane (BNE), Perth (PER), and Adelaide (ADL) – as well as in city centers, including areas such as Sydney CBD, Melbourne CBD, Southbank in Melbourne, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, and Fremantle in Perth. This way, you can choose where to pick up and return the vehicle according to your itinerary, and even consider one-way rental between different regions, subject to availability and possible surcharges. The range of categories includes compact urban cars, family cars, SUVs, and off-road vehicles suitable for long journeys, with some allowing travel on unpaved roads according to the rental conditions. If you plan to travel in Tasmania, check in advance the ferry vehicle crossing policy and any special permits.
Operating hours vary between companies and branches, and are sometimes affected by national holidays, weekends, and more remote locations. It is advisable to verify in advance that the station you chose is open at your landing or arrival time, and prepare for possible delays. At many airports, counters operate extended hours, and at some locations, pick-up or drop-off can be coordinated outside business hours using after-hours service or a key box, subject to prior reservation and company confirmation. Make sure to bring a valid driver's license in English or an international driver's license, a credit card in the name of the primary driver, and check age restrictions and young driver surcharges if applicable. Plan for long travel times between destinations, stay updated on local driving rules and active toll roads in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and understand the fuel and mileage policy of your booking. Proper coordination of the pick-up location and business hours will ensure you receive a car at the most convenient time and place for you, allowing you to embark on your journey in Australia with confidence and peace of mind.
Heading to rent a car abroad? We’ve gathered four practical tips to help you plan correctly, understand important conditions, avoid unnecessary charges, and drive confidently—from booking to return, in Europe and every destination.
Ensure a credit card in the name of the primary driver
The rental company requires a physical, international, and real credit card (not debit) in the name of the primary driver for the deposit. Ensure sufficient credit limit and validity, and bring the card used in the booking if required.
Check driver age and additional driver
There is a minimum/maximum age and sometimes license duration required. There may be 'young driver' fees and a charge for an additional driver. Add an additional driver in the contract only and bring original licenses for all.
Understand insurance coverage and excess
Check what is included in CDW/TP and what is excluded (roof, undercarriage, windows, tires). Consider extensions or excess refund products. Keep documents and photos in case of damage or theft.
Plan border crossings and tolls
Crossing between countries or islands requires prior approval and may incur additional costs. Check for vignettes/tolls and electronic toll routes, and read the local toll road driving policy to avoid fines.
