Hire a car and visit Australia, The Island Continent
Surrounded by sea and blessed with thriving cities and natural wonders, Australia is a remarkable country, island and continent – all in one. There are endless things to do and countless places to explore. With a rental car from Hertz, you’ll find your way around easily and make memories to last a lifetime.
Pretty and Picturesque
Australia is a place with an expansive colour palette, with red outback sands, multicoloured reefs, verdant, wide open plains and sophisticated, modern cities. It’s home to the world’s most liveable city, as well as 19 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it one of the ultimate bucket list destinations.
Cultured, Cosmopolitan Cities
The majority of Australia’s population resides on the coast in cities and towns, with Sydney and Melbourne being the two largest urban centres. Sydney is Australia’s glamourous city by the sea, with a beach-going lifestyle, all about living life outdoors. Melbourne, on the other hand, is Australia’s culinary and cultural hub, famous for its thriving artistic and creative community, as well as its restaurants and cool cafes.
Take a Drive on the Wild Side
Australia is a vast country with an abundance of natural beauty. From the far north rainforests of Queensland, to the remote, rocky outcrops of Tasmania, Australia has just about every terrain and landscape you can imagine. With a coastline dotted with deserted beaches and wildlife like no other place on earth, it’s endlessly wild, formidable and fascinating.
A Flair for Food
Australia has taken its many diverse cultural influences right into the heart of its modern cuisine. The combination of Mediterranean and Asian influences combined with native Australian ingredients has gifted this island continent a thoroughly modern and vibrant culinary scene that is nothing short of spectacular. From its world famous coffee culture, to its wineries, Australia is a perfect place to explore for those with a taste for the finer things in life.
Car Hire in Australia
The sheer number of possibilities when road-tripping around Australia can be overwhelming. To help you plan a stress-free holiday we’ve prepared our guides to exploring the country by car.
Rent a car and take a tour of Australia's Capitals
The main attraction for many travellers, Sydney is the home of Australia’s glitz and glamour, boasting two of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations – the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Bridging Australia’s two largest cities, Canberra is the country’s capital city and home to many important historic landmarks including Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial.
For art and culture, Melbourne has well and truly earned its title as the world’s most liveable city. Packed with laneways, street art, cafes, bars, galleries, exhibitions, sport and festivals, it is a city that is easy and rewarding to lose yourself in.
Convenience, 19th century churches and world-class wine await visitors in Adelaide. This charming city offers the ideal balance of convenience and city lifestyle perfect for every holidaymaker.
Further west, fun in the sun awaits in Perth, a city with a glorious 3,000 average hours of sunshine every year. Explore the pristine beaches, laze on the Swan River, or catch a ferry across to Rottnest Island, home of the Quokka (the world’s happiest animal).
At the top end of Australia lies Darwin, Australia’s only tropical capital, a relaxed and convenient location from which to explore Kakadu National Park and Australia’s red centre.
Travellers to Brisbane have the luxury to choose between golden beaches, shopping and nightlife. For those looking to venture a little further from the capital, the theme parks of the Gold Coast are just a moment away.
Slightly adrift from the mainland, Hobart is a charming cultural hub filled with food, wine, laneways and charming arcades. No trip to Hobart is complete without a visit to MONA, Australia’s largest privately funded museum.
Of course much of the fun of holidaying in such a large country is discovering the highlights that are off the tourist track. Hiring a car and taking a great Australian road trip allows you to immerse yourself in everything this unique and beautiful country has to offer.
