Car rental at Brisbane Airport

Brisbane Airport is the main international airport serving Brisbane and South East Queensland, Australia. Many people pick up a hire car here, so they can explore the city and venture further afield — great drives from Brisbane Airport include ones along the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

The airport is the third-busiest in Australia, with 26 airlines flying to almost 70 destinations around the world. Because of this, the airport has become a hotbed for car hire companies serving the influx of travellers: there are a number of well-known companies based at the airport itself, and some smaller companies (often based off-site) competing for business.

When choosing your ideal hire car, it can be difficult to know which company offers the best value for money. We are here to help you find your perfect hire car at Brisbane Airport, and make the process of renting as straightforward as possible.

To make your money go further, you will find plenty of cars with a full-to-full fuel policy (meaning you will avoid hidden fuel charges if you drop the car off with a full tank) and lots of great deals which include a free additional driver: perfect if you want to split the driving with another person in your group.

We compare a number of major car hire companies, like Hertz, Thrifty and Europcar (as well as some local firms such as Redspot and East Coast Rentals) to bring you exclusive car hire deals.

To give you impartial advice, we ask each customer to rate and review their overall rental experience, so you can see exactly what they think of each company we work with. Simply click on the ratings by each car to see their feedback.

There is a fantastic range of cars at Brisbane Airport, from compact cars (ideal for single travellers and couples who aren’t planning to do a great deal of driving), right through to SUVs and 12-seater people carriers.

Many companies have their pick-up counter within the terminal, while others have off-site counters. Our website gives you all the information you need to choose the right deal for you.

To make finding your perfect car even easier, you can use the filters to narrow down the search results based on your needs and preferences. You can filter results based on fuel policy, size, supplier, rating, pick-up location and specifications (like air conditioning and manual transmission).
