Important information about Coolangatta car hire

How do I get from Gold Coast Airport (OOL) to the car hire centre?

Coolangatta's closest major airport is Gold Coast Airport (OOL). The drive from the airport by hire car, shuttle or taxi is usually just a few minutes. The car hire desks in the Domestic Arrivals area are near the exit, by the taxi rank. The car hire desks in the International Arrivals area can be found after Customs, next to Qantas Club. Once you've completed the required paperwork, the pick-up area is a short walk from the terminal. There are also some ground transport options you can use if you plan on picking up your hire car in Coolangatta instead. The line 760 bus departs frequently throughout the day and usually gets to Coolangatta in less than 15 minutes. You can also book a private transfer service such as Con-X-ion, which has a staffed desk and e-kiosks for out-of-hours bookings. Taxis are also available just outside the Domestic Arrivals exit.

What documentation do I need to hire a car in Coolangatta?

Domestic tourists will usually only need a driver's licence and debit or credit card to hire a car in Coolangatta. Occasionally, you may be asked for additional identification. This can usually be your Medicare card or your passport. International travellers are more likely to be asked for their passports as additional ID. Wherever you're visiting from, if your driver's licence is in English, you won't need to get an International Driver's Permit. However, if it is in another language, you will. If you choose to pay with a debit card, it needs to be issued by either Mastercard or Visa. You may also need to pay a higher security deposit for this. Remember that your payment card must match the name on your driver's licence. If you've booked a hire car online ahead of your arrival, consider printing out the confirmation of your booking to present at the desk.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Coolangatta?

While you can get a full driver's licence when you're 20 years old in Australia, car hire companies will require you to be at least 21 before hiring a car in Coolangatta. This is partially because you're also required to have held a full driver's licence for at least one year. Once you're on the road, most road rules in Queensland are similar to the rest of Australia. They do have stricter laws regarding sleeping in your car compared to some states. If you're planning a long road trip and think you'll need to take naps or sleep in your car, you'll need to use designated rest stops or camping grounds. Luckily, there are plenty of them located along major routes. Rest stops are designed for short-term use, usually 20-22 hours. Look for the signs with a large P – these are for general use. Some rest areas are only for heavy vehicles.

Can I drive to other states, regions or countries with a hire car from Coolangatta?

Coolangatta sits right on the border between Queensland and New South Wales. Most Coolangatta car hire companies are happy to let you drive your hire car between Queensland and New South Wales. Some companies may restrict you from driving to other states, particularly the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Enterprise, for example, allows you to drive between all other Australian states and territories except the Northern Territory and Western Australia. If you're visiting in winter, some areas in New South Wales may also be subject to snowline restrictions. Areas in Queensland north of Cooktown and west of Chillagoe are also often prohibited areas. If you're hoping to take your car hire to any islands along Queensland's coast, let your provider know beforehand. Some may not allow you to take your car onto certain islands and most will require you to take out additional insurance before using a car ferry. Unsealed roads and beaches also often fall outside the permitted area of use.
