Important information about Rockhampton car hire

How can I get from Rockhampton Airport (ROK) to the hire car centre?

Hiring a car in Rockhampton is quite straightforward. There is a regular shuttle bus service from Rockhampton Airport (ROK) to the Rockhampton city centre and destinations such as North Rockhampton (Stockland), Emu Bay, Yeppoon and Rosslyn Bay. The service, operated by Young’s Bus Service, departs from the Bus Zone located opposite the taxi rank at the southern end of the terminal. The car hire desks at the airport are located inside the terminal building. To hire a car, you can pick it up from the hire parking areas located just outside the terminal.

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

All drivers wanting to hire a car will need a current driver’s licence that has been in use for a minimum of 1 year at the time of pick up. The minimum age for hiring a standard vehicle in Queensland is 21, but you may need to be older to hire certain types of vehicles (such as SUVs and minivans). It is generally fine for overseas visitors to drive on their national driving licence provided all of your personal information is listed in English. If this is not the case, you must ensure that you have a notarised, professional translation of your licence on you at all times. You will also require your passport. Australian residents will only need their driver’s licence, but some agencies may want to see an additional piece of identification (such as a Medicare card). A valid credit card is required by all hirers. In some cases, you may use a debit card instead of a credit card, on the condition that it be issued by Visa or Mastercard. Check with your provider about their payment terms.

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

Rockhampton is a small town with a small central business district, and much of the town is residential. There are strict rules concerning speed limits and parking that visitors should be aware of. Speed limits are clearly signposted, and many streets in residential areas have speed bumps and other built-in obstacles designed to slow traffic. Parking is mostly free but limited in availability in the CBD, and both parking and traffic are strictly monitored by the police and city officials. Pay careful attention to signage to avoid parking in restricted areas or exceeding speed limits. Infringements are subject to stiff penalties and fines.

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

There are a number of restrictions imposed by most Rockhampton car hire companies on driving hired vehicles across state lines. You may generally drive a car hired in Rockhampton freely into New South Wales, but there are restrictions on driving cars hired in Queensland into the Northern Territory. If you are intending to drive long distances (and do not forget that distances in Australia can be vast) many companies can organise a one-way hire vehicle, which you can pick up in Rockhampton and then deliver to a destination in another state. Most hire agreements in Queensland will permit you to drive across the eastern states (NSW, Victoria and the ACT) freely, but you should discuss your situation with the car hire agency if you are intending to drive west. Be aware that most hire agreements do not permit off-road driving. If you want to drive off-road, some companies may offer specialised contracts and vehicles that will enable you to do this – you should be careful to discuss any applicable conditions.
