KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bundaberg

  • Explore all the attractions of Bundaberg conveniently, in the town or further out, with a hire car. With a Bundaberg car hire, you can access great road trips around the coastal routes. Day trips are a common way to explore the area, with beaches, wineries, and national parks all close by with car access. There are many beaches around the area that are much easier to access with a car. Also, in Bundaberg, you can drive on the beach; you can find your own private spot on the sand and have a picnic. These advantages make car hire in Bundaberg a more convenient choice than public transport.
  • You can hire a car in Bundaberg at Bundaberg Regional Airport (BDB); it has a car hire centre operating in the main terminal building. Car hire in Bundaberg is easy as there is a range of car hire companies to choose from, including Avis Car Rental, Europcar, Thrifty, Budget Australia and Hertz.
  • In the summertime, many tourists and families visit Bundaberg, Queensland. Watch out for jaywalking at this time of year, as many pedestrians may step onto the road without any warning. Also, there are many cyclists in the city and some ride on the roads. Be wary when driving your car hire in Bundaberg when turning and even parking, particularly in the main city area. After parking, make sure to look at your side mirror before opening your door, as cyclists ride in between driving cars and parked cars.
  • Driving in Bundaberg is generally smooth; however, keep an eye out for weather changes and updates. In Queensland, the summers can experience heavy rainfall, which can cause flooding and certain roads will be cut off. Some roads are particularly susceptible to flooding, which will have Water Over Road signs. You can be fined if you ignore these signs, as roads may still be unsafe after flooding has subsided. If there has been substantial flooding in an area, there will usually be signs that will provide you with an alternate route.
  • When travelling around Bundaberg with little ones, it's essential to follow Australian car seat regulations. Infants must be secured in a car seat that's rear-facing, while children between six months and four years old require a forward-facing or rear-facing child car seat. If you have children aged four to seven, you'll need to use an approved booster or forward-facing car seat. All car seats must meet the relevant Australian standards and be equipped with the correct harness. If you don't want to carry your own car seat, consider booking one with your Bundaberg car hire company.
  • To hire a car in Bundaberg, you need to possess an open driver's permit and be at least 21 years of age. If you are between the ages of 21 and 24, some Bundaberg car hire agencies may add a surcharge to your booking. The policy regarding this surcharge varies among hire companies, so it's recommended to compare and evaluate different options through KAYAK and read the policy conditions before booking your preferred vehicle. Note that the age and licence requirements remain the same whether you are looking for cheap car hire in Bundaberg or a more luxurious model.
  • Police regularly conduct random breath testing in Bundaberg and the surrounding areas. You must comply with Queensland’s drink-driving laws to keep yourself and others safe on the road and avoid penalties. Consistent with the laws throughout Australia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers of cars and motorcycles in Bundaberg is 0.05%. If you’re on a provisional licence or still on your learners, your legal BAC is strictly 0.00%. There are harsh penalties for drink-driving offences, which can include fines, licence suspension and even imprisonment in more severe cases.

FAQs about renting a car in Bundaberg

Whether you book a 4WD or cheap car hire in Bundaberg, you’ll need to check with your hire company first if you want to head out to areas like Wongi National Park, where you’ll need to traverse dirt roads like Agnesvale Rd.
