KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Mount Isa
- Mount Isa is a large country town with many interesting sights and offers easy access to many natural attractions. To travel around and see the surrounding areas, you need a car hire in Mount Isa. It is the easiest and most convenient option as Mount Isa doesn’t offer many public transport options. With your Mount Isa car hire, you can easily visit the different mines Mount Isa is known for, producing copper, silver, lead and zinc. You can take a day trip to national parks, gorges and visit Australia’s outback.
- You can find car hire in Mount Isa at the airport. There are several global companies to choose from such as Avis, Budget and Hertz. The car hire companies are located in the main terminal building, in the arrivals hall, next to baggage collection and the exit.
- During the summertime, Mount Isa attracts many tourists and families. During this time most especially, watch out for jaywalking, as some pedestrians step onto the road without giving any warning. As it is a country town, this is also common during other times of the year. There are also a couple of cycling clubs, and many people cycle in the area as a mode of transport. It’s important to be aware when driving your car hire in Mount Isa during turning or even parking. After you park, take a look at your sideview mirror to make sure there aren’t any oncoming cyclists before opening your door. This is important as cyclists ride their bikes in-between parked and driving cars.
- Driving in Mount Isa is generally smooth; however, it’s important to watch out for weather changes and updates. Summers in Queensland can experience heavy and sudden rainfall, which causes flooding and some roads can be cut off. Certain roads are more susceptible to flooding than others, and they will have Water Over Road signs. These roads may be dangerous even after flooding has cleared up. If there has been significant flooding in an area, there may be signs that will provide an alternative route for you to follow.
