Tips for hiring a car in Gladstone

Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in Gladstone including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 21 November 2024.
  • The specific documentation that may be required to hire a cheap car in Gladstone may vary depending on the hire company you choose and their specific requirements. However, you will generally need to show a valid driver's licence and proof of insurance, so it's a good idea to check your insurance policy or purchase additional hire insurance if necessary. The minimum age to hire a car with most car hire companies in Gladstone is 21 years old, although some companies may allow drivers as young as 18 or 20 with certain restrictions or additional fees. Hirers are also required to show a valid ID as proof of their age. Additionally, car hire companies usually require a credit card to secure the vehicle and for incidental expenses.
  • A recommended size for car hire in Gladstone is a compact car or a midsize sedan. Gladstone has limited parking spaces in certain areas, particularly in the town centre. Compact cars and midsize sedans are easier to manoeuvre and fit into tight parking spots, which are common in urban areas. Having a smaller car makes navigation through roadways and traffic flows more convenient, and compact cars are nimble and manoeuvrable, perfect for getting around the city's streets. Compact cars and midsize sedans typically have better fuel efficiency compared to larger vehicles or SUVs. This can be beneficial for long drives or when exploring the beautiful surrounding areas of Gladstone.
