Cheap car hire in Wagga Wagga
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Wagga Wagga
- To hire a vehicle in Wagga Wagga, you need to be at least 21 years old with a full and valid driver’s licence. Note that if you are between 21 and 24 years of age, a young driver surcharge will likely be applied to your Wagga Wagga hire car. Even if you’ve booked cheap car hire in Wagga Wagga, this surcharge will increase the daily hire price. Each car hire agency in the region handles this surcharge differently, so it’s worth checking the terms and conditions before booking your preferred vehicle.
- If you’ll be travelling with children, note that Australian car seat rules apply to hire cars in Wagga Wagga. Infants must be placed in a rear-facing child car seat. Any children aged 6 months to 4 years will need to use a forward-facing or rear-facing child car seat with a harness. From the ages of 4 to 7, youngsters must be fitted into either an approved booster seat or a forward‑facing child car seat with a built-in harness. After the age of 7, children should still use a booster seat until they are tall enough for a seatbelt. Whichever option you use, your child's seat must be compliant with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1754.
- Cheap car hire in Wagga Wagga will open up an abundance of scenic road trips. Heading west along the A20 for around 100 km will take you to Narrandera, where you can swim at Lake Talbot and spot koalas in the wild. Heading east along Oura Rd for around 80 km will take you to Gundagai, where you can see the famous Dog on the Tucker Box and discover fascinating stories from Australia’s history. Around 40 km south of Wagga Wagga along the A41, you’ll find The Rock Nature Reserve - Kengal Aboriginal Place, which offers scenic hiking trails and stunning views of the region.
- Wagga Wagga is a regional city in New South Wales, and while the centre is relatively small, there is a lot to see and do in the surrounding areas, such as visiting Wagga Wagga Botanical Gardens or Lake Albert, south of the city centre. Car hire in Wagga Wagga offers you the possibility of exploring these attractions and points of interest at your own pace.
- Car hire in Wagga Wagga can be done at the airport. Head over to one of the kiosks in the terminal next to the arrival gate. You have the choice of hiring from Avis, Hertz, Thrifty or Budget. It is advisable to check prices through KAYAK and book in advance to save time and hassle at the airport.

Wagga Wagga is subject to the road rules of the state of New South Wales, and Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road. Pay careful attention to pedestrian crossings as these are strictly observed. Stop for a yellow light unless it is unsafe to do so. Avoid touching your mobile phone while driving and be sure to limit your intake of alcohol as the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%.
- Wagga Wagga car hire shouldn’t add any stress to your holiday. The only things to really be careful of are other drivers, as is the case anywhere, and wildlife. Kangaroos are known to jump across roads without warning and they are especially difficult to see around dawn and dusk. It is advised to not drive in more rural areas or roads lined with bush whilst it’s dark. In the city centre, however, you should be fine.
