Car hire at Proserpine Whitsunday Coast Airport

Proserpine Whitsunday Coast Airport car hire is subject to the same rules as the rest of Australia. You won't be able to hire a vehicle if you're under the age of 21 or haven't had your licence for at least 12 months. If you're under 25, be prepared to pay an extra surcharge as a young driver. You'll need to have a valid credit card with your name on it to pay for the vehicle and the deposit. If you've booked online before arriving, you'll need the same card used and the owner of the card must be present. Please also keep your local driving licence, or your licence with an International Driving Permit, handy.

The car hire parking garage is located across from the airport and doesn't have the same facilities available; you'll have access to a waiting room. If you need to use the toilet or grab a bite to eat, you'll have access to the airport facilities. There are also ATMs and currency exchange services offered inside the terminal, if you need cash before heading out on the road.

The type of car you choose to hire at the airport depends mostly on your individual needs. The roads in the area are more suited to smaller cars, so if you're travelling by yourself or with fewer passengers, stick with a compact or economy car. These cars are also more fuel efficient, which could save you money in the long run. If you're travelling with more people, all of the car hire agencies offer SUV and van options. 4x4 vehicles are a popular choice among those planning on taking road trips and travelling around the area.  

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Proserpine Whitsunday Coast airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, and keddy by Europcar.
