Car rental at the Rockhampton Airport

Swap those UK grey skies for the tropical weather of Australia. Rockhampton enjoys a tropical savanna climate with hot summers and mild winters, quite different from your usual British weather. Sunscreen is a must on your checklist.

Driving in Queensland

Feeling disoriented about driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road? Do not worry. Getting used to driving on the left might initially feel challenging, but the experienced British travellers before you have all managed just fine.

Transport & Connections

The airport is conveniently located just 5 kilometres from the city centre. Depending upon your preferences, car rental services, taxis, ride-sharing apps are all available for your ride to the hotel.

Car Rental

Multiple car rental companies are stationed at the airport. From compact to sedans to SUVs, a variety of cars will fit your budget and your luggage. The Australians love their 'Utes', so if you're feeling adventurous, you could give that a go!

Currency & Costs

Don't forget, the Brits will be dealing with Australian dollars (AUD) here. The prices could seem high when compared to GBP, however, be assured that the costs are generally comparable to the UK when comparing value items.

The Surrounding Cities

Rockhampton is centrally located between Brisbane and Townsville. Whether it’s a blast on the beach or exploring the lush outdoors, adventure is everywhere. Make the most of your stay by visiting nearby cities and attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef, Capricorn Caves or Keppel Island.

Fuel Stations

Did you know that unlike the UK, Aussies refer to fuel as 'petrol', not 'gas'? And 'gas stations' are 'petrol stations'. So, don't get confused when you hear these words. Several petrol stations are conveniently located close to the airport.
