KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Albury
- If you’ll be taking the kids on your trip to Albury, it’s important to be aware that Australian car seat rules will apply. Infants need to use a rear-facing car seat, while children between the ages of six months and four years must have a forward-facing or rear-facing child car seat. If your kid is between the ages of four and seven, you’ll need a booster seat or forward‑facing child car seat. All car seats need to be compliant with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1754 and fitted with the appropriate harness. If you don’t wish to travel with a bulky car seat, you can generally book one with your hire agency, even if you've opted for cheap car hire in Albury.

Each Albury car hire agency has its own rules around the young driver surcharge, so be sure to compare a few options through KAYAK and read the terms and conditions before booking the vehicle you want.
