KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tweed Heads
- Car hire in Tweed Heads offers greater flexibility than if you were to travel with an alternative mode of transport like a bus, train or taxi. This is due to the fact that you can come and go as you please, rather than having to wait for buses or trains to arrive. For instance, if you were going to Casuarina, you can get there in about 16min by car, whereas if you wanted to complete this journey on public transport, it would take about 52 minutes and you would have to abide by the bus schedule.
- Gold Coast Airport (OOL) offers a wide choice of car hire companies, such as SIXT, Europcar and Avis, so it will be easy for you to find your perfect vehicle. For instance, you can get to the SIXT office by following the ‘Car Rentals’ sign inside the terminal. If you’re coming from luggage claim, you will need to walk right, whereas if you’re entering the terminal from outside, you should turn left.
- When you get a car hire in Tweed Heads, you will realise that it is a popular town in Australia. Lots of tourists come to the town to visit the coast and also to enjoy a day by the River Tweed.

There are also a lot of people on bicycles in this town, so it’s important you check your mirrors regularly, especially if you need to turn.
