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. This means that there are lots of people crossing the road and often not using the designated pedestrian crossings. Due to this, you should drive with care in the town centre. 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.
  • When you get a Tweed Heads car hire you will notice that traffic can get quite busy during peak season. The busier road times tend to be between 06:00 and 09:00 and 16:30 and 19:00, when lots of commuters head to and from Brisbane for work. If you want to avoid lots of traffic, it’s recommended that you stay off the road during these times. One road in particular that can get very busy is Kennedy Drive, which connects the town to the Gold Coast Highway. So unless you need to, it’s best to avoid this road.
  • Book your car hire in Tweed Heads at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Tweed Heads are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average
