Car hire at Griffith Airport

In Australia, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Check with your car hire company about any new local rules in the area and make sure you keep your car hire papers in your car in case of any stops by traffic police. Obey the rules of the road and you should have a safe and happy driving experience. Most drivers here are friendly and will give you a wave as you pass them on the open roads.

When you hire your car from Griffith Airport, you are going to need to show some important documentation, like a valid driver's licence, an ID or passport, a credit card for insurance purposes and proof you are within the legal age to drive. There are youth and elderly surcharges if you fall out of the age range, which is generally around 25 to 70 years. Keep all your documentation with you in case of any roadblocks or random road checks by traffic police.

Hiring a car at the airport is convenient, as once you are ready to fly home, you simply arrive at the car hire area, where they will do their checks and you can drop off your car. Check with your hire company if you are able to drop off after hours and what the restrictions would be. Some car hire companies will allow you to return your car to another location, but just check the rules beforehand.

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Griffith airport to off-airport locations include Avis, and Hertz.
