One-Way Car Hire FAQs

One-way car rentals are a great solution to the age-old car-rental problem: what if I want to drive somewhere and stay? Now, with car supplier offices across the country, the answer is simple: drop it at your destination. So, take a seat while we drive through some questions and answers on how it all works.


Is one-way car hire right for me?

A one-way car rental is the perfect fit if driving back to the pick-up point adds time and hassle. Maybe you’re moving home, need to drive to the airport, want a one-way cruise up the coast to sooth that roadtrip craving. Sometimes, the best solution is to go one way.


How do I get a cheap one-way car rental deal?

We shamelessly hustle and fight off other wannabees to bring you incredible deals from all the trusted car suppliers. Just add your travel details (don’t forget to include your drop-off destination) and hit that button for instant deals, all on one page. Order by price to see the cheapest offers first and use the filters to narrow down your options. If your plans aren’t fixed, try changing dates or locations to see alternative prices.


What does one-way car hire cost?

Ah, that bottom line. One-way car rental prices depend on supplier, car type, your dates and those pick-up and drop-off points. Some car firms charge an extra drop-off fee for one-way car hires, which is why it’s handy to see loads of deals together to compare prices and find the perfect one.


Can I pick from different car types for one-way car hire?

Yes, because picturing sitting behind the wheel is the best part of choosing a hire car. It might be you’re looking for a small economy or compact cutie to get you from A to B. But even those offer a sweet, responsive drive. SUVs and vans are tough road machines with an excellent driving position. Convertibles, luxury cars, sports cars all fit that suave personality of yours, (or just fake it while you rent it).


Which car hire suppliers offer one-way car rentals?

Your search results show one-way car hires from all the main trusted car-hire companies, like Sixt, Budget and Avis. Our car hire company filter is there in case you want to find your favourite.


Which destinations are good for a one-way car hire?

Start a one-way road trip along the Pacific Coast Way by renting a car in Cairns and driving down to Brisbane. You have rainforests on one side and gorgeous surf on the other. Collect your hire car in Perth and drive one way through the gorges of Western Australia up to Broome, stopping at any of the stunning empty beaches and national parks en route.


Can I cancel my one-way car hire for free?

Yes, many car suppliers offer deals with free cancellation, so you can reserve a car at today’s price and cancel for free up to six hours before pick up. Some deals may be non-refundable, so check before you book.
