What your hire includes

Every hire from our fleet comes with the essentials covered, so you are not adding up hidden extras at the counter. Here is what is standard, and what you can add on if you need it.

  • Registration and CTP insuranceEvery vehicle is registered in the ACT and carries Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance. That covers injury to other people in a crash. You still need to arrange your own comprehensive insurance or take our damage cover option, and we will explain the difference before you sign.
  • Pre-hire safety checkWe check tyre pressure, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windscreen washer fluid before every hire. Lights, wiper blades, and air conditioning are tested too. If anything is borderline, we fix it or swap the car. You get a condition report noting any existing chips or scratches.
  • Cleaning and full tankThe car comes clean inside and out with a full tank of unleaded petrol or diesel. Return it full and there is nothing extra to pay. If you are running late or cannot find a station, tell us and we will sort it out without an admin fee.
  • Roadside supportIf you get a flat tyre, a dead battery, or an engine warning light during your hire, call us. We will arrange a jump starter, a tyre change, or a replacement vehicle. For long-term hires, we schedule a mid-hire service so the car stays in good condition.
  • Optional extrasAdd a child safety seat, GPS navigation system, roof rack, tow bar, or snow chains when you book. Extras are priced upfront so you see the total before you commit. If you are heading to the snow in winter, snow chains are worth adding before you leave Canberra.

Our Fleet in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Our Fleet in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory is a maintained selection of hire cars that covers everyday driving, family trips, and longer-term transport needs. Every vehicle in the line-up is serviced on schedule, checked for tyre pressure, brake fluid, coolant, and windscreen washer fluid before it leaves the yard, and cleaned between hires. That means you get a car that starts first time, stops when you ask it to, and does not leave you hunting for a service station on the Federal Highway.

Canberra drivers hire from us for all sorts of reasons. A car written off in a collision needs a replacement while the insurance claim runs. A tradesperson from Gungahlin needs a ute or van for a two-week job in Tuggeranong. A family flying into Canberra Airport wants a vehicle with a child safety seat already fitted. If you have been searching for vehicle fleet hire Canberra near me, our range covers those jobs and more, with options from a small car fleet hire Canberra travellers rely on through to a large car rental fleet Canberra families use for school holidays.

We match the car to your trip, check it before you drive, and keep the price clear.

How hiring works

Five straightforward steps from first call to keys in hand. Most hires are on the road within 24 hours of booking.

  1. Tell us the job

    Tell us the job

    Call us on 0402798402 or book online. Tell us how many people are travelling, how long you need the car, and whether you need extras like a child safety seat, GPS navigation system, or snow chains for a ski trip. We will match you to the right vehicle from our fleet.

  2. Confirm your details

    Confirm your details

    We check your Australian driver's licence or International Driving Permit, take a copy, and confirm your comprehensive insurance arrangements. If you are hiring for business, bring your Australian Business Number (ABN) and we will set up the paperwork. This takes about ten minutes.

  3. Pre-hire inspection

    Pre-hire inspection

    Before you drive away, we walk you around the car. We check the tyres, lights, wiper blades, and air conditioning, and show you where the jack and spare are. Any existing windscreen chip or scratch gets noted on the condition report so there is no argument later.

  4. Pick up and drive

    Pick up and drive

    Collect from your nearest location or arrange delivery. The car comes with a full tank, an electronic toll tag if you are using the expressways, and a quick run-through of the controls. We will point out the tyre pressure gauge in the boot and the number to call if anything goes wrong.

  5. Return or extend

    Return or extend

    Bring the car back with a full tank, or call us to extend your hire if your plans change. We do a quick check on return and email your final invoice the same day. If you are keeping the car long-term, we schedule a mid-hire service so it stays in good shape.

Tools and methods

  • Tyre pressure gauge

    Used on every pre-hire check to set pressures correctly for the load. A soft tyre affects handling and fuel use, especially on the highway to Sydney.

  • Jump starter

    Kept at each pick-up point for cold Canberra mornings. If a battery is flat, we get you going without waiting for a tow truck.

  • GPS navigation system

    Fitted or offered as an extra so you are not relying on your phone. Useful for visitors heading to the snow or outer suburbs.

  • Child safety seat

    Fitted and checked before you arrive. We match the seat to your child's age and weight, and show you how the harness works.

  • Roof rack and tow bar

    Available on SUVs and vans for bikes, trailers, and camping gear. Fitted before pick-up so you are not doing it in a car park.

  • Snow chains

    Offered in winter for trips to the Snowy Mountains. We show you how to fit them before you leave Canberra.

  • Pre-hire condition report

    We walk around the car with you and note any existing windscreen chip, scratch, or dent. You get a copy. This protects you at return and means there is no argument about damage you did not cause.

  • Fluid and safety check

    Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windscreen washer fluid are checked and topped up. Tyres, wiper blades, lights, and air conditioning are tested. If anything is borderline, we fix it or swap the car before you drive away.

When to hire from us

  • A family of five flying into Canberra Airport for a week-long reunion in Weston Creek.

    We meet you at the airport with a seven-seat SUV, child safety seats fitted, and snow chains in the boot for a day trip to the mountains. The paperwork takes ten minutes and you drive straight to your accommodation. No shuttle bus, no queue, no fitting seats in a car park. You start your holiday the moment you land.

  • A tradesperson in Gungahlin needs a van for a two-week fit-out in Tuggeranong.

    We supply a van with a roof rack and tow bar, checked for tyre pressure, engine oil, and brake fluid. If a warning light appears mid-job, we swap the vehicle the same day so you do not lose time. The job stays on schedule and you are not paying for a vehicle that is sitting in a workshop.

  • A rideshare driver in Belconnen has their car in the panel shop after a minor collision.

    We hire them a compliant vehicle with the right ACT registration and insurance for passenger work. They keep earning while their own car is repaired, and the daily rate is set before they pick up the keys. Income continues, the repair gets done properly, and there is no scramble to find a replacement.

  • A couple from Woden wants a small car for a weekend trip to the coast.

    We provide an economy hatchback that runs on unleaded petrol and is easy to park. It comes with a GPS navigation system or phone mirroring, a full tank, and an electronic toll tag for the expressways. A cheap, reliable weekend away without putting kilometres on their own car.

How our fleet runs in Canberra

Canberra is hard on cars in ways visitors do not expect. Winter mornings drop below zero, which drains batteries and stiffens tyres. Summer heat bakes dashboards and tests air conditioning. The city is spread out, so a car that feels fine on a short test drive can feel underpowered on the daily run from Tuggeranong to Civic. We choose vehicles that suit those conditions and check them accordingly. If you need vehicle fleet hire Canberra wide, we can deliver to your suburb and collect when you are done. For a small car fleet hire Canberra commuters can rely on, our economy hatchbacks are the cheapest to run and easiest to park. We also keep a jump starter and tyre pressure gauge at each pick-up point, because a flat battery on a frosty morning should not cost you a day. Whether you are heading to the snow, the coast, or just across town, the car you get has been prepared for the way Canberra drives.

  • BelconnenA busy commuter hub with plenty of apartments and townhouses. We often deliver economy cars here for people whose own vehicle is in for repairs.
  • GungahlinFast-growing and family-heavy. Large SUVs and vans are popular here for school runs and trades jobs.
  • WodenClose to the hospital and major employers. We see a lot of long-term hires for people in Canberra for work or treatment.
  • TuggeranongThe southern end of the city, with longer drives to the centre. Fuel-efficient cars and reliable batteries matter here.
  • Weston CreekQuiet, leafy, and close to the mountains. Snow chains are a common add-on for winter weekend trips from this area.
  • Sub-zero winter morningsBatteries lose charge and tyres stiffen. We check battery health and set tyre pressures before every winter hire, and keep a jump starter at each pick-up point.

From problem to finished result.

  • Written-off car, back on the road

    Before

    A driver in Belconnen had their car written off in a collision. The insurance repair was going to take six weeks, and they had no way to get to work in Civic. Public transport meant two buses and a long walk.

    After

    We supplied an economy hatchback from our fleet within 24 hours. They drove it for six weeks at a long-term rate, extended twice by phone, and returned it when their own car was ready. Total cost was a fraction of buying a replacement.

    Keep the hire car serviced if you extend past four weeks. We schedule the service and top up engine oil and coolant so you do not have to think about it.

  • Family trip without the squeeze

    Before

    A family of five in Weston Creek was trying to fit everyone and their luggage into a small sedan for a week at the coast. Roof racks were not available on their own car, so bikes and a trailer were left behind.

    After

    They hired a seven-seat SUV with a roof rack and tow bar. Child safety seats were fitted before pick-up, and snow chains went in the boot for a detour to the mountains. Everyone travelled comfortably with room to spare.

    Book large SUVs early for school holidays and the December period. Return the car clean and with a full tank to avoid extra charges.

  • Rideshare driver keeps earning

    Before

    A rideshare driver in Gungahlin had their car in the panel shop for ten days after a minor collision. Without a compliant vehicle, they could not accept fares and were losing income every day.

    After

    We hired them a vehicle with the right ACT registration and insurance for passenger work. They kept driving and earning through the repair period. The daily rate was agreed upfront, and the car was swapped for a fresh one when the first reached its service interval.

    Check the registration and insurance paperwork before you start accepting fares. Call us if you need to extend or swap vehicles during the hire.

Problems our fleet solves

Most people do not plan to hire a car. Something breaks, a trip comes up, or a job needs a vehicle you do not own. Here are the situations we handle most often.

  • Your car is off the road after an accident

    Your car is off the road after an accident

    We put you in an economy car or sedan from our fleet while your claim is processed. Long-term rates apply from day one, and you can extend by phone if the repair drags on. Call us with your suburb and we will arrange pick-up or delivery. Without a replacement, you are stuck at home, missing work, and relying on lifts that may not come. Insurance repairs can take weeks, and public transport in Canberra does not cover every suburb well.

  • You need a bigger vehicle for a family trip

    You need a bigger vehicle for a family trip

    Our large SUVs seat seven and come with roof rack and tow bar options. We fit child safety seats before you arrive and can include snow chains for winter trips. Book a few days ahead during school holidays to secure the right vehicle. Cramming five people and luggage into a small car makes a weekend away miserable. Roof racks and tow bars are not standard on most hire cars, so bikes and trailers get left behind.

  • A work job needs a van or ute

    A work job needs a van or ute

    We keep vans and utes in the fleet for short and long-term hire. They are checked for tyre pressure, oil, and brake fluid before you take them. If a brake noise or warning light appears on site, call us and we will swap the vehicle. Tradespeople and movers lose money when they cannot carry materials or equipment. Hiring a one-off van from a national chain often means a queue, a long walk, and a vehicle that has not been checked properly.

  • You are new to Canberra and need wheels

    You are new to Canberra and need wheels

    A long-term rental from our fleet gives you transport while you decide what to buy. Rates drop the longer you hire, and you can switch to a different vehicle if your needs change. We will show you the car before you commit. Settling into a new city without a car makes house hunting, job interviews, and school runs difficult. Buying a car immediately is expensive and risky if you do not know the local market.

A checked car, a clear price, and keys in your hand.

  • Serviced and road-ready

    Every vehicle gets a pre-hire check covering tyre pressure gauge readings, engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant levels. If a warning light comes on during your hire, call us and we will swap the car or send help. You should not have to worry about a flat tyre or a dead battery ruining a Canberra weekend.

  • Economy to large SUV

    Our range runs from small economy cars that sip unleaded petrol around town to seven-seat SUVs with a roof rack and tow bar for the boat or trailer. If you need a fleet of economy cars for hire in Canberra for a group booking, we can line up matching vehicles so your team all drives the same model.

  • Flexible hire lengths

    Take a car for a day, a week, a month, or longer. Long-term rentals suit people waiting on a repair, new arrivals to Canberra, or businesses that need extra vehicles during a busy period. Rates drop the longer you keep the car, and you can extend by phone without coming back to the office.

  • Local pick-up points

    We operate across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden, Tuggeranong, and Weston Creek, so you are never far from a pick-up. If you are arriving at Canberra Airport, tell us your flight time and we will have the car waiting. No shuttle buses, no queues at a counter, no waiting around.

What hiring costs

Hire rates depend on the vehicle, how long you need it, and the season. Economy cars start lower than large SUVs, and long-term rates drop the longer you keep the car. In 2026, typical pricing in Canberra runs from around $45 per day for a small economy car to $180 per day for a seven-seat SUV with extras. Weekly and monthly rates are cheaper per day. We quote the total upfront, including registration and CTP insurance, so you can compare vehicle fleet hire Canberra options without guessing.

What your estimate is based on

  • Vehicle size and typeEconomy hatchbacks cost the least per day. Sedans sit in the middle. Large SUVs, vans, and utes cost more because they use more fuel and take longer to clean and service between hires.
  • Length of hireDaily rates apply for short hires. Weekly and monthly rates drop the per-day cost significantly. If you need a car for more than four weeks, ask about long-term pricing and the included mid-hire service.
  • Season and demandSchool holidays, the December period, and long weekends are the busiest times. Book early to secure the vehicle you want. Outside those peaks, rates are lower and availability is better.
  • Extras fittedChild safety seats, GPS navigation systems, roof racks, tow bars, and snow chains are priced as add-ons. Each one is quoted upfront so you see the total before you commit. Fitting is included.
  • Pick-up and deliveryCollecting from one of our locations is included in the rate. Delivery to your home, workplace, or Canberra Airport is available for a small fee. Same-day delivery is often possible if you book before midday.
  • Fuel and cleaningThe car comes with a full tank. Return it full and there is nothing extra to pay. Standard cleaning is included. Excessive dirt or smoke odour may attract a cleaning charge, which we tell you about upfront.

$45 - $180 per day depending on vehicle and hire length You get a serviced, registered, and insured vehicle with no hidden fees. Long-term rates reward you for keeping the car longer, and extras are quoted before you commit. Compare the total, not just the daily rate.

What hirers say

  • My car was in the workshop for three weeks after a prang, and I needed something reliable for the daily drive to Civic. The economy hatch they gave me was clean, cheap on petrol, and started every morning despite the frost. When the repair took longer than expected, I extended by phone in two minutes. No fuss, no extra paperwork.
    Sarah M.Commuter, Belconnen
  • I hired a van for a two-week fit-out job in Tuggeranong. It had a roof rack and tow bar, which saved me bringing my own trailer. The team checked the tyres and fluids with me before I drove off, and when a brake noise started on day four, they swapped the vehicle the same afternoon. That is the kind of backup you want on a job.
    David T.Tradesperson, Gungahlin
  • We flew into Canberra for a family reunion and needed a seven-seater with a child safety seat already fitted. They met us at the airport, showed us how the seat worked, and had snow chains in the boot for a day trip to the mountains. The car was spotless and the whole thing took fifteen minutes. We will use them again next visit.
