Top tips for renting a car at Darwin airport

  • Car rental at Darwin Airport (DRW) provides a convenient transport option for visitors connecting to the city center and other destinations, including their destinations. Unlike public buses, which operate on fixed departure schedules and use fixed routes, renting a car at Darwin Airport comes with enhanced flexibility and convenience. You will avoid the long queues that are common at the bus stops at the airport. Additionally, you can conveniently decide your own time to leave the airport and the route to follow.
  • Being the main international airport in Darwin, Australia, DRW car rentals receive quite a large number of renters on a daily basis. Therefore, you are likely to get longer queues at the various car companies’ counters. The best way to avoid taking too long at these counters before the keys to your car is to reserve your car online via KAYAK prior to arriving at the airport. Doing this not only saves you from the inconvenience of long queues but also helps to ensure you get the car type of your choice.
  • Car rentals at Darwin Airport have an after-hours return policy, which gives their customers enhanced convenience when returning their rented car. With this policy, drivers returning their cars at the airport simply park them, lock the doors, and place the keys in the agency’s drop box. The companies do not charge any extra costs for returning the cars after working hours. However, if you want to return your car within working hours and have it processed before leaving, you should plan to drop it off between 6 am and 9 pm.
  • The unusually large number of people are at the various counters of car rental at Darwin Airport on weekends, making the process of picking up or dropping off the car inconvenient. The airport experiences a surge in the number of people arriving in or leaving Darwin on weekends. The same number reflects at the various car rental counters. You can avoid these long queues by booking your car online before arriving at the airport or picking up your car on weekdays.
  • Book your rental car at Darwin airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
