KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bundaberg
- When travelling around Bundaberg with little ones, it's essential to follow Australian car seat regulations. Infants must be secured in a car seat that's rear-facing, while children between six months and four years old require a forward-facing or rear-facing child car seat. If you have children aged four to seven, you'll need to use an approved booster or forward-facing car seat. All car seats must meet the relevant Australian standards and be equipped with the correct harness. If you don't want to carry your own car seat, consider booking one with your Bundaberg car hire company.
- To hire a car in Bundaberg, you need to possess an open driver's permit and be at least 21 years of age. If you are between the ages of 21 and 24, some Bundaberg car hire agencies may add a surcharge to your booking. The policy regarding this surcharge varies among hire companies, so it's recommended to compare and evaluate different options through KAYAK and read the policy conditions before booking your preferred vehicle. Note that the age and licence requirements remain the same whether you are looking for cheap car hire in Bundaberg or a more luxurious model.
