Common questions

Car rental FAQs.

Driving overseas works a little differently country to country. Here's what Aussie travellers most want to know before they pick up the keys.

How do I book a car rental through Select World Travel?

Use the Get a Quote button on this page to search live availability and pricing through our partner DriveAway, one of the world's leading car rental brokers. You can compare vehicles, pick-up locations and total pricing in minutes. Prefer to talk it through? Call our Gold Coast team on 1800 242 373 and we'll arrange it for you.

What's included in the rental price?

DriveAway rates are inclusive of major charges such as unlimited kilometres (on most vehicles), standard insurance and local taxes, with the total clearly shown before you book. Optional extras like GPS, child seats, additional drivers and reduced-excess cover can be added. Always review the inclusions shown at the time of quoting.

Can I hire a car in one country and drop it off in another?

Yes, one-way and cross-border hire is available in many regions, particularly across Europe. A one-way fee may apply depending on the pick-up and drop-off locations. The quote system will show you availability and any one-way charges when you search your dates and locations.

Do you offer automatic cars overseas?

Yes. Automatic vehicles are available in most destinations, though in some regions (especially Europe) they're in higher demand and can cost more than manuals, so it's best to book early. You can filter for automatic transmission when you search for a quote.

What do I need to hire a car overseas?

You'll generally need a full, valid driver's licence held for a minimum period, a credit card in the main driver's name for the security bond, and in many countries an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your Australian licence. Minimum age and young-driver surcharges may apply. We'll help you understand the requirements for your destination.

Can I rent a campervan or motorhome?

Yes. DriveAway offers campervans and motorhomes across popular destinations including Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America — ideal for road trips and self-drive holidays. Call us on 1800 242 373 and we'll help match the right vehicle to your itinerary.
