Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Athlone car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before picking up the car, many bookings qualify for a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read the policy. Read through your confirmation for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Athlone?
Economy, premium, full-size ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the most popular in Athlone. If you're chasing something small and affordable, but not too small, this rental vehicle category is an excellent choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy models and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Athlone?
Athlone has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some ideas:

  • Approximately 193 kilometres away, Ballarat is also a hit with wanderers. Make time to get to Sovereign Hill while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this city.
  • The Twelve Apostles is situated 241 kilometres from Athlone and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air here.

Where can I find an Athlone car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Athlone rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
