Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kakadu car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the details about cancellations. In nearly all cases, complete refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. Be sure to read the car rental agreement to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Kakadu?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the top choice for many rental customers in Kakadu. With exceptional gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're perfect for cruising around the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a bit more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Kakadu?
Kakadu is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some great options:

  • Make your way to Darwin for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 193 kilometres from Kakadu, it's home to loads of amazing attractions such as Darwin Waterfront.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Kakadu with Expedia?
It's easy to score an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from popular rental providers. Save even more when you combine your Kakadu car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Kakadu?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kakadu?
Yes. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all car types. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Kakadu — or beyond!
Where can I find a Kakadu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Kakadu supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
