Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Shellharbour Airport (WOL)?
You can rent a set of wheels from Europcar, which is just a short commute from Shellharbour Airport (WOL).
What happens if I need to cancel my Lake Illawarra car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you advise us more than six hours ahead of pickup. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so you may want to read through your car's rental agreement.

Whether you're sticking around Lake Illawarra or headed beyond, we'll have a set of wheels that suits your style.

What do you need to rent a car in Lake Illawarra?

Where can I find a Lake Illawarra car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a Lake Illawarra outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news!
