Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Penrith car reservation?
No problems! If you cancel your prepaid rental at least six hours prior to the pickup time, you're likely to receive all of your money back. You'll want to scan the rental agreement as there are some exclusions. Head to our Customer Service Portal if you're unsure of anything.
What types of cars can I rent in Penrith?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spaces are no match for an economy car --- the most in-demand rental type in Penrith. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Penrith can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Penrith?
Penrith is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider area. These are some great options:

  • You'll find Old Trafford and many other interesting attractions in Greater Manchester. From Penrith, it's around 137 kilometres away.
  • Situated 161 kilometres away, Chester is also popular with wanderers. Make sure you take in Chester Zoo while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Venture into nature and appreciate the serenity at Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It's 257 kilometres from Penrith.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Penrith?
Rental vehicle rules in Penrith require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Penrith?
Renting a car in Penrith is easy as pie. Normally, all that's required is your driver's licence and a credit card. After you've found a great set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Penrith?
If you're renting a vehicle in Penrith, you'll need to stick to the left. Note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.

Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then secure your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Penrith or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Penrith car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Penrith rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
