IMPORTANT INFORMATION PRIOR TO PICKING UP YOUR VEHICLE
In Australia, you need to present:
A valid full driver's licence for the main driver and any additional drivers showing a current residential address in English. If you do not have a valid Australian Drivers License, an International Driver's Permit must accompany your driver’s licence.
A valid credit or debit card in the name of the main driver, matching the relevant Driver’s Licence
A passport if you are not an Australian resident
If using a debit card, you are required to provide a second form of acceptable identification in addition to your driver’s licence. For example, utility or phone bill (with matching address), bank statement (with matching address), passport or a credit card matching the main driver information.
NB: Payment by debit card is only available on selected vehicle types.
The Europcar counter is located inside the arrivals hall near the baggage collection carousels at both the domestic and international terminals.
The International terminal desk is not always manned so on arrival please make your way to the Europcar booth and use the phone on the counter to speak to a Europcar team member.
