Sunshine Coast Airport Car Hire (MCY)
SIXT car hire at Sunshine Coast airport is directly inside the terminal building! You will find us just outside arrivals and baggage claim, with our bright orange banners ready to greet you! Many of our hire cars are kept on-site, so you’ll be able to continue your onward journey shortly.
Sunshine Coast airport is an easy to access branch, even if you arrive in the Sunshine Coast by other means of transport or are a local to the area. The airport is just a 6 minute drive from the Sunshine Coast centre.
Our car hire kiosk at Sunshine Coast airport is open early from 7:30am, ideal for tradies or locals looking to get a jump on the day, or those arriving on early morning flights. Our kiosk is open until late and timed to suit typical flight departures, so you don’t have to waste a single minute of your time on the Sunshine Coast. We can facilitate out of hours drop-offs, or you can return your hire car to another branch, such as Brisbane Airport, Coolangatta or another city destination.
Driving From Sunshine Coast Airport
Reserving a hire car at Sunshine Coast airport with SIXT means you’ll be out on the road and onto your next destination as quickly as possible. Our service is designed to take you from the plane to your own, private car without delay. It also means you can avoid the hassle of trying to navigate public transport into the town and onwards from there.
For those staying in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, you will simply exit the airport and head south on the Sunshine Motorway, across the Maroochy River and into the town centre. Most hotels and accommodations can be found closer to the water along Alexandra Parade or nearby.
If you’re heading straight up to Noosa, you’ll want to pick up the same Sunshine Motorway and head north for about 20 - 25 kilometres, depending on where you are staying. Noosa is just a 35 minute drive from Sunshine Coast airport. If you’re planning to get some kilometres under your belt before you stop for the day, Brisbane CBD is 90 inutes away, and the Gold Coast is approximate 2 hours 15 (depending on traffic). Planning a longer journey? Reserve a GPS system at the time of booking as an optional extra to come with your car. That way you don’t have to rely on phone signal to find your way.
