Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is one of Australia\u2019s friendliest cities. There\u2019s so much to explore \u2013 from the great outdoors<\/a> to unusual scenic drives<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a holiday, you don\u2019t want to waste a minute, which is why picking up a car rental at Brisbane Airport<\/a> is an excellent idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of spending time looking for train stations, sitting on buses or waiting for taxi drivers, you\u2019ll be able to travel wherever you like, whenever you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FLY DIRECTLY FROM 32 INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS (AND LOADS OF DOMESTIC ONES)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brisbane is the third busiest airport in Australia (after Sydney and Melbourne). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means it\u2019s incredibly well connected. You can fly directly to and from no fewer than 32 international destinations, from Los Angeles to Bangkok to Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestically, there\u2019s even more choice. Flights go non-stop between Brisbane and Australian destinations small and large, from Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to Alice Springs, Cairns<\/a> and Launceston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAVE A LONGER HOLIDAY IN BRISBANE <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brisbane might be the capital of Queensland, but it\u2019s a long drive from many of Australia\u2019s major towns and cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adelaide is 22 hours by road, Darwin <\/a>is 36 hours and Canberra is 12 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019ve a week or two to spare on a road trip<\/a>, you\u2019ll have a much more relaxing holiday if you fly to Brisbane Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only two hours and 45 minutes by air from Adelaide, four hours from Darwin Airport<\/a> and two hours from Canberra.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GET ON THE ROAD QUICKLY  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiring a car in Brisbane<\/a> is incredibly convenient.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find most vehicle rental providers just a brief walk from where you pick up your luggage in the arrivals area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019re leaving the terminal, follow the signs to rental vehicles, which will lead you across the sky bridge. Then catch the lift to the ground floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIXT is on the eastern side. We\u2019re hard to miss, thanks to our orange signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RENT THE VEHICLE THAT\u2019S RIGHT FOR YOU <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brisbane Airport offers a variety of rental vehicles, ensuring that you\u2019ll be able to find one that\u2019s ideal for you, your travelling companions and your plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIXT, as one of the planet\u2019s biggest car hire businesses, has a particularly extensive and varied fleet. Our collection at Brisbane Airport ranges from standard sedans by Kia to luxury SUVs by Tesla to 4WDs by Mitsubishi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUSTOMISE YOUR RENTAL CAR <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the great things about hiring a car is that you can customise it to suit a particular trip, without breaking the bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SIXT, we\u2019re passionate about providing personalised experiences for our customers, and that includes offering a variety of optional extras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling with children, add a safe, comfortable car seat to your rental. If you could do without the hassle of finding a petrol station on the way back to Brisbane Airport, opt for prepaid fuel. If you want to drive in and around Brisbane confidently, without getting lost, book a GPS unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE THE BEST OF BRISBANE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see all that Brisbane and its surrounds have to offer, you need a car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are bucketloads of beautiful places, but most aren\u2019t well connected by public transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a set of wheels at your fingertips, you can go wherever you like \u2013 from the waterfalls and rainforests of the hinterland to the beaches and islands of the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might even travel further afield, on a road trip to Toowoomba<\/a>, or a day trip to the Scenic Rim<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
