Canberra - Hatchback Hire

Searching for inexpensive cars

Search-form presets - search for available 'economy' and 'compact' cars at the rental location 'Canberra'. Address: Corner Of Northbourne Avenue & Cooyong Street, Canberra, Act 2601, Australia.

You can also select any of the 2 available rental locations in Canberra using the white search form, or change the class of the desired low-cost vehicle to 'Mini' or 'Compact'.

If your budget is limited, it is better to book a car in advance, since rental rates increase with decayed availability of vehicles. Quite often, the cheapest options of golf-class cars in Australia can be found in airports.

Canberra, Australia: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Canberra are: Ford Ka, Chevrolet Matiz, Kia Picanto, Hyundai Accent, Peugeot 207, Suzuki Swift and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Australia vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in Australia are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Canberra, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Canberra!

Previous hints
If there is no urgent need to go to the center of the city by car, it is better to use public transport. This way you will save not only money (parking in the center is always quite expensive), but also your time that you would certainly have wasted searching for a free parking space.
Drivers, who plan to use car parking areas equipped with ticket machines, should get enough coins in small denominations in advance - ticket machines do not give change. It is also worth considering that the maximum parking time in many parking areas is limited, so it is important to keep track of time.
The situations, when ticket machines break down in local parking areas and it is not possible to use them to pay for services, are not rare. In this case you need to park the car and immediately call the number indicated on the sign to inform the operator about the breakdown. In such situations, the rights of drivers are never violated, and if a parking lot has free spaces, it is permitted to leave cars.

Sightseeing of Canberra, Australia
Roasted barracuda is a typical everyday dish for local people. It is available in the menus of restaurants of a different level. Kangaroo steak is a more original local specialty. As a rule, it is served with mushrooms. Chicken is also very popular in the national cuisine. Most often, chicken is roasted and served with roasted eggplants.
Fried opossum filet is a very interesting dish. Many foodies head to local restaurants with one purpose – to try roasted crocodile meat. The most curious gourmets can even visit special crocodile farms that breed these animals for food purposes. High-class restaurants often offer even a more unusual delicacy – shark lips cooked in a peculiar way.

Travelers who are not ready for such gastronomic experiments should try dishes with rabbit meat or pickled beef filet. Many restaurants in Canberra offer meat and some fish dishes cooked on coals. Thanks to this cooking method, the ready dishes have a special taste. A true surprise waits for fans of seafood in local restaurants. Visitors can choose from crabs, scallops, oysters, octopuses, and rare types of fish that are not available in other regions of the world.

Local people have inherited the traditions of cooking many dishes with seafood from Asian countries. That is why tourists shouldn’t be surprised to get their seafood served together with noodles or hot sauces. The iconic fish'n'chips from the United Kingdom is widely popular in Canberra. Small pieces of fish fried in a soft dough and served with roasted potatoes are available in local restaurants and small outdoor food carts. For dessert, local restaurants specializing in national cuisine usually offer all kinds of sweet pies, puddings, ice cream, and fruit salads.
