How do I pick up a rental car at Canberra Airport?

Canberra Airport (CBR) operates out of a single terminal building, which handles domestic and international flights. See below for clear instructions on how to find Canberra Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car at each terminal.

  • Where are the rental company desks at Canberra Airport?

    On airport
    Once you receive your luggage from the carousel, use the main front door to exit the area and you will find the car hire desks located just outside the main terminal entrance, on the ground floor.
  • Finalise your rental agreement and collect keys

    Once you are at the hire car company desk, you’ll need to finalise your rental agreement and collect your vehicle keys.
  • Head to the designated car park to pick up your car

    On airport
    The on-airport rental cars located a short distance away, directly behind the hire car desks. Don’t forget to pick up your keys from the hire car desk before heading to your hire car.
  • What should I do if the desk is unattended?

    Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.

    If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.

    If you still have no luck with making contact, call us at 1300 722 920 and consider heading to the parking area and look for uniformed staff. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned rental desks, but rest assured there’s usually help out in the car park where the rentals are located.

    We'll be right back
