Frequently asked questions

On hiring a car at Sandakan Airport

  • Why are there no hire cars at Sandakan Airport at certain times of the year?

    Our data shows that Sandakan Airport, along with other isolated cities in Australia, book out of rental cars during peak seasons (i.e., school holidays and major city events) because of the limited amount of rental cars available by providers in the area. We recommend always booking well in advance for this location.

  • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental at Sandakan Airport?

    The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available at Sandakan Airport may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
