Can businesses rent vehicles for six months?

Potentially, yes. A six-month requirement should be quoted as a long-term business rental with the drivers, use, vehicle class, payment and extension terms agreed in advance.

Rental is especially useful when the business timeline is real but not permanent, such as a project, new role, fleet delay or temporary Sydney assignment.

Which CarNet vehicle suits my booking?

CarNet currently offers an MG3 hatchback, Haval Jolion, Mitsubishi Outlander and KIA Carnival. Choose according to passenger count, luggage, parking needs and the intended use.

  • MG3: compact five-seat hatchback.
  • Haval Jolion: flexible five-seat SUV.
  • Mitsubishi Outlander: seven-seat option.
  • KIA Carnival: eight-seat people mover.

Can P-platers rent a vehicle from CarNet?

No. CarNet’s current published rental information states that provisional P-plate drivers are not permitted.

The published conditions also state a minimum driver age of 23 and require the driver to have held a licence for at least three years. All drivers must be identified or approved under the rental agreement.

Can tourists rent a car in Australia?

Tourists can often rent in Australia when they hold an acceptable current licence and meet the rental company’s age, experience, identification and payment requirements. CarNet should confirm the documents for each overseas licence before the booking.

  1. Send the licence country, language and expiry date before arrival.
  2. Ask whether an English translation or International Driving Permit is required.
  3. Confirm the driver meets CarNet’s age and licence-history requirements.
  4. Check the permitted travel area and rental terms.

  • Driver age, licence history and every authorised driver.
  • Private or business use and any restricted activity.
  • Vehicle seats, luggage and equipment capacity.
  • Dates, delivery address and travel area.
