Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY)?
You certainly can. Once you get to Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY), you'll find the rental car centre located in the arrivals hall adjacent to baggage collection. Make a booking with Enterprise, Hertz or Thrifty. Budget and Avis are other suppliers worth taking a look at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Sunshine Beach car reservation?
No need to stress. You should receive a full refund if you let us know more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals qualify for a refund though, so you may want to check your rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Sunshine Beach?
Affordable, easy to handle and great on mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most in-demand type of rental in Sunshine Beach. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Sunshine Beach?
Sunshine Beach has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Rent some wheels and head off to see what's in the surrounding area. We've pulled together these great options:

  • You'll find Warner Bros. Movie World and many other interesting attractions in Gold Coast. From Sunshine Beach, it's 177 kilometres away.
  • Approximately 121 kilometres away, Brisbane is also a favourite with wanderers. Make time to experience Suncorp Stadium while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this vibrant city.
  • Venture into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Kirra Beach. You'll find it around 193 kilometres from Sunshine Beach.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Sunshine Beach with Expedia?

What do you need to rent a car in Sunshine Beach?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sunshine Beach?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Sunshine Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Sunshine Beach supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
