Car Rental Darwin International Airport (DRW)

• Look beyond the terminal. Off-airport rentals are just a short, free shuttle ride away and can be much cheaper because they don't have to pay airport fees.
• Play the seasons. Booking ahead is smart for Darwin’s busy Dry Season (May to October). But for the quieter Wet Season (November to April), you can often find great last-minute deals.
• Skip the expensive add-ons. Use a map app on your phone instead of renting a GPS, and it's almost always cheaper to fill the tank yourself before returning the car.
• Think about your drop-off location. Picking up your car at the airport but returning it to an office in the city can sometimes save you a few dollars on fees.
