Car Rental Katherine

• Travel in the wet season (Nov-Mar) for the best deals. If you're hitting Katherine during the peak dry season (Jun-Aug), you absolutely have to book months ahead to dodge the high prices.
• Picking up your car in Katherine town is usually cheaper than getting it at the airport or train station. A short walk or taxi ride could save you a decent chunk of change.
• You don't need a giant gas-guzzler. A standard 2WD car or small SUV is perfect for all the main sights like Nitmiluk Gorge and will save you cash on the rental and at the fuel pump.
• Driving between Katherine and Darwin? Compare the cost of a one-way rental against booking two separate cars. Sometimes the one-way option wins, even with the drop-off fee.
• Keep an eye on the fine print. Many Katherine rentals come with limited daily kilometres, so if you're planning big drives, find a deal with more kms included to avoid surprise charges.
