Car Rental Lismore

• Compare pickup spots. Grabbing your car in Lismore CBD can help you dodge airport fees, but checking rates at Ballina or Gold Coast airports is smart too, as more competition can mean lower base prices.
• Travel in the off-season if you can. You'll usually find cheaper rates from May to September. If your trip lines up with a big event like the Lantern Parade, book well ahead to avoid price hikes.
• Don't get caught on empty. Petrol stations in the tiny hinterland villages are few and far between. Fill your tank in Lismore before heading out to explore the countryside.
• Watch out for weekend hours. Many Lismore depots have limited hours on Saturday and are closed Sunday. Plan your pickup and drop-off carefully to avoid paying for an extra day you don't need.
