Backpacker Car Rental in Brisbane
Affordable weekly car hire for backpackers in Brisbane. Low bond, unlimited kilometres, international licences accepted.
Budget-friendly weekly car hire with unlimited kilometres. Skip the overpriced campervan and get a reliable car with damage cover instead.
Why Backpackers Choose Lazy Drive
Backpacking around Queensland? A reliable car opens up the entire region — from Brisbane's beaches to the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast hinterland and country towns where the best farm work is.
Most backpackers avoid buying a car because of the hassle: registration transfers, pre-purchase inspections, insurance and the risk of breakdowns in the middle of nowhere. With Lazy Drive, you get a maintained vehicle with damage cover for a simple weekly payment.
Our cars are perfect for getting to farm work, hospitality shifts and weekend road trips. Rent for as long as you need and return when your plans change.
