What you need to hire.
Who can hire, what to bring, and how the ID check works.
Who can hire.
Aged 21 to 75.
One price at every age. Under 25 pays a higher insurance excess only, $3,000 instead of $2,000, or $1,500 instead of $800 with Excess Reduction. The weekly rate is the same.
A full licence.
Learner and provisional licences can't hire.
An overseas licence is welcome.
If it isn't in English, bring a valid International Driving Permit or a certified English translation as well.
A passport, on a licence from outside Australia.
If your licence was issued outside Australia, we need your passport too.
What to bring.
Five things, and two of them only apply to an overseas licence.
Your driver's licence.
Australian or overseas, and a full licence.
IDP or English translation.
Only if your licence isn't in English.
Your passport.
Only if your licence is from outside Australia.
Proof of address.
A recent bill, a bank statement or your accommodation lease: anything official with your name and current address on it.
A credit or debit card.
Visa, Mastercard or American Express. It pays the first week and the $400 bond when you book, and the bond goes back to the same card about 2 weeks after return, less any outstanding tolls or charges.
The ID check
Done on your phone, before pickup.
It happens inside the booking, after you've picked the car. Nothing to print and nothing to post.
- ✓A photo of your licence and a selfie, done on your phone. It takes a couple of minutes.
- ✓On a licence from outside Australia, a photo of your passport as well.
- ✓Cam checks it and rings before pickup.
Additional drivers.
Free, and approved by Savvy before they drive.
- Additional drivers are free.
- Each one needs what you need: aged 21 to 75, a full licence, a passport on a licence from outside Australia, and an IDP or certified English translation if the licence isn't in English.
- Add their details and licence on your booking page. Savvy approves them before they drive, so do it before the day they need the car.
