Charges

Fuel

All vehicles are supplied with a full tank of fuel. The vehicles must either be returned with a full tank of fuel or the renter will be charged the cost of refilling the tank. All other fuel costs are the renters responsibility.

Government Stamp Duty & Administration Fee

The total charge for hire of the vehicle and excess kilometres are subject to Government Stamp Duty and administration fees currently 3.3%. Any other government charges or taxes that are applicable are to be incurred by the renter.

Kilometre Allowance

Excess kilometres are charged at:
Conventional Vehicles - 27.5 cents per kilometre
Four Wheel Drives + Commercial Vehicles - 30.8 cents per kilometre
People Movers - 33 cents per kilometre

Vehicle Registration Recovery Fee-VRR

A daily charge of $5.50 will be applied to all rentals, that start in the Northern Territory and $3.50 will be applied to all rentals that start in Western Australia as Vehicle Registration recovery fee. This fee partly reimburses Thrifty for registration and 3rd party insurance.

Premium Location Surcharge

For all vehicles collected from Darwin Airport, Alice Springs Airport, Ayers Rock City and Airport, there is a 12.21% surcharge on top of the daily rental rates and excess kilometres. From Tennant Creek there is a 11.5% surcharge. From Broome there is a 4.5% surcharge. This is a surcharge on our rates and charges which reflects the higher costs of service at these locations. It applies to all customers and rentals.
