Frequently Asked Questions - Your questions answered

What age restrictions apply when hiring a Rolo vehicle?
The minimum age to hire is 21. Drivers 21 – 24 are restricted to drive only small to intermediate size cars and incur a $10 per day surcharge. Drivers 21 – 24 are not permitted to drive 12 seater or 8 seater minivans and certain commercial vehicles.

AIRPORT SERVICE? Is the Rolo car at the Airport when an Airport location is requested?
Yes it is. As Rolo is Airport licensed at most airport locations, your Rolo vehicle is conveniently located at the airport on arrival, and simply returned direct to the airport on return of the vehicle.

Do I require a Credit Card to hire a car?
Yes you must provide a valid credit card to hire a Rolo vehicle. The credit card must be in the primary hirers name with his/her signature on the back and name printed on the front. The credit card provider must also present his/her drivers license for adequate id.

Who can drive the car and extra drivers?
You cannot drive unless your name is presented on the vehicle rental agreement, or you have advised Rolo staff that an additional driver needs to be added.

Additional drivers are not charged on standard size cars or wagons (except Tarago), however, due to insurance policies we must charge $2.20 per day per additional driver on Minibuses, 8 Seaters, Commercial Vehicles and Trucks.

If you have not presented the drivers license details at collection of vehicle, you are able to phone through the drivers license details.

Extra kilometres are charged at 25c/km thereafter. As a guide - Brisbane - Gold Coast = 80km. Brisbane - Sunshine Coast = 100km. Brisbane - Sydney = 990km. Sydney - Coffs Harbour = 490km. Sydney - Melbourne = 1100km
