Why do I need a hire car in Byron Bay?
Hiring your own car is the best way to travel around Byron Bay and the surrounding Northern Rivers. Everyone here cycles, walks or drives as public transport is very limited and while you can reach many beautiful places on foot, if the full Byron Bay experience is what you want… Byron Bay Rent-A-Car is what you need.
Enjoy all that Byron Bay has to offer
Byron Bay has a lot more to offer than just the town itself. Rent a car and explore neighbouring towns like Lennox Head, Brunswick Heads, Iluka, Bangalow and Nimbin, explore the picturesque hinterland, dine at iconic local cafés and restaurants, chill out by a waterfall, chase epic surf breaks and hike through the region’s spectacular national parks.
