Albury Car Hire

Settled by squatters in the 1800s, Albury was built on a site where the Murray River was most easily crossable. Apart from the favourable shallow waters allowing the crossing of the river, the lands surrounding the area were fertile and excellent for farming, leading in a slow but steady increase in the town’s population.

With a rich history, unique local cuisine and a modern network of roads connecting the city to surrounding destinations, Albury is an ideal place to spend a weekend away from big city life, relax in the outdoors and tour the surroundings with your rental car.

With vast spaces of nature and undeveloped landscapes in the area, spending some time in the outdoors enjoying the scenery and fresh air are is a must. Park your rental car near the shores of the Murray River for a day of fishing or boating, or maybe just stop on the banks for a picnic. For adventurous travellers, Mount Buffalo and Falls Creek can be reached after a scenic drive to the east. Jump in your Albury Car Hire and head up to the mountains, where you can go skiing and snowboarding in winter, or hiking and bushwalking during the warmer times of the year. With the great outdoors at your doorstep and your Albury car rental giving you the freedom to get around and see it all, your time in Albury will be the perfect getaway from the grind of city life.
