Most major companies will accept a debit card if it's issued by Visa or Mastercard. You may need to pay a slightly higher security deposit if you use a debit card instead of a credit card. Cash, cheque or other payments usually aren't accepted.
New South Wales drivers can now use digital licences instead of physical ones; however, not all car hire companies currently accept digital driver's licences for pick-ups. Avis, for example, only accepts a digital licence if it is issued by New South Wales, so drivers from other states will need their physical card.

Some Wollongong car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Wollongong.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Wollongong car hire.
