The Thrifty address is incorrect

The Thrifty address is incorrect on 121carhire site. We had to track it down when we got to Campbelltown. Not near train station so with 2 large suitcases it was a pain... We managed to get a lift but please change it for the sake of others.

The nearest airport to Northern Australia's fourth-biggest community is actually an Australian Air Force base. Katherine Airport lies just over 10 miles south of Katherine with car hire in Katherine Airport. Although Tindal Air Force Base offers no commercial flights, its Aboriginal Air Services and Katherine Aviation charter flights are popular among locals as the closest commercial airport lies nearly 200 miles away, in Darwin.

Katherine Airport facilities

Six different Air Force units are currently housed at Tindal Air Force Base, where nearly 25 per cent of Katherine's population works. The base supports local sports teams and provides locals with flood relief when necessary. All civilian visitors must wear a visitor's pass and sign in prior to entering. The neighboring Tindal Moonlit Cinema screens films each weekend night during Katherine's dry season.

Katherine Airport excursions

Katherine is the gateway to some of the Northern Territory's most remote natural scenery. The town's namesake gorge is just one of 13 located in Nitmiluk National Park, for which car rental in Katherine Airport can be used to reach in just 30 minutes. An unusual cave system and tropical woodland walk are the lesser known Cutta Cutta Caves National Park's highlights. Palm forests fringe Mataranka Hot Springs, 60 minutes' drive southeast of Katherine.

Best time to visit

Katherine is especially vulnerable to cyclones and flooding during its wet season, which begins in April and lasts until November. The weeks just before the wet season are punctuated by some of Australia's most dramatic lightning storms. Hail is not unheard of during cold temperatures here. Katherine's dry season lasts between December and March.

Guests will soon discover it is easier to compare car hire and pick up a vehicle on arrival than to explore by any other means of transportation in this isolated community at the Savannah Way's crossroads. Motorists who rent vehicles in Darwin should be aware of any mileage restrictions. Many roads are vulnerable to flooding during Katherine's wet season, when some routes close altogether.

Is 121CarHire.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
