Toyota HiLux

The Toyota HiLux is one of Brisbane's most popular pickup trucks, known for its reliable handling and spacious storage design. There are five HiLux variants available in the market today, serving different purposes and at varying price points. For example, the WorkMate is an entry-level vehicle, while the Rogue is a more premium and lifestyle-oriented ute. Luckily, you can hire and try out these different variants of the reliable Toyota HiLux, depending on what you need the vehicle for. For short distances, an entry-level WorkMate may be more suitable, while long trips on the road with a number of passengers may be better experienced in a Rogue or GR-Sport.

Ford Ranger

Another popular ute or pickup truck in Brisbane is the Ford Ranger. Best known for its high-quality interior and impressive power, the Ford Ranger is a great comfortable vehicle for the everyday. It's perfect for families as well as local Brisbane drivers who want a bit more trunk space. Like the Toyota HiLux, there are several variants of the Ford Ranger, including the XL, XLS, XLT, and Sport. These models differ slightly in power as well as quality of life features such as rain-sensing wipers and front parking sensors. Your perfect model may depend on the types of features you prefer and your rental budget.

Isuzu D-Max

If you're looking for a market-leading ute with a fresh exterior and powerful engine, the Isuzu D-Max is the option to go for. The Isuzu D-Max is a premium ute made by Isuzu Motors, which specialises in new utes and SUVs. It has a bigger engine than the Toyota HiLux and offers better fuel economy and even adaptive cruise control (depending on the model you select).

Frequently asked questions about renting a ute in Brisbane

Ute hire pickup locations throughout Brisbane 

Whether in Brisbane City, Brisbane West, South or North Brisbane, you can pick up your ute hire at a location convenient for you. Here are a few popular places around Brisbane to arrange delivery of your ute hire, helping you get your Queensland trip on the road sooner.

Popular suburbs in Brisbane

Brisbane's sprawling suburbs, from Brisbane City to Fortitude Valley, are some of the most popular spots to start your adventure in the Sunshine State. When booking through Turo, you can nominate your preferred ute hire pick up and drop off location, including from popular suburbs such as:

- Ipswich: One of Queensland's oldest provincial suburbs best known for its rich history, colonial architecture and cultural heritage. Ipswich is located 30km south-west of Brisbane CBD, boasting a population of around 250,000 people.

- St Lucia: A riverside suburb in Brisbane, St Lucia is home to the University of Queensland, ancient artifact museums and iconic golf clubs. It's just 7.3km south-east of the Brisbane CBD and is a large residential area for university students.

- Toowong: Another suburb situated beside the Brisbane River, Toowong is a trendy young area known for its thriving nightlife, local universities, and charming cafes and restaurants. It's a short drive from Brisbane CBD and, as a result, is one of the busiest suburbs in the city.

- Woolloongabba: Woolloongabba is a suburb around 3km south-east of the Brisbane CBD and is favoured for its bustling dining scene. It's home to established fine dining restaurants as well as local bistros serving Aussie favourites. The suburb also has a wide array of vintage and thrift stores and of course, is home to the Brisbane Cricket Ground (also known as the Gabba).

- Milton: located just on the outskirts of the Brisbane CBD, Milton is a unique suburb in the city named after the Milton House (1854). It's home to outdoor cafes, top state universities, leading medical facilities and a vibrant nightlife.

- Chermside: Situated 9.8km north of Brisbane CBD, Chermside is a suburb known for having the largest Westfield shopping centre in Australia, filled with hundreds of specialty stores and accessible business centres. It's a transit hub that many Brisbanians drive through while making their way around the city.

Ute hire Brisbane Airport

Are you travelling to Brisbane and need a ute immediately upon arrival? Rest assured, you can hire and pick up a ute straight from Brisbane Airport. Chat with your Turo host at the time of booking to nominate your preferred pickup location, such as from the Brisbane Airport terminal car park.

Brisbane hire ute types

Whether you're moving house or trialling out your dream ute, Turo's local hosts offer a stack of different ute types to choose from. From 4x4 utes to utes with roof racks, score the wheels you need to tackle whatever your Brisbane trip has in store.

Dual cab ute hire

Looking for a capable, family-friendly vehicle that can carry substantial loads without a hitch? If so, a dual-cab ute is a great option to consider. Not only do dual cab utes have five seats, but they also have extra room in the back to fit all your luggage and cargo. It’s a great, reliable vehicle for family road trips, especially if you need to bring extra travel essentials such as camping gear, portable barbeques, and folding chairs.

Single cab ute hire

Similar to a dual cab ute, a single cab ute has extra storage space suited for long trips on the road. The one main difference is that it only has two doors and no backseat room for passengers, meaning you can only travel with one other person (or by yourself). Luckily, this isn’t a problem for couples or solo road trips and travels.

4x4 ute hire

If you know you’ll travel on rough trails and unpaved roads, a 4x4 ute is a dependable vehicle to consider hiring. A sturdy vehicle that's capable of driving through Brisbane and Queensland's infamous dirt roads, a 4x4 ute is a reliable choice.

Caged ute hire

A caged ute hire is the perfect choice if your luggage and equipment need extra security. Rather than making multiple trips with a small trunk space, a caged rental ute will ensure you can safely transport all your belongings.

Manual and automatic ute hire

No matter what kind of driving transmission you prefer, expect to find utes and commercial vehicles ready to hire in both manual and automatic. This way, you can drive your ute rental as comfortably as possible.

Brisbane ute hire for any occasion

A ute is a useful vehicle for every occasion. Whether for an IKEA shopping trip, a camping adventure or simply moving a mattress, a ute is the perfect vehicle to get the job done. Available for both long and short term hire, there's a Brisbane ute that can suit any rental period you prefer. Simply book with Turo and enjoy your ute hire hassle-free.

If you're considering purchasing a ute for yourself, it's also a good idea to try out and drive a ute hire before you buy.

What documents do I need to rent a ute in Brisbane with Turo? 

To book a ute on Turo in Brisbane, you must create a Turo account, be 21 years old or older, have a valid driver’s licence, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s licence and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family holiday!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a ute on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo in Brisbane?

When booking a ute in Australia, you’ll also choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection. Legal liability protection protects against damage to other people’s property and death or bodily injury (where the legal liability is not covered or capable of being covered by any statutory or compulsory scheme) as a result of an accident involving the vehicle. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

Yes, many Turo hosts in Brisbane offer discounted prices when you book trips lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days. Additionally, hosts can offer “early bird” discounts for Brisbane trips booked a week or more in advance.

How can I get unlimited kilometre ute hire during my trip in Brisbane?

Some hosts offer ute hire in Brisbane with unlimited KMs; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find utes offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a small cancellation fee.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced safety measures and cleaning practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

Is Turo a car rental company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

Can you hire a ute on your Ps in Brisbane? 

No, you must have your full car license to hire a ute in Brisbane with Turo.

Do I need an international driving permit to drive in Brisbane?

If you're a tourist or visiting from overseas, you're allowed to drive using your foreign licence for up to six months, as long as you meet these conditions:

- Maintain your status as a temporary overseas visitor.
- Hold a valid international licence.
- Have no history of driving disqualifications in QLD or any other location.
- Haven't faced licence suspension, cancellation, or withdrawal of driving privileges.

It's also advisable that you keep your foreign driver's or rider's licence on hand while driving in Brisbane and greater Queensland.
