Absolutely! Here’s a review you could post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Cruise Port Car Rental for Exploring Hilo We rented a car during our cruise stop in Hilo, and the entire experience was incredibly easy. The rental location was just a short walk from the cruise port, conveniently located across from the general store, making pickup and drop-off simple and stress-free. The car was clean, reliable, and perfect for exploring the island. We spent the day driving through the lush scenery of the Big Island and visiting the breathtaking Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Having our own vehicle gave us the freedom to stop whenever we wanted for photos, scenic overlooks, and local attractions. If you’re arriving by cruise ship and want to make the most of your time in Hilo, I highly recommend renting a car here. It was one of the highlights of our trip and allowed us to experience so much more of the island than we could have otherwise. We would definitely rent from them again on our next visit! 🌋🚗 A fantastic way to see the Big Island in just one day!

I will break my car rental experience (November, 2025) into 3 parts: Turo, car provider and vehicle. Turo. First time to use this app. Overall, simple and intuitive to use. It is a good option when compared to the traditional car rental companies. It was really nice not having to wait at the service rental counter. Car provider. Once you finish with the Turo process, you finalize all the details with the car owner. Daniel was exceptional to work with. He was timely and thorough with his responses to all my inquiries. Our flight arrived earlier than scheduled. I contacted Daniel and he had the car immediately available for my use. He was honest and trustworthy. At the end of the trip, I identified what I thought was a new chip in the paint. He reported it was present before the rental and not an issue. There is comfort in knowing there was no hidden agenda. Vehicle, Toyota Corolla, 2015. Don't let the age or size of the car deter you. The car was clean, dependable and satisfied all of my needs for 2 people. Hawaii may be dramatic with its natural wonders, but it is stingy with the parking spaces and roads (think road to Hana and Haleakala Volcano). We were happy to be driving this car instead of the SUVs and Jeeps that populated the parking lots and narrow, twisting roads. Overall, I would recommend Turo and HIGHLY recommend Daniel and his Toyota Corolla for your car rental needs in Maui.

David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)

The car did everything we needed it to do. We felt like a local, the car was certainly clean for the price. I would rent again because the price was right and it was great on gas.

Top tips for hiring a car in Goulburn


Before hitting the roads of Goulburn in your new ride, take a moment to familiarise yourself with the rules and driving conditions.


Goulburn road rules and driving conditions


In Goulburn, like the rest of Australia and New South Wales, you drive on the left hand side of the road and you'll need to obey the posted speed limits. Typically, urban areas have a speed limit of 50 km/h, while highways may vary, and the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05.

When driving at night, exercise caution, using high beams when you can, especially in rural areas where visibility can be limited. Be cautious of wildlife, especially at dawn and dusk when kangaroos and other animals are more likely to be active. After all, Goulburn is surrounded by national parks.

Goulburn's roads are generally well-maintained, but throughout the seasons, Goulburn can experience diverse weather conditions. So it's always best to check weather forecasts and road conditions before setting off. Be aware of potential flood-prone areas, especially during heavy rainfall. Carry essentials like water, snacks, and a first aid kit, particularly if you're planning to drive in more rural areas.


Goulburn's rush hour and busiest roads


Like any city, Goulburn experiences peak traffic during typical commuting hours, but it's generally less congested than major cities.

The major route to Goulburn from Sydney is the M5 Motorway and Hume Highway. From Canberra, it's the Federal Highway. You can expect increased traffic on these roads around peak times.

Are there toll roads in Goulburn?


Goulburn itself does not have toll roads, helping to make your trip a little cheaper. But if travelling from Sydney, there may be tolls you have to pay on toll roads like the M5 Motorway.

Parking in Goulburn


Parking in Goulburn is generally accessible. Popular areas such as the central business district offer both street and designated parking spaces.

Two popular spots include Goulburn Station Parking and Goulburn Square, where you'll find free parking for over 400 shoppers.

Petrol stations and EV chargers in Goulburn


Fuelling up your petrol or electric vehicle is hassle-free in Goulburn, with plenty of options to choose from.

Petrol stations
On the north end of town, towards Sydney, is Goulburn Gateway Service Station, on the south side towards Canberra is EG Ampol Goulburn South. In the centre, there are plenty more places to fuel up. Including:

- BP, 70 Clifford Street
- EG Ampol, 12 Verner Street
- Ampol Foodary, 68 Goldsmith Street

EV chargers
If you need to charge your electric vehicle, there are a couple of spots in town with attractions close by to keep you busy while you wait.

- Tesla Supercharger, 201 Sloane Street. Next door is The Goulburn Visitor Information Centre and it's one block from the main street with a park in between.

- Chargefox Charging Station, 53 Sydney Road. If you're in need of a bite to eat, a McDonald's is just across the road.

Do I need to hire a car in Goulburn?


If you want to explore the inland city at your own pace, then hiring a car in Goulburn is a wise choice. It's an easy city to drive around, plus you'll be able to make day trips to attractions in the surrounding areas.

Goulburn's proximity to the Southern Highlands puts charming towns like Bowral and Mittagong within easy reach, and there are a few national parks closer by. With a car, you'll have easy access to outdoor activities and natural beauty, as well as the city.

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.
