What are the rental requirements for a ute?
To hire a ute from Brisbane Airport, you’ll need:
- A full, valid driver’s licence. International visitors must also provide a certified English translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP) and their passport.
- A credit card is required for payment at pickup.
Do I need a special license to drive a ute?
No special licence is needed unless the vehicle exceeds this weight or is used for specific commercial tasks. Most standard utes under 4.5 tonnes can be driven with a regular car licence (Class C).
Local rules may also apply for towing, off-road driving or heavy loads, so it’s worth reviewing the guidelines at our Brisbane Airport location before booking.

Still weighing your options? Our FAQs cover the details.
Can I take my hired ute outside Brisbane, or return it at a different location?

Just let us know your route during booking so we can confirm coverage and roadside assistance along the way. Longer distances? No worries, we’ve got you covered.
How much can I load into a hired ute?
Our utes are built to handle your Brisbane jobs. With generous tray space and high payload capacity, they’re ideal for moving tools, materials or furniture. From South Bank setups to tradie work in Logan, rest easy knowing you’ve got a vehicle that’s up to the task, without the cost of a truck.
Can I drive a hired ute on unsealed roads around Brisbane?
Yes, you can drive a hired ute on unsealed roads if the vehicle is approved for commercial or industrial site use. However, you must operate it safely and legally, only for its intended purpose and ensure all drivers are properly instructed.
The ute must be returned in the same condition as the rental start, accounting for normal wear and tear. Additionally, you must secure loads correctly, avoid driving under the influence and take care when handling and parkling the ute.
Do your utes have tow bars for trailers or equipment?
Most of our Brisbane ute fleet comes equipped with tow bars, ideal for hauling trailers, small boats or work gear. If you need a tow-ready ute, just mention it during booking or select that option online. We’ll make sure you’re set up for the job, whether you’re towing down to the Gold Coast or out to Toowoomba.
