Car Hire Hervey Bay

With calm clear waters, an abundance of wildlife, and easy access to several islands, Hervey Bay is a city constantly growing in popularity and size. Situated on a Queensland coastline bordering 40km of pristine beaches, Hervey Bay is becoming a favourite destination for holidaymakers and those feeling the need for a sea change. The perfect place to hire a car and explore the coast, the area has attractions that will be enjoyed by all ages.

Whether you enjoy fishing, swimming or simply relaxing in the shade, your car hire is the ultimate way to get around Hervey Bay and the surrounding area to find your own little slice of paradise in Australia. A must see part of the city is Urangan Pier, just east of Torquay. Park your hire car in Pier st, and down onto the pier itself. Stretching at approximately 1km in length, it is one of the longest piers in the country, and very popular with locals and tourists alike. Here you will find an excellent place for a spot of fishing, or on hot summers days join the locals jumping off the pylons into the water to cool off.

Right near Urangan Pier, you can catch a ferry over to Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. Here you will find forests as well as magnificent lakes all on an island entirely formed out of sand. Many of the lakes on the island are freshwater and contain some of the cleanest water in the world. While on the island, make sure to check out the famous shipwreck of the Maheno, which has been resting on the beach for over 70 years. Also take a walk up to the lookout at Indian Head, where you will get a great view of the island. Keep an eye out for sharks which can often be seen swimming in the surf.

Once back on the mainland, for those interested in the history of the area, drive your hire car out to Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum, which features historic buildings and artefacts telling the story of Hervey Bay and the development of the area.
