Cheap car hire Ballina from compare car rentals

    Ballina is the next coastal town down from Byron Bay in northern New South Wales. It is known for its fishing and swimming and is easily explored by cheap car hire at Ballina. The surfing beaches are the main draw to Ballina and it is a lot quieter than nearby Byron Bay and the Gold Coast proper.

    Ballina is especially renowned for its Big Prawn; a huge prawn on the side of the road, while in town is a host of cafés, restaurants and country pubs. There are also many museums and galleries in town for arty types, along with some good shops and lots to do for the kids.

    The main street is easily negotiated by car hire in Ballina and comes with lots of old and odd buildings to discern. The waterfront is also a pleasant area to be and there are many hotels, motels and caravan parks in and around town. For activities, surfing, wake-boarding, parasailing, fishing, and whale watching are all popular pastimes.

    With car rental in Ballina, you can easily explore the hinterland, which features pretty countryside and the old towns of Tintenbar, Teven, and Knockrow. A drive to Lennox Head by cheap car hire at Ballina is a must for ardent surfers, while Byron Bay is only a few more miles to the north and is one of the coolest places in Australia.

    You can get in by car hire at Ballina Airport, or fly to Brisbane and drive down. Driving the route along the Pacific Highway from Sydney takes a day or more.
