Cheap car hire Katherine airport Australia (KTR) from compare car rentals

    Unlike other regional airports, Katherine Airport does not handle commercial carriers for passenger transport. Getting to Katherine by air must be made through a charter service. Katherine Airport is still capable of servicing larger aircraft but chartered flights are the only available service from the airport to date. Car hire at Katherine Airport is on offer just outside the terminal.

    Katherine Airport is located about 17kms south of the town centre, which is only 320kms from Darwin. Because Katherine is only a short drive from Darwin via car, bus or train, flying to this enchanting town is not the most common travel option.

    Katherine Airport shares the airport with the Tinsdale Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), and has done so since the early 1990s. The terminal layout is relatively basic, with a seating area, restrooms, an information counter and cheap car hire at Katherine Airport available for passengers. Currently, the airport is open 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week.

    Katherine Airport is situated on the Stuart Highway, one of the Northern Territory’s most expansive roads. From the terminal, car rental at Katherine Airport provides a speedy getaway option, especially if travelling beyond Katherine, and into the surrounding National Parks and small townships.

    Nevertheless, there are so many attractions near Katherine, just waiting to enthrall visitors, which can be accessed with cheap car hire at Katherine Airport. Some of these include the Nitmiluk National Park, Cutta Cutta Caves National Park, Springvale Homestead, and Katherine Gorge. Australia’s ‘never never’ region is always full of surprises.
