Landing at Brisbane Airport is always an exciting time. After a long two years of border closures, the possibility of a city break with plenty of Queensland sunshine, heat, and adventures is back on the cards.
If one thing is clear, these past two years have been too long. Here at Hertz, we are excited to get our New Zealand friends across the border and explore our Australian cities just like before. Whether it is your first visit or your third, we are so happy that travel has resumed, reunions can happen, and holidays can begin again for everyone.
Brisbane, or “Brisvegas” as it is affectionately known, has never been a more popular destination. With the warm temperatures attracting thousands of visitors each year, the recently opened borders have proven this city to be more frequented than ever before. Make sure to join in on the frivolities with a visit to this fantastic city soon.
Whether you’re in the city for a few days, or this is the first stop on a much-needed holiday, it’s likely you’ll need a rental car to help you get around. With a rental car from Hertz Brisbane Airport, you can do exactly that. Simply pick up your rental car after you’ve landed and getting around won’t be an issue.
Explore Brisbane City in your Rental Car
Brisbane is easy to get around by car. And with something always going on, you’ll never run out of things to do.
There are annual events for every season, with lots of them making their big comeback over the coming years due to a break because of the pandemic. Surely worth a big celebration in itself, these festivals attract thousands of attendees each year, so make sure to book ahead if you’d like a ticket. Such festivals include Brisbane Comedy Festival, Brisbane Festival, Laneway Festival, and Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival.
We know that New Zealand has plenty of scenic spots on every corner, but Brisbane is also home to its own fair share of beauty, namely Mount Coot-tha in Brisbane’s inner west. The lookout here boasts some of the city's best views. Maybe hike up here for a panoramic sunset view, before heading into the inner-city for dinner.
Travel the Sunshine State with Hertz
What makes a city like Brisbane special is its close proximity to everything.
The Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast, the Hinterland, and the New South Wales border are all within a two-hour drive away. This makes Brisbane the perfect city to use as a base for plenty of inter-state exploring while you’re on holiday here.
While New Zealand might be renowned for its rocky and rugged landscapes, Queensland is iconic for the white sandy beaches and blue ocean waters that line the coast. It’s simply beautiful and vastly different to the landscape you’ll know and love at home. Make the most of it while you’re here, and visit the best of the best in the state. From Surfers Paradise to Noosa, Stradbroke Island, and beyond – nothing is too out of reach thanks to your Hertz rental car.
We are so excited that the borders are open and holidays can resume between Australia and New Zealand. Whether you’re flying in for a reunion, that all-important first trip abroad, or simply to experience an international flight again, we hope you have a fantastic time exploring Brisbane and the surrounding landscape. Have a safe flight and we will welcome you here soon, at Hertz Brisbane Airport.
