You’ll find Mackay car hire convenient with SIXT. Our branch is prominently located in the centre of the neighbourhood, so you can reach us easily using public transport. You’ll be right on Australia’s east coast near the Great Barrier Reef, so the focus is on outdoor activities. We have SUVs and MPVs that really lend themselves to this lifestyle, or you can hire an economy or compact model if you just need a run-around in the town. We also have saloons and sport models, perfect for coastal cruising. If you need child seats or a sat nav unit, we offer them as bookable extras.
You’ll find the main SIXT branch in Mackay at Longwall Place, which is close to one of the largest parking areas in the town. If you’re coming from the centre of town, public transport is available in the form of a No. 303 bus that will take you right there. If someone is dropping you off, drive east along Archibald Street, then take Central Park Drive to Longwall Plc. Our bright orange office is easy to spot. After you hire a car in Mackay and it’s time to leave, you can return the vehicle to the same place during office hours, and during extended hours on bank holidays.
The Bluewater Lagoon is a free public resort in the centre of Mackay, set on the Pioneer River. It has water slides and a cafe where you can get snacks and drinks. Another main attraction is the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens, with its collection of rare indigenous tropical plants. There’s also the Mackay Orchid House. To explore the rest of the natural features in the area you can walk the Bluewater Trail, visiting six art installations on the way. For more local art, go to Artspace Mackay.
