Rental Qualifications and Requirements

Hertz have taken great care in selecting the three types of child seats that are offered.

*A maximum of 2 Child Seats or 1 Seat and 1 Booster Seat can be fitted to any vehicle*

Infant (Baby) Seats

Hertz can provide you with a baby seat mounted rear-facing to be used for infants who weigh up to 9kg. These seats are designed to support a child’s neck, back and spinal cord.

Child Seats

Hertz can provide you with a child seat mounted face forward for children weighing between 8kg and 18kg. Parents of children who have outgrown infant (baby) car seats are encouraged to use these seats rear-facing until the child reached the upper weight limits of the seat for rear-facing use.

Booster Seats

Hertz can provide you with belt-positioning booster seats to be used in the back seat for children who have outgrown a child seat.  The belt-positioning booster seat must be used in seating positions equipped with lap and shoulder seatbelts. Children weighing up to 25kg should use these seats. 

Infant (Baby), Child and Booster Seats are charged at AUD $22.00 per day (including GST). The maximum charge of AUD $88.00 (including GST) applies to rentals of 4 days or more per 30 days rental.

Please Note

Hertz will install the seats for you (available at selected locations). Although we have secured the seat, it is the renter’s responsibility to check and adjust the mountings, harness / straps / clips, and the suitability of the provided seat in relation to child’s weight, size and age, to ensure that the seat is properly installed and fitted and that the child is firmly and appropriately secured.

Infant (Baby), Child and Booster seats are subject to availability and advanced reservations are required. For more information, visit our Extras section under the ‘Location, Cars and More’ menu.
