Apollo Policy on Child Restraints

The safety of our customers is of the utmost importance to Apollo. Therefore we have developed a best practice approach to Child Restraints. We aim for the best safety (not just recommended levels) for our clients' children.

Following this page is a table which indicates the type and number of Child Restraints that can be fitted to our vehicles. Clients can rent Child Restraints (must be pre-booked) from Apollo for $20 per rental. It is the client's responsibility to fit them (our branch staff are legally unable to fit them or advise on how they should be fitted) to the vehicle and we recommend the following guidelines below.

Child Restraints from overseas will not conform to the stringent standards required in Australia and New Zealand. We therefore strongly recommend overseas renters not to bring their own Child Seats as they will not be allowed to use them in Apollo vehicles. For rentals in Australia we advise that clients should travel to and from our branches via taxi. If clients have children that require a Child Restraint then we strongly recommend they order a taxi with appropriate Child Restraints to meet their requirements. Our policy has been formulated to give your clients the best protection possible.

Options per table column are not combinable.
