About Aurovia
A local Australian car hire company built on trust, quality vehicles and straight-up customer service.
Who We Are
Aurovia is an independent vehicle hire company operating from the Illawarra region of New South Wales. We provide cars, SUVs, utes and premium vehicles to locals, tourists and business travellers who need reliable transport without the usual rental runaround. Our focus is simple: clean cars, clear prices and people who answer the phone. We inspect and sanitise every vehicle between hires, keep our fleet up to date, and make sure every customer understands the full cost before they sign.
Our Story
The company was started in 2014 by Elias V. Thornton, who spent years working in fleet management and saw how frustrated customers became with opaque fees and tired vehicles. He launched Aurovia from a single office in Horsley with a small but carefully selected range of cars and a commitment to honest service.
What began as a side-yard operation has grown into a trusted local name with more than 150 vehicles, a strong repeat-customer base and a reputation for being there when people need help. Elias still oversees day-to-day operations and personally reviews customer feedback every week, ensuring the company never loses the personal touch that made it successful.
