Cheap Hire Car...help please :D

[rep003]

Hello to all Queenslanders from a fellow SAU member .

I'm coming over for a bit of R & R (as much as I can with the missus & 3 kids in tow)

from the 3/11 to the 11/11 on the Gold Coast.

I had a car organised through a friend of a freind who was working in a car yard (Until recently! Doh! )

So now I'm in the manure (tho I'm always in it , its only the depth that varies)

& any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers ,

Troy Rep.

You should be right if you just turn up at most places. My friends have had no trouble finding something. Stay clear of the bigger names (budet, delta, etc), as they are usually quite expensive. You may need a credit card for a security deposit, and you need a licence - but otherwise its pretty easy.

But for around $40 you can get something reasonable for a day.

This may sound bad but Rent a Bomb operates on the coast. Basically they have older cars that are in pretty decent condition. You can get a 4 door for $12 a day.

Here is there web site:

Good luck

Yep, been pretty much summed up so far... Plenty of cheap and dodgy car rental firms here on the coast... Just don't expect a show quality, 1/4 mile storming beast

As pred says, credit card and drivers license are about all you need...

I got pulled up recently for not having held my license for the past 5 years. I was 2 weeks short and was denied the car. turned out i was better off without it...

I assume your older though with three kids.. or you just think $1.00 for a raincoat is far to expensive
