Saving Tips
- Dodge airport fees. Picking up your car in a suburban spot like Caboolture can be cheaper than at Brisbane Airport. You'll skip the airport surcharge, which can be a nice saving.
- Think about your timing. Booking way ahead is key for peak times like the summer school holidays. For the rest of the year, you can often find good deals booking just a few weeks out.
- Check weekly rates. Sometimes booking for a full 7 days is cheaper than for 5 or 6. It's a weird quirk of rental pricing, so it's always worth checking.
- Don't get stung on fuel. Grab a discount docket from a local supermarket like Coles or Woolies. And always fill the tank yourself before you drop the car back to avoid higher charges.
- A smaller car is usually fine. Unless you're packing a ton of gear, a compact car is perfect for the local roads and will save you money on the rental and on fuel.
