| 10 Money Saving Tips For Cheap Car Hire in Australia Cheap
car hire may be obtained by sticking to the
following guidelines.
1. Book your Australia car
hire well in advance as the earlier you book
it, the more likely you will get a cheap Australia
car hire deal.
2. If you travel at off peak
times of the year, you're likely to be quoted
a cheaper rate as there is far less demand for
cars at this time.
3. When you book your car
hire you'll get a booking voucher stating the
pick up point of your car hire and the car hire
desk office hours. If you need to pick up the
car hire outside the office hours, you might
incur an additional 'out of office hours' fee,
so it might be just cheaper to collect it the
next day.
4. Booking your car hire will
save you time and money - so watch out for special
discounts and 'price drop alerts' that we offer
from time to time. Plus it's usually better
value to book car hire for a long period of
time, to say, a few days, especially in the
off-peak season.
5. Another way to get a cheap
car hire quote is to opt for a mini or economy
car, as the smaller the car the less expensive
it will be. Smaller cars will also cost you
less in petrol and are ideal for the winding
narrow Australian roads.
6. Planning your car rental
is crucial to getting a cheap deal. Like for
example, what time are you arriving at Australia
airport? If early in the morning, then it's
a good idea to collect your car hire at the
airport. If it's late, you could get a taxi
to your accommodation and pick up your car hire
in the morning either in the city or at the
airport.
7. If you exceed 24 hours
with your drop off time then you'll incur an
extra days rental cost. For example if you pick
up a car at 10am and return it at 11am the following
day it will cost you 2 days car rental as you've
exceeded 24hrs so it's counted as 2 days car
rental.
8. Choose a car hire that
meets your needs. If you have a family in tow
and lots of luggage then you'll need extra space.
But if it's only a car for two people and you're
not going to be doing that much travelling then
pick a smaller car hire. Only get additional
features like GPS if you really need them.
9. If you pick up your car
hire at the airport and return it to the same
location, then you'll avoid paying a one-way
fee.
10. Watch out for hidden
fees like taxes and surcharges, when looking
for car hire.
