East Coast Car Rentals Go To Site

Best value especially 4 days or more with unlimited km’s

East Coast Car Rentals have excellent deals across a broad range of sizes from the smallest manual hatchbacks to vans. They have primarily operated in Queensland where they also offer great prices but have recently expanded their operations into Melbourne. If you are looking to hire for 4 days or more, they are hard to beat. All rentals have a basic excess liability of A$3000 which you can opt to lower.

Bargain Wheels Go To Site

Value deals for hires 3 days and shorter

Bargain Wheels is a comparison site displaying rates from a number of independent companies. They are worth checking for any rentals 3 days or under in which case you should look out for deals from A1 Car Rentals and East Coast Car Rentals where booking via Bargain Wheels can result in lower prices than booking with either directly (although with A1, only 200km/day will be included as opposed to unlimited).

Do take the time to read the Supplier and Rental information provided to ensure you fully understand the terms, conditions and inclusions of the company you are interested to rent from.

A1 Car Rental Go To Site

Value for Economy, Mid-size, Standard, Family and Wagon, 3 days or shorter

A1 Car Rental offers one of the lowest prices for car hires 3 days or shorter. From the economy manual Hyundai Getz up to a standard Hyundai Sonata sedan, all rentals come with unlimited km’s. Their larger Toyota Camry V6 and Holden Commodores come with 200km/day costing 20 cents/extra km. Basic credit card information is required to secure the booking.

Note: If 200km/day is adequate, booking with A1 via Bargain Wheels above can fetch you slightly lower prices on the smaller hatchbacks or mid-sized sedans.
