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 for A$13.20/day, getting less the longer you rent.

Bargain Wheels Go To Site

Value deals across all sizes with East Coast Car Rentals or Alpha Car Hire

Bargain Wheels is a comparison site displaying rates from a number of independent companies. They don’t have the most user-friendly search function but are definitely worth checking. In particular, you should look out for deals from Alpha Car Hire and East Coast Car Rentals where booking via Bargain Wheels can result in lower prices than booking with either directly (Alpha Car Hire includes 500km/day while ECCR includes unlimited mileage).
