Best Price Guarantee !! We don't say Lowest Price guarantee because sometimes our prices may APPEAR higher but you have to carefully check out the inclusions. We try and include as much as possible in our rates so that you don't have any 'big surprises' at the end of your rental. Our quotes carefully spell out what is included and what has to be paid at the start of your rental. A common mistake when clients compare rental rates is that they don't read the inclusions carefully. Sure, some companies say insurance is included but what they omit to say is that it has an excess or deductible of $3000 . We include Collision Damage Waiver which reduces this to a more manageable figure as standard. To buy this waiver will often cost up to 12 Euros per day ! We also include airport fees where we can - in Italy for example some companies add 14% of the rental rate. Other items to check for would be: Road Registration fees, additional driver fees, city and sometimes rail surcharges. Other reasons why you should book with us - Click here |

WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK WITH US We save you the time and effort of calling several different companies to find the best rate and vehicle to suit your needs. We have the largest selection of any company worldwide. We are expert niche specialists. Did
you know??? One way fees - they can vary by hundreds of dollars between companies. When you need a one way rental, we automatically check every company we represent to find the best one way fee. Why call nine companies when one call to us does it for you... Petrol or diesel? - We know which is best! The cost of fuel? - We know that too... CDW & PAI & SLI...you get offered these -Do you know which you need and which you don't? We do. Some companies have a minimum/maximum age - some charge extra if you fall into this category. We know which do and which don't. Some
cars & motorhomes can go into Eastern European countries
- some can't. A second driver fee can be $10 per day... some allow it free - same with airport / city / station fee. Guess who know this too !! Do
I need an International Drivers Permit...
If you have a drivers licence in English
eg. Australian, New Zealand, USA etc you do not need an International
Drivers permit. |
1. If your rental is under 21 days - car rental is generally more cost effective than leasing. 2. Car rental prices vary from country to country - so a slight adjustment of your starting point can save you heaps eg. a 1.4 L Megane picked up in Spain would cost you Australian $60 per day but just go across the border to France and you will pay Australian $45 per day for that same car ! 3. If you are under 25 - avoid paying the young driver surcharge which can be an Australian $25 per day by doing a car lease. 4.
If you want a minibus, an automatic vehicle
or need a vehicle for more than 28 days - look at car leasing
which is the tax free program which is sanctioned by the French
government to encourage tourism. Leasing includes absolutely everything
with no additional driver fees, airport fees and even the comprehensive
insurance does not have an excess. Cars can be leased for up to
175 days with prices starting from Australian $24 a day per car.
Have a look at 5. Do all that is possible to get a diesel vehicle as diesel can cost up to a third less than petrol in some countries. Note that with a rental car - you most often will receive a petrol driven car. With leasing you can order a diesel car. 6.
If you are taking a rental car - the insurance which is included,
does come with an excess of approximately Australian $1,000 and
whilst you could take out excess reduction waivers at the car
counter - do check your travel insurance policy as quite a few
of them offer "Rental vehicle insurance excess cover"
- which means you don't have to take out those waivers as your
travel 7. If on a budget, consider taking a Motorhome instead of a car. This would be your accommodation and transport in one and you can save so much by cooking your own food and making your own sandwich lunches. See www.motorhomesworldwide.com for comprehensive info. Motorhomes are offered in 32 countries. 8. Car hire & Motorhomes are often priced on a seasonal basis whereby the pick up date determines the rate for the entire rental so if you want a car on 30 September - it may be worthwhile to wait one day and start on 01October when the rates drop. 9. If you do a fly/drive package - you often get the car or airfare at a reduced rate. Have a look at www.europeshoppe.com.au 10. Lastly - most companies in Europe charge an airport fee - in some places like Italy, this can as high as 14% of your TOTAL hire cost, so consider taking a taxi to a downtown location and avoiding the fee. Incidentally, airport drop off's do not incur the airport fee. 11. Want to travel to Eastern Europe eg. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and your car hire company won't allow it? Start in Germany or Austria and you can or alternatively, lease a car. They allow it with full insurance and no excess. REMEMBER TO PACK...
