    Still very expensive compared to Jucy :/

      What's jucy like, their fleet looks incredibly aged.

      • life is suffering on 04/04/2021 - 14:00

        Yeah

      • Raynes on 04/04/2021 - 18:18

        Not sure where you're located but the same corollas, camrys and konas as Avis

      • Bezoo on 04/04/2021 - 19:55

        Used jucy in Melbourne recently. Thought they were amazing got a brand new Mitsubishi asx

    OP, you need to add that the booking has to include a Saturday night, the code is invalid otherwise (just checked it for a Mon-Fri booking I have in May).

    If you don't want to be gouged by car hire here's what you do.

    Go on Google maps and zoom into the airport youre landing in. Type in car hire in the search box and you'll see a whole bunch of family owned car hire businesses.

    Go through each one and you'll get rates that are more than half the rates of the usual big companies and much nicer cars.

      You're partly right, partly wrong.

      These companies are usually not inside the airport, so you gotta sort transport either with them or on your own to get from the airport to their location.

      Yes, their prices are usually cheaper. Partly because they don't pay the "Premium Location Surcharge" the big companies have to pay to have a depot inside the airport which is crazy high depending on how big the airport is. In the case of Brisbane Airport it's 28%.

      Regarding the fleet, I'm not too sure about what their cars look like, but the big rental car companies usually have cars for a year, sell them and buy new ones. So their fleet is usually in pretty good condition. Expect for commercial vehicles.

      • jaimex2 on 04/04/2021 - 18:43
        +3

        So far they've all compensated for not having a premium location by leaving the cars in the airport parking lot and asking me to leave it there on return with the keys and ticket hidden and phone them to come pick up.

        And yep, I've noticed the cars can be older but are usually at higher spec. With the big guys I've sometimes been missing cruise control which is the worst for long travel.

        You're partly right, partly wrong.

        Not really. The information is right.

        You have presented extra information which may provide more to consider but does not at all make any of the original information wrong.

    For my Darwin booking it's still much cheaper with Budget

      Strange considering they are the same company :)

    • slipperypete on 04/04/2021 - 15:45

      how much cheaper? Considering UrbionPT saying they are the same company can you let us know the difference? I know sometimes they may have different offers but would be surprised if MUCH cheaper

        Sorry, my bad I've compared with a previous reservation.

        10 days
        552.86 with Budget Compact SUV - But this reservation was made a few months ago
        819.68 with Avis
        847.80 currently with Budget

        • whyisave on 04/04/2021 - 16:59

          ouch…Darwin car hires have increased.

        • Froot Loops on 04/04/2021 - 19:37

          Keep in mind a lot has changed in a few months. Many car companies have transferred cars to areas with flooding to be let as insurance vehicles, which has pushed prices all over the country up

  • ozstig on 04/04/2021 - 15:48

    Worth checking your employee benefits if applicable. I save over 50% on bookings and it already includes excess reduction.

    • Mattz0r on 06/04/2021 - 12:58

      Can confirm this stacks with a corporate AWD#

  • Embaloo on 04/04/2021 - 17:05

    Don't forget to get travel insurance which has excess cover instead of paying 5x as much to reduce the excess through the hire company!!

    • arcticmonkey on 04/04/2021 - 18:39

      Do you recommend anyone?

      • Embaloo on 04/04/2021 - 20:04

        I've used Insureandgo recently, quite good (well I didn't have to claim, just cheap) - about $8/day for $7500 excess cover. I found them after about half an hour of research & comparisons. Just check that the company is legit and who it's underwritten by.

        I did a trip just using rentalcover (only car excess cover), but it turned out the whole trip insurance was cheaper.

        Some places price match too, keep an eye out for that. Just make sure you read the pds'

        • movieman on 04/04/2021 - 21:04

          Never heard of insureandgo, but looks like a good alternative.

          Usually use Tripcover, but will consider this for rental excess insurance in the future.

          Cheers.

        • lordra on 05/04/2021 - 00:31

          I've used
          These guys for the last couple of years. What do you think?

          • Embaloo on 05/04/2021 - 08:20

            @lordra: Looks pretty good. Covers windscreen & underbody.
            It's not full travel insurance but it certainly covers the excess part, handy.

            • lordra on 05/04/2021 - 22:36

              @Embaloo: Yes, sorry, I thought we were talking exclusively about the excess as the cost of norm insurance is covered by the rental company itself.

              ACCC should bring out a law that imposes a restriction on the excess amount.

        • thomalfa on 07/04/2021 - 08:56

          I thought mostly high-end credit card has covered travel insurance if the card is used to pay for the expenses… well obviously depend on which bank cc… some bank cc covered this and not that vice versa… also the sum that covered is varied as well….

          do we still need additional travel insurance???

    • Captain Hindsight on 05/04/2021 - 09:31
      +1

      Yes Ive done that and when travelling with my family domestically we only insure the driver which still covers excess but is cheaper than insuring family.

      EDIT: even cheaper option is booking with a credit card that covers the excess.

    • omblygombly on 05/04/2021 - 10:19

      Gave you a +1. A lot of people don't consider this. Used to cost about $30 - $40 for about 1 - 2 weeks worth of travel, but I haven't used it for years as I haven't hired a car. Budget, Hertz,Avis etc charge at least $10 a day.

    • WaTtieS on 05/04/2021 - 16:19

      That's a really good tip re travel insurance. I went with Avis Noosa a few years ago and I couldn't believe how they sting you. From memory the excess was about $3.5k regardless of fault.

      I even clarified with the woman at the desk, so even if I'm sitting at the lights and say someone bumps into me who I can identify, I'm still up for the excess? Yep

      From that moment on I vowed never to support Avis again and spread the word of what a rip off they are

      • lordra on 05/04/2021 - 22:36

        They are l exactly the same mate. All a bloody rip off.

      • Embaloo on 06/04/2021 - 07:41

        Yeah it's crazy! They are mostly like that!

    I was more interested in that bridge in the picture (had to google it).. not from NSW so never seen the Sea Cliff bridge before.

    QEEQ might be cheaper
