Its’ an unfortunate fact that price is so often the deciding factor when choosing the type and size of car to be rented; but is it a smart move to choose the smallest option just because it is perceived to be the cheapest? Is a small car really going to be large enough for your needs?
With Aussie Bargain Car Rentals there are many cost effective options for those on a tight budget. Earlier model vehicles offer a very cost effective option for those who need a larger vehicle and don’t mind driving used cars in good condition.
If you think you may need more room and low price is a deciding factor; consider hiring a larger used vehicle.
It sounds really obvious but small cars really do have small boots and you can’t fit a lot of luggage in them, especially if there are 4 or 5 people in the car. Your options; either bring less luggage or hire a larger car.
Mid-sized sedans or even our larger SUVs are often very economical to run and have much more boot space than a small hatch. They also do not cost much more to hire. If boot space is a major consideration but you don’t want to hire a larger SUV, consider hiring one of our Nissan Tiida sedans which have a massive boot space for a compact midsized sedan. Another great option are the Hyundai Elantra sedans which also have generous boot space. You can also fit a surprisingly reasonable amount of luggage into the boot of our new Kia Cerato sedans.
Need even more luggage room? Then hire one of our 2010 Ford Falcon stationwagons. Our largest SUVs are the Nissan X-Trail wagons which have quite a large amount of luggage space. You can always bring several smaller soft bags rather than large solid suitcases that do not fit well into most car boots. Soft bags are always easier to pack into a car boot.
Keep abreast of travel and road condition reports, especially during any adverse weather events, heavy rain, wind, flooding etc and always during the tropical storm season. If you have watched TV reports in previous years you will know that although we have predominantly great weather in Sunshine Coast - Maroochydore, it can rain heavily here during the northern cyclone season. Although most water drains away quickly, with periods of prolonged rain there can be flooding in low lying areas. At such times it pays to listen to local radio stations, watch TV weather updates and check road conditions on the Main Roads and RACQ websites. Rental cars are NOT covered for water emersion. Be aware and take care where you drive. Stay well clear of areas that may be flooding.
