Car
Hire / Rental Tips
Things to Consider before you Book.....
Reserve in advance! Quoted rates are usually only snapshots
for reservations
made on a given day and these rates may change, according
to availability,
level of bookings and other factors. Be responsible and cancel
your
reservation if you have a change of plan.
Unused
days
No refunds are issued on unused rental days. Do not plan to
book
for the longest possible period and return early. If you find
you need to
keep your rental vehicle longer than planned, extensions can
be done quickly
and easily over the telephone.
Child Safety & Booster Seats
are usually available. Most car companies offer
child safety and booster seats. Since there may be limited
availability on
these you should reserve these well in advance with our
reservations
department.
You can't Reserve a Specific Car Type
When you reserve, you are holding down a Car within a CAR
GROUP, not necessarily a specific make or model.
Beware of the 24 Hour Clock !
Beware of the 24 Hour Clock ! When obtaining your car rental
quote be aware of the "24 hour clock rate". This
means if you rent your car on Wednesday and return it on
Thursday, you are charged for one day only if you return
it within 24 hrs.
Things to Consider when you Collect your vehicle.....
Do I Need to Buy their Coverages, Insurance or
Damage Waivers
at the Counter? You may be offered additional insurances
(e.g. Personal Accident
Insurance) at the time of arrival, however these are entirely
optional.
Unlimited Mileage?
All of the companies we deal with offer unlimited mileage.
This may vary in Australia, according to collection location.
Fuel Charges
Fuel policies vary from rental company to company. Check
this with staff upon vehicle pick up.
Airport Surcharges
These vary from country to country and are usually included
in the rate.
Minimum Age Policies will Differ
These will differ from country to country. Surcharges/restrictions
may apply for drivers aged 20-25 and 70-75 years. The main
driver will need a valid drivers licence and major credit
card in the same name.
Do I Need a Major Credit Card?
Yes, all of our rental car agencies accept only major credit
cards and do NOT accept debit cards or cash.
Check Out the Condition of your Car
It's a good idea to inspect the vehicle prior to leaving
the rental depot. Any damage or unusual dents/scratches
should be noted on the contract before you drive away. Go
back to the rental office if need be to have this acknowledged
in writing. Some companies may enforce a hard line policy
regarding this.
Can I Let Someone Else Drive the Rental Car?
In most cases, you will need to list additional drivers
on your contract at the time of pick up.
