    The ladies at Brookvale Thrifty were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to get my vehicle organised even though I was early for the pick up. They ugraded me to a new Nissan XTrail and made the entire experience very enjoyable and stress free.

  • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Sunshine?

    The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Sunshine may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.

  • Is insurance already included when I book a rental car in Sunshine?

    Yes, basic insurance is already included when you hire a car in Sunshine. However, you may have to pay an excess amount if the rental car gets stolen or damaged which will cost around AUD$4,000 to AUD$8,250.

  • Can I pick up my rental car in Sunshine and drop off in another location?

    Absolutely. You can pick up your hire car in Sunshine and drop off in another location. However, there may be a one-way fee charged to your booking by your supplier. To avoid surprises, we add this charge to the total cost displayed in our search engine.

  • How can I add an additional driver to my booking?

    You can add an additional driver to your booking when you pick up your vehicle in Sunshine and your additional driver will need to provide their driver’s licence to your car hire supplier. If the driver is under 25 years old, you may be charged an additional fee to include them in your booking.
