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

    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 Surfers Paradise 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.

  • Can I pick up a car hire in Surfers Paradise and drop off in another location?

    Of course. When booking your car, choose the destination you’d like to drop off at, though keep in mind your supplier may charge a one-way fee.
