What about insurance/excess reduction?
Car rental insurance is confusing! If you wish to reduce your excess we encourage you to do that upon picking up the car, with the exception of Redspot who provide our customers with awesome $0 excess reduction that includes free tolls. If you are looking at Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar or Thrifty we suggest looking into inexpensive travel cover as it will save you about $20 per day.
Are the prices the same as Avis, Hertz etc etc?
Ours are generally better. Our coupons are exclusive so they give you the opportunity to save up to $100 or so, depnding on the offer and the supplier. Our Europcar prices are up to 5% cheaper than Europcar.com.au. And our Redspot $0 excess reduction price is a speial offer for our users, it includes free tolls among other things. Please note that we don't add a booking fee, you pay the shown price on pickup.
When do I pay?
You pay the car rental company on collecting your vehicle. We do not collect payment or credit card details, instead we automatically submit your details to the car rental company when you make a booking using our easy 3 step process.
What are the taxes, surcharges, airport fees etc?
Prices we display are direct from our partner websites. Their fees include:Airport pick up fees of up to 22% extra per day. The names and rates for these differ by company and location. Sydney Airport is the most "taxed" airport (19-20% per day). It's an exorbitant fee, we recommend getting a cab as it only applies to airport pick ups not drop offs.One way rental fees (on the East Coast these are rare though e.g. Melbourne to Sydney there is no one way fee). Others incl vehicle registration Fees, "Admin" Fees (these aren't ours of course) GST.
Will I get all my points?
Yes you will get all the points that you would earn by booking directly with Thrifty, Europcar, Hertz, Avis and Budget. We show the earnable (is that a word?) points on step 2. Add your frequent flyer number into the Travel Profile after you complete your booking.
Do I have to be over 21 or 25?
An underage surcharge of between 7%-10% per day applies for 21-25 year olds, depending on the rental company. Cars are not available to Under 21's. We would recommend that an older driver book and drive.

In sync with the terrain that envelopes it, the buildings in Alice Springs carry on the same rugged look, fashioned as they are with a rustic décor. But tourists need not feel out of place in the Alice's seclusion. One of Australia's more heavily toured towns for its size, tourists often outnumber the locals.
With a car rental through CarRental.com.au, however, you are not limited to the town limits. Rent a car at Alice Springs airport and take a quick jaunt into the Outback to witness firsthand Australia's most prized national treasure. A 4WD hire is ideal for such an outdoor adventure and can be ready for you when you step off your plane.
Otherwise, a rental car will allow you to drive through this quaint location at your leisure, stopping inside the city's numerous cafes, building your wardrobe and personal effects at one of the many shopping outlets. Or drive out to see the Royal Flying Doctor Service Base and the School of the Air for a little bit of Alice Springs history.
