What about insurance/excess reduction?: There are three options: (1) We offer Comprehensive Travel Insurance with Excess Reduction from QBE. This is $10-$22 cheaper per day than the suppliers cover. The cost saving and the price is shown after you choose a vehicle. The cover amount is up to $3000 (beyond that you don't pay anything if the standard liability per (1) above is $3000. If it is more than $3000 you can top up your cover). Excess payable to QBE if there is damage is only $50, they will pay all other costs. If you take this option you do not need the excess reduction offered by the suppliers at the depot.(2) Take the rental company's excess reduction which costs approx. $27-$35 per day (plus airport pickup fees of 10%-25%, depending on the airport surcharge). Excess payable in the event of damage will be $0 to $330 depending on the supplier.(3) Do nothing and for any damage you will be liable for up to $3000 or so, depending on what the "standard" liability/insurance is from the rental company.

If you are planning on visiting one of Australia's many illustrious cities with a group, bus hire can give you the transportation needed to accommodate the travel requirements of all of your trip companions. Consider the benefits of having a single rental vehicle to transport your group, rather than renting multiple cars, which would not only cost more but would also divide the members of the trip. Bus hire is the ideal transportation solution for company owners or managers that are planning a business trip for many employees, or for class field trips, and large family vacations. Regardless of your reason for needing a vehicle that can accommodate more passengers, bus hire will provide the most affordable and convenient mode of transportation during your stay in Australia.

By utilising the booking form on this page you can ensure that you are receiving the best price on bus hire after comparing car rental quotes from various reputable companies. Furthermore, CarRental.com.au provides exclusive coupons and discounts to our visitors, and simplifies the process of scheduling a trip by allowing you to specify the pickup and drop-off times and dates. Finally, you can refine your search to find only the most relevant deals by inputting the desired pickup and drop-off location for your bus rental. By booking in advance you'll be able to lock in the lowest rates and receive larger discounts than customers that wait until the last moment, so don't delay.
