FAQs

How do I add a baby seat or GPS?: Baby/child/booster seats and GPS are options on the third (and final) step of the booking process. Availability and costs are displayed. It might be cheaper to bring your own seats or GPS units as the charges are north of $9 a day for each.
How do I cancel?: Sign in at the top right corner of your screen using your password (you may already be logged in). Passwords are created when you first book with us so it may be in your inbox or you can get a reissue using the "Can't Access Account" link. Once in your account click on the cancel button for the appropriate booking.
How do I modify/make changes: As prices change every few hours you risk losing a good deal so what to do depends on what you need to change/modify.To change pickup or dropoff times by +30 minutes or change locations or car choice, create a new booking and cancel the old one.To add GPS and child seats to an existing booking it's best to call the provider: Avis is 136 333; Budget 1300 362 848; Hertz 13 30 39; Thrifty 1300 367 227; Europcar 1300 13 13 902.
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.

On a road trip. Melbourne to Adelaide or vice versa? Perhaps you're doing Sydney to Brisvegas and the Gold Coast? Or Sydney to Perth? Just jokes, that would be best done on a penny farthing (see Lloyd Scott). Wherever you're heading and wherever you're starting you can compare prices from the major car rental companies below.

So you are considering a trip to Australia or New Zealand, and you need a car, truck, SUV, campervan, or motorhome while you're there, but you don't want to have to drive the vehicle back to the location that it was picked up at. If this sounds like a situation similar to yours, then the most ideal solution would be one way car hire. By filling out the booking form above you can begin comparing rate quotes from multiple car hire companies throughout various regions of Australia and the surrounding areas. One way car hire will not only save you time, it will also save you money by allowing you to decrease the amount spent on car hire because you won't have to pay for additional mileage and fuel costs to bring the car back to its original pickup location.

Many of the one-way car hire services that you'll be able to compare rate quotes from through our user-friendly interface will provide a wide selection of vehicles, from sedans to SUVs and everything in between. In addition, many car hire companies also offer GPS rentals, which can significantly improve the quality of your trip by providing navigational assistance. Many one-way car hire services also include complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance, which can guide you to safety and provide crucial advice during unexpected emergencies or times of need. If you are planning a one-way trip from one part of Australia or New Zealand to another, consider the obvious advantages of one-way car hire.
