On average, car rentals in Logan cost around AUD $95.99 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $29.82 per day.
Consider a local Logan depot instead of Brisbane Airport. You could save 10-20% by skipping airport surcharges, even after factoring in the cost of a rideshare to get there.
If you're travelling during peak season (like school holidays), booking ahead can lock in better rates. For any other time, try starting your rental midweek to avoid the weekend price bump.
Skip the pricey add-ons. Use your phone for navigation instead of renting a GPS, and always ask if the fee for an additional driver can be waived for a spouse.
Always return the car with a full tank. The refuelling charge from the rental company will sting. Use an app like PetrolSpy to find the cheapest fuel near your drop-off spot.
