For turtle season or school holidays (Nov-Mar), book your car months ahead to avoid missing out. Visiting in winter (Jun-Aug)? You can often find the best deals then.
Compare prices between the airport and city depots. Picking up your car in Bundaberg city can save you from a hefty airport surcharge, just remember to budget for a taxi from your flight.
Don't book a bigger car than you need. A small economy car is perfect for couples and will save you money on both the rental price and at the petrol pump.
Fill the tank yourself before returning the car. It's nearly always cheaper than paying the rental company's rate. Keep an eye out for supermarket fuel discount dockets too.
