Compare pickup locations. Grabbing a car from an airport is easy but often comes with extra fees. Picking up in Byron Bay town avoids these, but you'll need to pay for a shuttle to get there. Do the math to see which option is cheaper overall.
Travel off-peak if you can. Prices in Byron shoot up during school holidays and festivals like Bluesfest or Splendour in the Grass. Visiting in months like May or June could cut your rental cost significantly.
Book way ahead for popular dates. If you must travel during Christmas or Easter, lock in your car 3-6 months early. Vehicles can sell out and last-minute prices are no joke.
Go for a smaller car. You don't need a huge vehicle for most of the area. A compact car is cheaper to rent, easier to park in the busy town, and saves you money on fuel.
