• Compare depot locations. Picking up your car from a depot in one of Southport's industrial areas is often cheaper than from a spot right in the CBD. A short taxi or rideshare to the depot could save you a fair bit.

• Check out the local guys. Don't just look at the big international brands. Smaller, local Gold Coast companies can have sharper prices and sometimes include a free additional driver.

• Play the calendar game. If you can be flexible, renting a car mid-week is often cheaper than over the weekend in a business hub like Southport. Also, prices drop outside of school holidays and peak seasons.

• Save on fuel and parking. Avoid filling up at the expensive service stations right near the motorway. And instead of paying for pricey parking in Surfers Paradise, consider parking in Southport and catching the light rail.
