Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Gold Coast - Surfers Paradise?

On average, car rentals in Gold Coast – Surfers Paradise cost around AUD $73.68 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $30.53 per day.

Low-cost rental tips
  • Compare pickup locations. A car from Gold Coast Airport can be cheaper for a week-long trip, while picking up in Surfers Paradise itself helps you avoid airport fees. It pays to check both.

  • Go small to save big. A smaller car is not just cheaper to rent, it's a lifesaver for navigating and parking in the tight spots around Surfers.

  • Check the weekly rate. Renting for 5 or 6 days can sometimes cost almost as much as a full 7-day rental. Always check the price for a full week to see if you can snag a bargain.

  • Book ahead for holidays. If you're visiting during peak season like Christmas or school holidays, booking your car weeks in advance is your best bet for a decent price and actually getting a vehicle.
