Book smart, not just early. For busy times like whale season (July to October) or school holidays, booking way ahead is key to getting a good price. For the rest of the year, you have more wiggle room.
Compare all your options. Don't just go with the first name you know. Checking out different companies on our site, including smaller local ones, can save you real money.
Dodge the airport surcharge. Picking up your car from a depot in town instead of right at Hervey Bay Airport can often be cheaper. Just make sure to check their opening hours.
Look for weekly rental deals. If your trip is five days or longer, a weekly rate can be a lot cheaper than paying by the day.
