On average, car rentals in Maryborough cost around AUD $77.38 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $54.32 per day.
Dodge the airport fees. Picking up your car in Maryborough's town centre is usually cheaper than grabbing it right at Hervey Bay Airport.
Visiting during Christmas or the winter whale watching season (June-August)? Book your car a few months early to lock in a better rate.
Think about renting for a full week. The per-day cost is often much cheaper when you book for a longer period.
Top up the tank in bigger towns like Maryborough itself. Fuel prices are usually a bit friendlier where there's more competition.
