Skip the airport pickup. Picking up your car in a suburban depot like Redcliffe or North Lakes often means you can dodge those extra airport fees.
Look for weekly discounts. If you need a car for 5 or 6 days, compare the price for a full 7-day rental because it can sometimes be cheaper.
Drive the toll-free route. When heading into Brisbane, you can take the scenic coastal road via Sandgate to avoid paying for the Gateway Motorway toll.
Compare local and major brands. Don't just stick to the big names. Local Redcliffe providers can sometimes offer more competitive deals for a similar car.
