On average, car rentals at Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) cost around AUD $96.25 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $21.70 per day.
Look beyond the terminal. A quick, free shuttle to an off-airport rental spot in Marcoola can often save you cash by skipping the airport location fees.
If you're coming for Christmas or school holidays, book your car well in advance as prices creep up. Visiting during the quieter months? You might snag a better deal.
Renting for 5 or 6 days? Get a quote for a full week too. Sometimes the weekly discount makes it cheaper than a shorter rental. Go figure.
Don't just compare the rental companies. Compare the pick-up locations to see if an on-airport or off-airport option gives you a better deal for your trip.
