• 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.
