Saving Tips
  • 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.
