Frequently Asked Questions – Car Rentals on the Gold Coast

We understand that renting a car long-term is different from short-term hire, and it’s normal to have questions. Below are answers to the most common questions about weekly, monthly and long-term car rentals on the Gold Coast. If you need more information, feel free to call us or send an enquiry.

 

You can rent a car for as little as 4 weeks and extend into longer-term hire as needed. There is no maximum. Many customers start with 4 weeks and continue for several months.

The minimum age is 21, and you require an open licence. L and P licences not accepted.


A renter pays a $500 security deposit at the beginning of the rental period. This is refunded at the end of the rental if the car is returned in the same condition as when picked up, and if there is no outstanding rent to be paid. 


 Yes. We specialise in weekly and monthly car rentals, which are ideal if you need a vehicle for more than just a few days.

You will need the $500 security deposit, and the first 2 weeks rent in advance. 


You pay the first 2 weeks up front, then rent is paid weekly or monthly in advance. We charge your bank/credit card that you have authorised us to charge. 


 

Your rental price includes:

  • Insurance 
  • Registration 
  • Servicing & maintenance 
  • Roadside assistance 

This means one simple weekly or monthly payment, without the ongoing costs of owning a vehicle.


Call us immediately on 0419 890 390 and we will guide you through the process of what to do. The car comes with road side assist. So a mechanic will be sent to help you on the side of the road. We have the car repaired in a timely manor and will have an alternative similar vehicle for you to swap into. 


 For many people, yes — especially if you only need a car temporarily.

Long-term rental avoids:

  • Large upfront purchase costs 
  • Depreciation 
  • Registration and servicing expenses 

It’s often a practical option if you’re staying on the Gold Coast short-to-medium term or don’t want ownership responsibilities.


If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please call us before you fall behind in rent and let us know your situation. It's better that we know up front, rather than having to charge late fees. If your financial situation has changed and you won't be able to keep up the rent, set up a time to return the car to us. No problems. No issues. We understand life has it's challenges.


 

Requirements typically include:

  • A valid open driver’s licence (No L or P)
  • Minimum 21 years of age 
  • Bank card in your name and security deposit
  • Proof of current address (phone bill, power bill, rental contract etc)
  • Passport if you are not an Australian citizen
     

If you’re unsure about eligibility, just contact us and we’ll walk you through it.

In this case, the owner of the credit card must be listed as an additional driver on the rental agreement, provide their drivers licence, and they must sign the rental agreement in person at the start of the rental.


If you have a valid International Drivers License or a License which is in English then you are able to drive in Australia.
