Comparing Rental Deals - Full Sized Cars
Quotes on full-sized rental cars about the size of a Toyota Camry; a Nissan X-Trail; a Hyundai i40; or a KIA Optima, can be obtained by visiting our Gold Coast Car Rental Companies links page and selecting any company of your choice - our hyperlink will quickly get you onto that company's website.
We can't stress strongly enough that you should be aware of vast differences in the terms and conditions of rental between different rental companies - some have exclusions that no-one would reasonably expect to encounter and these are hardly ever adequately explained. Third Party Property Damage, Theft, Hail or Storm Damage, Single Vehicle Incidents might not occur every day, but the absence of any cover for these and other similar risks can expose you to liabilities that can easily be measured in thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Not all exclusions are given publicity. There are serious shortcomings with many of the 39 operators that we surveyed, check out our comments on the links page.
Here are our pricing findings:
We were the only company with a sub-$300 full package as described on our compare car rental quotes page, backing up our value superiority in both small car hire and medium car hire rental packages, our lowest priced full sized family sedan is $272.00 (insurance excess $275) for the specified package and we have another two different vehicle/price points below the $300 barrier.
Information gathered 28th March 2018 for rental dates 1 May to 8 May 2018, same start and finish times.

We maintain price and value superiority for every combination of options (either included or excluded) in this category.
Where we state that no terms & conditions or insurance details are supplied, it is possible that there may be no real issues with those companies, but, if their contractual terms were OK, they would probably publish them. It would be wise to check with any company that does not provide these details to get actual rental contract documentation before making any commitment.
