Does anyone know if there are any rental companies in australia that will rent a car to an over 25 P plater?
yep thrifty do, but they charge a fee round $20 per day extra
Excellent thanks!
Hmmm just gave them a call, seems like they don't take P platers anymore, damm.....
Renting a car is impossible if you're under 21.. During a holiday I tried to get my name put on as a secondary driver, I was 19.. None of the major franchises would have a bar of it..
hmmm... odd. I work for thrifty, but maybe it's due to franchising, coz I know we allow p-platers and young'ens for an additional fee.
Maybe you're out of luck?
Im 24 but on my opens and went on holidays from QLD to NSW and they charged me an extra $15 per day for bein under 25 but they said if i were on my p's it would be about the same price but needed a up front deposit or credit card on their system. but in QLD they charge heaps for rentals dont know why....Qld $115 per day ..... NSW $70 per day ....this was through thrifty
Might be different franchises or just Thrifty, Avis seems to be cheaper for the Sat Nav equipped Commodores in Queensland than in NSW.Originally Posted by S Pack
Strange thing was when I was up on the Sunshine Coast it was going to cost me $785 for a week (full insurance, excess reduction, etc) to pick up a car from Brisbane Airport to drive up or $620 for the same car pick up at Maroochydore Airport, weird...
Avis will rent to under 25's but you can only rent up to a mid-size car if you are under 25
