Carins to Brisbane
hell Everyone,
Just a quick Question. I am looking to hire a car from Cairns to Brisbane for my coming holiday. I realise that I am travelling in the wrong direction than most and was wondering if I should book my car hire before I go, or if I could get a cheaper rate once in cairns, because the cars need to go back up towards Brisbane and Sydney.. what do you all think? Ps. and which Car Hire companies do we reccommend. Thanks and see you in april. |

Carins to Brisbane
Hi,
I have just returned from travelling and did the same trip about 5 weeks ago. I used a company called Nova Car Hire http://www.novacarhire.com to hire the vehicle online but the car was actually hired from a company called Red Spot Car Rentals at Cairns Airport. The Cairms to Brisbane route was just one of the trips we were doing and because we were hiring cars from a lot of different companies and did not want to pay the expensive collision damage waver reduction insurance every time. I took out an annual policy with a company called www.insurance4carhire.com. The policy covers the excess amount in the event of a claim. Which is normally around AUD 2,750. This worked out cheaper then paying the hire company each time to reduce the excess amount. Hope this helps. Paul wrote in message oups.com... hell Everyone, Just a quick Question.

Carins to Brisbane
Gidday all. (and Alan) (seem to keep tracking you)
A CDW cover for the excess is also available from the RACV in Vic. It is a seperate policy available in their travel insurance dept, and is not very expensive. I would use that if I didnt have cover for free through Visa. Hope that helps too -- Have a great day today, and an even better day tomorrow.
