Need advice on car rental

Jeff

As a matter of fact, I have emailed to standbycar a month ago, asking
them to keep an eye for my request.

Up until now, there is nothing. Of course, if there were a match, I
think that will be a better deal though.

But my offer from both Thrithy and Hertz are reasonable and fine. It
is just a matter of which to pick. But I think I am now biased
towards Hertz.

Thanks

Hi Calvin

They used to offer one way specials, one of main ideas of the site was to
move cars between cities etc and get a few dollars instead of paying drivers
to drive them for the companies.

If you get a better deal direct, i suggest emailing standby and asking them
what they can do.
I am sure they want to remain competitive.

cheers

Thanks for that, I have been to that site recent months, and the
normal booking is always higher than direct car rental companies, and
they do not offer one way.

The hot deal may be candidate but they post a lot of restriction, and
a lot of campervan.

Nevertheless, this is an option to keep an eye.

Hi folks

We are planning to drive from Sydney to Brisbane end of July.

I have reserved a car both from Thrithy and Hertz. Their prices are
comparable with Hertz being 15% more.

I am asking to see anyone out there has any advice as to which one I
should pick.

By the way, I also booked one from europcar at Cairns when we are
going there after Brisbane. Unfortunately that Hertz is sold out,
while others (Avis, Budget, Thrithy) are comparable more expensive,
how is europcar compared with others?

Your help is much appreciated.

I always find Avis more competitve.
If you are a member of a motor club, that may give you an additional
discount, of course you may have already negotiated this.

A friend asked them to keep him informed of any deals on a one way ental
from Brisbane to Mackay. They phoned him the day after he arrived in Mackay
with a great deal. I guess it is always about timing.
