Anyone ever hired a six seater (4 adults, 2 kids) at a reasonable price in Brissy? I can get a Tarago for $85/day but would like to find a better price?

Budget have an advertised special:

Thanks ABCD!

Dont get stung like we did, very well known car firm, internet booking fully inclusive quote, insurance etc came to about $90 a day. However at the end of the hire we were told about more compulsory charges and levies and taxes bring our all inclusive quote to another $120, imagine if we had hired for weeks not days, not what we were led to believe by the internet or the human staff we tried to clarify this when we picked up the car. Be very wary of 'special deals'.

we hired the tarago last week for 3 days from budget in surfers paradise and with excess cover it was about $355 but they are still one of the cheapest there.to do it through our hotel which was the mecure next door to budget it would of cost another $80 so i would use them again but when you book it remember to tell them if you need child seats as they are $5 a day to rent.good luck

I notice many of the 'best' deals have kms limited to about 100km a day and then 50c/km after that (for a Tarago). Now I want to use one to transport rellies the length and breadth of SEQ, on a limited kms I'd be paying another $50 a day even just for a trip to the Sunshine Coast and back.

I found that Hertz do one for $55/day, before GST etc which brought it up to around $430/week (still before excess reduction at just under $20/day).

I'd stil be interested to find somewhere where I can rent older models (6 seater+).

Do you need something as big as a tarago. How about a Kia carnival? (7 seater)

In that case http://www.rentabomb.com.au/brisbane.html

I've no idea what they are like, but they are nationwide.

This is hard work!

Rentabomb do the old Tarago at $360/week (for a/c vehicle) which is 10-15% cheaper than a new one from Hertz (accounting for govt taxes). Their excess is less at $1000 (compared to about $2500) and excess insurance at $4.40/day reduces excess to $500. They also have unlimited kms, HOWEVER, travel is limited to the metropolitan area (within 50kms of Brisbane) otherwise an unspecified fee applies.

Think I need to call them to work out whether Hertz or Rentabomb best fits my requirements.
