We need to hire a car when we arrive in Mach for about 2 weeks or untill we can buy a new one. Any idea of cheap but good companies for brisbane airport? or what have others done on arrival to the airport?

Found Avis Car hire to be good. When you add all the extras like insurance etc works out comparable with some of the cheaper advertised ones. Also get unlimited k's which is a bonus around here.

East Coast are Awesome, like Steve o stated. they collect you rom the airport and are cheap. A rellie left something in the car and they returned it to us so I could send it back to the UK, very good helpful guys.

Looked at eastcoast but they worked out more expensive. Got a Toyota Avalon as a free upgrade via Avis.

Whatever you do, NEVER use ABEL. The MD/owner is called Nathan Conn and is well named.

Best to go to all the websites and check the final prices. Depending on demand prices can be all over the place, and you can get a nice 4x4 cheap than a med saloon some days.

Check for the airport loading, and return times as part days even by an hour count as a new day. Budget have always been good for me.

Check the insurance cover too. Beware tyres, windscreen, roof damage as some companies won't include it.

We used east coast rentals as well and were well impressed

We have used a hire car on several holidays all over the world, including brisbane, africa, america, france, spain and Italy. On all these occassions we have booked through Holiday autos and over a 20 year period we have never had a problem, and their prices are good.

Before our visit to brisbane this July we checked out all the hire companys but found holiday autos to be no more expensive than the competition and we were allowed to pick up the car at coolangatta airport and return it to brisbane airport at no extra charge.

I hope this helpful, check out their wedsite,

we used Andy's auto rentals, Logan. They picked us up and dropped us back again as part of service and paid our parking ticket for us( we did pay them back!).They do airport drops as well.

Many rental companies will have a large excess such as $3000 and then charge (option) about $20 a day to reduce the excess to say $750.

This is expensive insurance. If you have or intned to get travel insurance look for policies which include vehicle rental excess insurance in the price.

I bought annual multi-trip travel insurance from 1Cover (for abput $400) and the excess reduction was included. Came in very handy when I was billed over $700 by Abel for a dent I did not make in the vehicle.

This is what we did, and as ever some companies have offers on at different times. We ended up hiring ours with Hertz which was good as we picked it up at the airport but then returned it in the city, which at that time is where we were staying, so saved a trip back out to the airport
