Default Reccie trip car hire?

We are going to Brisbane on a reccie trip next month for 2 weeks as our house still hasent sold. We want to hire a car for about half of the 2 weeks stay in the middle so that once we have got settled we can have trips to coastal areas. Can anyone recommend the best car hire companys to use at a decent price?? Thanks Pete

The cheapest I found by a long way was Nova car hire. They use Europcar in Oz and were excellent when we used them

Take a look at www.vroomvroomvroom.com.au

Used them a fair few times - they check out the majors and I've always had a good price.

I booked with Europcar. They were almost the cheapest, a few dollars more, but they are on-airport. In my experience this can save you a couple of hours, and time on a reccie is precious!
