Taxi Or Rental Car Which Is Best For Me
Taxi's are one way but can be an expensive to get around in if you are visiting a new city. Firstly, the driver may take advantage of your ignorance about the shortest route to your desination. We don't like to think about it but it unfortunately it does happen. Hire Cars are an alternative but remember they usually cost per passenger and this again can make your transportation expensive.
"HELP" A hire car can be a very reasonable option, you may need to do a little homework before you leave home and preferably well in advance to take advantage of the cheaper rates. One of the decisions is, do you collect from the airport on arrival or not? If collecting from the airport there will be airport surcharges added to the rental price. These may vary from location to location in Australia and can be as high as 20% of the total price. This surcharge is added to cover the fees from the airport corporations on car rental operators.
You may want to consider collecting a vehicle from a city branch but be careful you consider the cost of the transfer to the branch and the inconvenience of the transfer. Collecting your bags finding the taxi rank, the price of the transfer - it may bring the price up to the same as the price for collecting at the airport without any of the other hassles.
Returning the vehicle to the airport will be more convenient than transferring to the airport from the depot. When returning your rental car be sure to fill the fuel tank you will be charged at a premium rate if it is not return full. In Australia and New Zealand you will find that service stations are located near airports so you will not have problems finding them but to be sure check with the rental staff when you collect the car.
The good news is that the next time you are taking a holiday or business trip visit a website that offers the following:- best deals on car hire from the location of choice, listed in price order, no cancellation fees, instant confirmations and no credit card details required until you collect the car. Remember to visit the e-toll website prior to traveling as all the major cities in Australia have toll roads and some do not have toll booths so no cash payments will be accepted.
