BEST
PRICE GUARANTEE!!
We don't
say Lowest Price guarantee because sometimes our prices may APPEAR higher
but you have to carefully check out the inclusions. We try and include
as much as possible in our rates so that you don't have any 'big surprises'
at the end of your rental. Our quotes carefully spell out what is included
and what has to be paid at the start of your rental.
A common
mistake when clients compare rental rates is that they don't read the
inclusions carefully. Sure, some companies say insurance is included
but what they omit to say is that it has an excess or deductible of $3000
. We include Collision Damage Waiver which reduces this to a more manageable
figure as standard. To buy this waiver will often cost up to 12 Euros
per day !
We also
include airport fees where we can - in Italy for example some companies
add 14% of the rental rate. Other items to check for would be: Road Registration
fees, additional driver fees, city and sometimes rail surcharges.

REMEMBER TO PACK...
- Calculator -
don't get ripped off with foreign exchange conversions.
- Duct
tape -
great as fluff remover; to seal a box if you want to send
excess
baggage home; wrap around a travel bag if the zip breaks or as extra
security
- Lip
balm -
lips can dry out especially if you are not used to being
outdoors quite so much
- Muesli
bars -
will keep you going until the next meal
- Notebook
and pen... handy
especially for language barriers - draw a picture - a bit
like foreign pictionary! When you don't know foreign numbers...
at least you can understand written prices & to make
notes of when and where you took that photo and to write
down details of new friends.
- Pedometer -
see how many km's you cover in a day
- Pocket
knife - handy for cutting up an impromptu picnic
lunch
- Plastic
plate or frisbee -
useful for your lunch, cutting your cheese, salami, tomato
etc and for playing with afterwards...fun on the beach
- Pre
printed address labels -
instead of taking your address book - just peel and stick
labels on your postcards
- Plastic
poncho with hood -
looks dorky but at least your hands will be free for taking
photos etc whereas an umbrella can be a hindrance - especially
in crowded places.
- Spare
spectacles - easy to replace sunglasses but would
you be lost without a spare pair of prescription lenses?
- Safety
pins -
a hundred uses
- Travel
clock - in case you need to get up early to catch
a train, plane or make an early start to avoid the crowds
- Torch with
fresh batteries - lots of uses
- Travel
scrabble / cards -
impromptu entertainment - great for breaking the ice in a
youth hostel!
- Tissues
... if
not for you, for the kid next to you with the runny nose
or sticky fingers
- umbrella can
be a hindrance - especially in crowded places.
- Various
sized Glad bags for fruit (squashed
banana in your backpack is NOT fun), for leftovers, damp
clothes, messy things.
- Wet
wipes -
instant hygiene and ideal for after lunch clean up.

WHY
YOU SHOULD BOOK WITH US
We
save you the time and effort of calling several different companies
to find the best rate and vehicle to suit your needs. We
have the largest selection of any company worldwide. We
are expert niche specialists.
Did you know???
That the price you see is not always the price you end up paying?
You have to consider Taxes - are they included or not?
One way fees - they can
vary by hundreds of dollars between companies. When you need a one way
rental, we automatically check every company we represent to find the
best one way fee. Why call nine companies
when one call to us does it for you...
Petrol or diesel? -
We know which is best! The cost of fuel? - We
know that too...
CDW & PAI & SLI...you
get offered these -Do
you know which you need
and which you don't? We
do.
Some
companies have a minimum/maximum
age -
some charge extra if
you fall into this category. We
know which do and which
don't.
Some
cars & motorhomes
can go into Eastern European
countries -
some can't.
Only cars from certain countries can enter Eastern Europe. We
know the answer to both.
A second driver fee can be $10
per day... some allow it free - same with airport
/ city / station fee. Guess who
know this too !!
Do
I need an International Drivers Permit... If
you have a drivers licence in English eg. Australian, New Zealand,
USA etc you do not need an International Drivers permit.
If your licence is in a foreign language, we do recommend that you get
an International Drivers Permit

TIPS
for DRIVING IN EUROPE
1. If your
rental is under 21 days - car rental is generally more cost effective
than leasing.
2. Car rental
prices vary from country to country - so a slight adjustment
of your starting point can save you heaps eg. a 1.4 L Megane
picked up in Spain would cost you Australian $60 per day but
just go across the border to France and you will pay Australian
$45 per day for that same car !
3. If you
are under 25 - avoid paying the young driver surcharge which
can be an Australian $25 per day by doing a car lease.
4. If you
want a minibus, an automatic vehicle or need a vehicle for more
than 28 days - look at car leasing which is the tax free program
which is sanctioned by the French government to encourage tourism.
Leasing includes absolutely everything with no additional driver
fees, airport fees and even the comprehensive insurance does
not have an excess. Cars can be leased for up to 175 days with
prices starting from Australian $24 a day per car. Have a look
at
Car
Leasing in Europe. We are the only operator that offers
leasing with all three companies that offers leasing.
5. Do all
that is possible to get a diesel vehicle as diesel can cost up
to a third less than petrol in some countries. Note that with
a rental car - you most often will receive a petrol driven car.
With leasing you can order a diesel car.
6. If you
are taking a rental car - the insurance which is included, does
come with an excess of approximately Australian $1,000 and whilst
you could take out excess reduction waivers at the car counter
- do check your travel insurance policy as quite a few of them
offer "Rental vehicle insurance excess cover" - which
means you don't have to take out those waivers as your travel
insurance will cover this. Travel
Insurance Quote for a quick quote.
7.
If on a budget, consider taking a Motorhome instead of a
car. This would be your accommodation and transport in one
and you can save so much by cooking your own food and making
your own sandwich lunches. See Motorhome
Hire in Europe for comprehensive info. Motorhomes are
offered in 19 countries.
8. Car hire & Motorhomes
are often priced on a seasonal basis whereby the pick up date
determines the rate for the entire rental so if you want a car
on 30 September - it may be worthwhile to wait one day and start
on 01October when the rates drop.
9. If you
do a fly/drive package - you often get the car or airfare at
a reduced rate. Have a look at www.europeshoppe.com.au
10. Lastly
- most companies in Europe charge an airport fee - in some places
like Italy, this can as high as 14% of your TOTAL hire cost,
so consider taking a taxi to a downtown location and avoiding
the fee. Incidentally, airport drop off's do not incur the airport
fee.
11. Want to
travel to Eastern Europe eg. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic
and your car hire company won't allow it? Start in Germany or
Austria and you can or alternatively, lease a car. They allow
it with full insurance and no excess.
