Rent a vehicle from Brisbane city or airport and return it to Sydney or Melbourne city or airport for just $9.95 a day! This low rate includes GST, vehicle registration recovery fee, administration recovery fee and unlimited kilometres!
Minimum rental period is 1 day and maximum rental period is 7 days.
biggest car is lancer? too many restrictions… however, indeed it's cheap
It;s Just that they have too many cars at Brisi airport and want to move it interstate without paying the Freight…So you drive it there….It's a Win Win situation for everyone.
Not Really! coz..
Car Rental - $10 per day but you will keep it atleast for 2 days = $20
Petrol Cost - 2 tanks = $90 (assuming a 45Lt tank)
(It take 1.5 tanks from Brisbane to Sydney but since u return it with full tank thats why I calculated 2 tanks)
Plus extra insurance coz you dont want to take the chance of driving interstate without excess reduction coz without it u pay $1360 excess.
Total Spend - $100+ approx
I think One Way Flight is Cheaper!
Yeah but if you are a bunch of backpackers…
Yeah true! Good deal for a bunch of backpackers!! Agreed with greenpossum!
as already said…. for 1 person not worth it. but for a family or group, pretty damn cheap!
Does it include petrol ???
.. asks a true bargain-hunter.
Normally 1 full tank.
Yeah but you have to return it full too, so you pay for your use.
You'll probably find it on the paper rental agreement that you have to sign.
well, since it's all down hill from Brisbane to Melbourne, maybe one tank will be enough ?
haha! yes!! Half tank should be more than enough!!
rofl. downhill from Brisbane to Melbourne. hehe
This sounds nothing more than re-locating.
yeah, it's a "win-win"…
smart thinking thrifty…
Those who doesn't know about (kinda) free re-locating program. Google for it like "standbyrelocations" Some vehicles includes $$$ free fuel as well.
Bargain!!! standbyrelocations
Great price. Good for backpackers heading south. Do NRMA members get their usual discount? (NRMA owns Thrifty.)
Good for people who want to visit friends/relatives/places along the way that are not near airports. It takes around 20 hours non stop, so you have 6 full days to play with. Otherwise probably cheaper to fly.
Yeah, maybe cheaper to fly, but good luck getting the plane to stop anywhere you want as you take your time and visit a crap load of places on the way to Melbourne over the 6 days or so. Hah, hah.
Big pos from me :D
this is a good deal, however i had rented from thrifty before and they charge u like crazy with admin fees for infringement fees, beware of that
or you could just not get any infringements :).
Great deal going to send it to a friend of mine.
They are getting a free driver :)
Maybe since the floods and cyclone Yasi Thrifty trying to get all their rental cars back to the southern states using drivers who will pay them $9.95 a day?
Great bargain. Wish I was there!
