Hi,
Can anyone provide any suggestions on how to get a discount on car rental in Uluru/ Ayers Rock ? We are not too fussed with the type of car and would also be OK with compact/ hatchback version.
I have tried to look for discounts but havnt been able to find any.
Sorry .. i should have mentioned.. my travel dates are in Feb and there is heaps of availability but no discounts :(
As others have mentioned it is a very closed economy so everything is expensive.
They don’t really need to discount. There is a limited number of cars there and they will get booked out. Demand is higher than supply.
I would think the likely way for any discount is going really off peak and booking last minute. But then you run the risk of not getting one at all…
Roadtrip up there, it's a really worthwhile trip.
We just have 4 days and 3 nights and flights have already been booked.. Does anyone know if can purchase some kind of vouchers for hertz/ thrifty/avis online at a discount?
They often have promotions, sign up to their mailing lists and wait it out.
i went there recently and they didn't have any "cleaned" cars, we got it for $160 instead of $180 haha
I visited Uluru last month and got a car with Avis. I wanted a Mitsubishi ASX but they upgraded me to a Prado. Umm, nice, but the car burns far more fuel (10L/100km in highway driving) and wasted quite a bit of money.
Also Avis Ayers Rock Airport overcharged me for extra distance traveled. Charged $136 instead of $96. I sent a complaint to Avis almost 2 weeks ago but so far no response.
Not gonna save much anyway for 3-4 days, pay up or walk, that's how the locals used to do it, you want the real experience.
With the last days of climbing Uluru everything is at max capacity.
