Perhaps the best thing about this area is its ability to please absolutely everyone.

There are activities for outdoor lovers, action junkies and families.. Having your own rental car gives you the freedom to come and go as you please with a moments notice. You never know what you might choose to do on any given day the options are endless. This is why our car hire surfers paradise services are so important to your holiday and your itinerary.

Given its name, surfing is, of course the order of the day here in Surfers Paradise. You can take lessons, head out on your own, or join a group lesson for a bit of fun. Consider going fishing, or on a dinner cruise.

If golf is your interest, consider heading off to a golf course to play a few holes - there are 40 to choose from in this outdoor paradise.

There are more than 70 km of beaches, so there’s plenty of space to just hang on the beach without being crowded. From the beach, you can people watch, check out the activities on the water, and plan your evening or next day of activity.

If you have kids with you go out and have fun at Sea World or Dreamworld. Who knows? The kids might even enjoy a visit to the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum.

The Wax Museum is also a popular draw, though there’s are a few sections of the museum that is a bit graphic - perhaps a better option for teenagers and adults. The celebrity section is always a big win.

At the end of the day, when you’ve had enough with sightseeing and outdoor activities, take in the Gold Coast nightlife.

Having your own car will give you the freedom and flexibility you desire as you explore this beautiful area of Queensland.

While there is an excellent bus system or you could hire a taxi having your own car gives you the freedom to come and go as you wish and to take in everything at your own speed.

Hiring a car, ensures that you can carry your own items with you. That is, if you plan to surf (this is Surfer’s Paradise, after all), and you have your own board, you can pop it on the car and head to the beach. If you take the bus, you might end up renting your board, which also works, but might not be the way you want to do things.

The advantage of hiring a car and having a bit more control over your own transportation is that you can head to the beach in the morning and Sea World in the afternoon, all on your own timetable.

If you’re staying in a hotel, it might be helpful to know that many offer free parking. You’ll pay for valet parking in most cases but you’ll maintain the freedom that’s so desirable on on holiday.

Best of all, if you plan to stay overnight in more than one location in Surfer’s Paradise, you can easily load up your car, and head to the next location. If you are relying on bus or taxi transportation (the most expensive option), packing up and heading to the next location is much more of a hassle and usually much more cramped!

This can be difficult when you don’t have your own personal transport and why hiring your own car can be so important.
If you’re thinking of hiring a car whilst on holiday, there are a few things you should consider beforehand.

Firstly, if your holiday is going to be in summer, consider the advantage of getting a convertible. A convertible is a fantastic way to add a bit of extra excitement and luxury to your getaway, although a rare summer rain is possible, they aren’t very common and never last long.

Think about what features are important to you when you drive a car. Are you bringing the family? If this is a consideration for you perhaps getting a larger vehicle that will accommodate everyone easily, like a tarago van or even a minibus is the best option.

If you are planning on spending a lot of your time behind the wheel, make sure that the car of your choice is large enough for everyone to fit into, plus take into account luggage, snacks and other essentials. You might have to spend a bit more to ensure maximum comfort, but this is your holiday after all, you don’t want to be cramped and uncomfortable!

Other features that might be important to think about when choosing the perfect car hire Surfers Paradise for your holiday could include:

Performance

Like a car that goes fast? Hire a car that has a little power under the hood and help you get to your next destination a little faster.

Navigation systems

What are you like with directions? Do you need someone to tell you where to go? A car with a navigation GPS system might be the answer.

Booster seats

Do you have babies or small children? If you require a baby seat for your hire car, the friendly staff at Cutprice Car Rentals will be happy to help you out.

Always remember that if you need extras with your vehicle, book ahead and let our staff know what you require. This way you’ll be guaranteed the exact vehicle to eet your requirements.
