for chaep and cheerful ,i use brisbane rent a car,their website is Cheap Car Rental in Brisbane with Airport pick-up ,,they are just otuside the airport so cheaper than most ,they collect you from arrivals and take you to their offices (5 mins away) to do the paperwork and collect your car,hope this helps a bit

Hi we found Avis to be one of the cheapest when you looke at adding the excess insurance (which if you don't add makes you liable for the first $3K approx). They charge you for underdamage which can be quite common in car parks. Also Avis give unlimited milage and doesn't charge for named drivers.

Cheers

We used East Coast Car Rentals but found that their service was very poor and I would suggest that you give them a body-swerve!!!

Finding a good car rental in Brisbane can be a tough job. I think my friend did choose East Coast Car Rental too and weren't satisfied either.
