Hi,

Paul is going to the Gold Coast next week for a couple of weeks to check out schools, neighbourhoods etc, we booked his car rental through Harvey World travel here who got us a good price though holidayautos.co.uk ours is with 'Red Spot Australia' who have an outlet at Coolangatta airport if that's where you're flying into. When we were looking into it we found the major car hire co's in the UK also have depots out there such as Hertz so its worth just to 'Google' car hire in Australia.

Where abouts are you hoping to settle?? We are looking at Mudgeeraba/Robina/Burleigh Heads area.

We've just booked a rented car online (still in Scotland just now), with eastcoastcarrentals, was to be the best price we could get.
