We drive from Gold Coast to Airlie Beach and then back to Brisbane during our stay. Car was fine and didn’t let us down at all, I would recommend a bigger car as most people drive bigger cars in Australia. The islands are where we recommend most, Fraser Island and Whitsundays are a must.

Competitive rental charges, and hassle free rental
Competitive rental charges (Note - I have a separate annual excess insurance policy, so didn't use Goldcar excess insurance.) I received a free upgrade on pick up. Agents were very helpful at pick up. However not enough agents were on duty for the number of customers. Drop-off was very quick, all completed in two minutes. This was confirmed by email the following morning. Would definitely use Goldcar again.

The experience was amazing. Renting a car allows you to touch every place. Open and free time. An experience of seeing everything along the way and going everywhere. And a car also allows us to go to places that the bus cannot reach. For me it was an amazing experience and gave me a good step and courage for future trips. The car I rented was neat, clean, new and the staff was nice and courteous and the service was excellent and fast.

Extra fees displayed clearly
I like that the website displays more info e.g. cross-border fees, compared to some competitors. Also like that there is very small upfront payment. For these two reasons have switched from AutoEurope to DiscoverCars.
