Rental Cars

Hiring a rental car is one of the best ways to get around the Gold Coast if you are here on holiday. The public transport system on the Goldy is growing and will easily get you to one of the beautiful beaches, but many of the great activities like theme parks, Gold Coast Hinterland and Southern Gold Coast are not well connected... yet! Hire a GPS or use your smartphone to help you get around the Gold Coast and see things in your own time and at your own pace. The roads are in good condition and well-signposted, so you should have no trouble navigating your way around.

You can hire a car from the Coolangatta airport, but we recommend booking your Gold Coast rental car in advance so you don't have to wait so much at the airport. 

Compare prices on a wide variety of vehicles using VroomVroomVroom and get the best deal! You will also have the option to add things like child seats and boosters during the reservation process.
