Hire Cars in Brisbane or Gold Coast Airports?

[The_Hawk]

When do entries cut off? I'm yet to confirm and book everything...

The other question is when the gates close for entrants since I would be getting into the airport at ~8am then, picking up a car then driving across so wouldn't be there till after 9am depending on exact flights and traffic.

says cars parked by 9am... not sure... try contacting rosmarie and tony (VR6 Pitcrew)...

Hertz have A3s & 4s, as well as Merc CLK200C from Brisbane Airport. You can get them from Coolangatta but from memory theres a premium. The standard rates are a little over the top though.

I've seen a Superb with a Europcar sticker on the back, so much VAG floating around the rental world.

Entering a hired car in a car show...

Will be good to see you there. There are the Audi's and Mercs as someone said, not sure what they cost though (but then again, if you think about the petrol it would cost to drive the vr6 up (if thats what you would bring) it'll probably still work out cheaper anyway hah)

It's ~950km each way, call it 2,000km by the time I bugger around a little bit.

On a trip the VR is down under 9L/100km so ~180L of fuel.
At ~$1.50 / L for 98 that's $270 in fuel.

Add in accommodation and it actually works out to be similar money to fly up and hire a car… although I DO like road trips… Just have to have a closer look at and fix the cruise control again (not that it's a deal breaker ).



As for putting a hire car in a car show… it's more about the sweet parking (That and I don't mind supporting the scene and throwing in a few extra $$ to help keep these sorts of things going).
