    Hire Cars in Brisbane or Gold Coast Airports?

    I'm looking at heading up to QLD for the Oxenford show in a few weeks and am looking at my options.

    While I would normally just drive there and back, I'm looking at just flying up for the day instead then hiring a car to get there and back. It seems Oxenford is about half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast so either will be fine.

    But to the important part, I'm looking for something different to drive for the day rather than the Getz and Commodores that most seem to offer.

    I have found a nice Audi A5 2.0 Cab that could be a bit of fun and in the spirit of the weekend. There is also a Mini Cooper S Cabrio which might be something different...

    Anyone know of any interesting alternatives??

    Good work on planning to come up, great dedication. I'd suggest the A5 because hopefully this car could count towards our overall total number and hopefully will get us across the line and win best represented club.

    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.

    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.

    My point exactly. Then when you consider that's 2000km closer to a service and tyres ect, flying and hiring a fancy car no only saves you a day of driving, but probably works out cheaper too.

    Would be amusing if the hire car won an award.. haha
