Summer is nearly here and it’s the perfect time to grab a cheap flight, fly somewhere else in Australia and take a road trip. Hiring a rental car from an airport is so convenient and a great way to be able to see a completely different part of our beautiful country. Here are eight reasons to rent a car on your summer holiday this year.

Freedom

Relying on public transport when you’re away from your home city can be a pain in the backside. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to discover. Fly in, drive away, and squeeze in a visit to as many spots as possible!

Privacy

Obviously you have many more options to be yourself when you’re travelling in a rental car. No one needs to know you like to sing loudly to American power ballads -  and you can eat that whole packet of chips or Tim Tams away from judgey eyes if you’re not on public transport.

Space

If you’re a big family, hiring a large vehicle means it’s easier to get you all from A to B to C to D. We all know what it’s like traveling in two cars and trying to follow the other half of the family, who’ve long forgotten you’re behind them. Enjoy your own space, and travel at your own pace.

See more, for less 

Public transport and taxi costs can add up. Hiring a car can often be a cheaper option if you check out the best deals in advance. See more of your destination and save money.

Escape your usual set of wheels

Sick of your car and all its ‘eccentric quirks’? It’s so liberating to drive a more modern vehicle for a few days so you can pretend you don’t own something that should have gone out with your nineties fashion sense.

More hours in your day

While it can be a novelty using public transport in another city, you often lose time waiting for buses and trains. Hiring a car gives you more time to do fun things. All those half hours soon add up!

Secret spots

There are some places you just can’t get to by train or bus. A car gives you the opportunity to hit up all those off-the-beaten-track spots for the ultimate jealousy-inducing holiday pics.

Go Green

Hiring a car is your chance to tread a bit lighter on holiday. Rent an electric vehicle to do your bit for the environment in your destination city. It’s also a great chance to road test the concept if you’re thinking of getting one yourself.
