  2. Whether you are moving people or your household, van hire services on The Gold Coast can provide you with the van you need, but there are some easy to make mistakes that can prove expensive. For personal use, most people like to stretch the dollar as far as possible. Consider these tips to avoid rental mistakes:

  3. Avoid making rental arrangements at the airport • The airport is usually the most expensive place to arrange for your rental van bookings because of the high cost of business space at airports and the associated taxes, all of which you have to pay for. A quick google check will show the different costs at other locations for the same service.

  4. 2. Check rice, Rental structures • Often the daily and weekly rates can be quite different, longer you keep the van the cheaper the daily rate will be. An example is a daily rate may be $62 but if you take a week’s contract for 5 days the rate may drop to $28 per day so that it works out cheaper to rent for 5 days rather than 3 days. • Fuel is another area that can be a trap, usually, the tank is full and you have to bring it back full or you are charged the difference. Other companies will give you a half full tank and ask you to return it at the same level. This is a trap as it is very hard to estimate.

  5. 3. Give yourself Plenty of time • Some rental companies are very strict on return times and will charge you if you are late, so plan on getting there early. They can demand another day rental if your 30 minutes late

  6. 4. Overpriced Insurance • It always pays to check your insurance policies and see if they include rental vehicles, many credit cards, comprehensive household and private car policies also give rental cover, but check the conditions and take proof with you to the rental company. • Often rental companies will try and sell you their extra cover for safety and peace of mind. These are often very expensive and can almost double your expenses so be sure you need them. • Often the basic cover does not include medical expenses or liability for other so check carefully.

  7. 5. Assuming you get what you want • Especially in smaller centers and airports you may not get exactly what you want and will have to accept other options or have to wait until your van is ready. The guys at van hire services on The Gold Coast go out of their way to make sure you get what you require without any fuss.

  8. Always do a pre-rental inspection and notice things like scratches, body dents, stained or damaged upholstery, cracks in lights, mirrors and windows as if you don’t you could be charged for them. Common sense and planning can help you save a lot of money hen renting a van. Try and rent away from busy centers and airports and consider the best size of van to suit the job you have in mind and use your own existing insurance policies.
