Cheap Car Rental FAQs

How do you rent cars at such low prices?

Many car rental companies only offer near-new vehicles that have high acquisition/financing costs – costs that they pass onto you, the driver.

We’re the opposite. When you’re looking for cheap car rentals, you don’t need frills like leather seats, Apple Play, and cruise control. You’re after a reliable vehicle to get you from A to B as cost-effectively as possible – and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Our fleet is made up of base-model hatchbacks and sedans from manufacturers like Toyota, Hyundai and Suzuki. Instead of only using vehicles made in the last 2 years (like some of our competitors), we focus on choosing models built for reliability (which also helps keep our insurance costs down).

Each vehicle is serviced in accordance with manufacturer standards by qualified mechanics and safety-certified by an independent examiner at least once every 12 months.

How old do I need to be to hire one of your cars?

You must be aged 21–80 and hold an open driver’s license to hire a Cheapie car. Our insurance policy means we can’t rent to anyone aged under 21 or over 80.

How many kilometres can I drive per day for free?

Each booking comes with 80 free kilometres per day (600 kilometres per week). Additional kilometres will be tallied when you return your car and charged at 10 cents per kilometre.

What counts as damage versus fair wear and tear?

We follow the Australian Finance Industry Association’s Car Rental Code of Practice. Always check your rental agreement for fair wear and tear inclusions and exclusions as they apply to your vehicle.

Do you require a security deposit?

Yes. When you pick up your car, we’ll charge a security deposit to your credit card. After you return your car on time, damage-free, and with a full tank of fuel. We typically take 5–7 business days to refund in case you’ve been issued a fine or toll charge. The deposit is then paid to a bank account of your choosing.
