Small and fun. That’s how we’d describe the Kia Rio.
Also with Apple Carplay and Reverse camera.
This hatchback is best for city driving and small trips, with a smooth shifting transmission and low fuel usage.
The ninth best-selling car in Australia, the Toyota Corolla is the perfect rental car: easy to use, cheap to run, and built for reliability.
It handles well on both highways and city streets and has a host of great safety features. With plenty of leg and head room and a boot that can fit a surprising amount of luggage, this compact vehicle is ideal for driving anywhere in South East Queensland.
The i20 is the smaller sibling of the more popular i30, but it still packs plenty of punch.
With decent torque and power, it’s suitable for driving in steeper regions like the Gold Coast hinterland and the Glasshouse Mountains.
It also handles well – perfect for quick lane changes and city parking.
All i20 models in our fleet have a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

Smaller than a Corolla but still built with Toyota durability, the Yaris is an excellent daily driver.
Passenger space might be limited, but, with fold-down back seats, fitting two adults and plenty of luggage in is simple.
Cruise around Brisbane, hit the GC’s beaches, or take day trips to the Northern Rivers – Toyota Yaris will get you there.

Go compact if it’s just you and a passenger – or browse our range of family sedans for groups of 4–5 travellers.
One-on-one meetings. Conferences. Site visits.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Brisbane and the Gold Coast on business – but none to pay extra for a new SUV or Euro car.

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 a cheap rental car, 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.
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.
To confirm, cancel or change your booking, give us a call or send us an email. You can cancel or change a booking free of charge up to 2 hours before your pick-up time.
If you do cancel or change your booking within 2 hours of pickup, your booking fee won’t be refunded.
Each short-term booking comes with 600 free kilometres per week. Additional kilometres will be tallied when you return your car and charged at 20 cents per kilometre.
