Once you have decided to take a rental from one of the companies that offer van hire services on The Gold Coast, it’s time to try and get the best discounted price possible.

Consider these things to help to find the right Price

  • Off Peak Rental Times

If you can be flexible in the times you want to rent the van you can generally find a well discounted price. Often the weekend and long public holidays are not the best times as that I when the demand is highest. Often rental companies will give a good discount for overnight rentals if you can do the job then. You pick up the van just before the company closes and return it early the next morning as they open

  • Discount Travel Ticket Sellers

Most companies that specialise in finding cheap airfares offers as a sideline, cheap van rentals, some offer 35 to 70% off the standard rate if you buy through them, usually online using your credit card.

  • Book Early

By making a hire booking your well in advance of the date you will be needing the van means that you can often negotiate a bargain price, especially if you’re planning your rental at an off peak time. Most hire companies will even allow you to change the dates if you give plenty of advance notice. Not only will this give you a substantial discount, but you can be sure the van you require will be available and you do not have to make do with something that is not ideal for your needs.

If you find a better deal, you always have the option of canceling your booking without incurring any charges within 24 hours of the hire date, so you cannot lose.

  • Local Van Hire Firms

Large national and multinational fire companies can be very set in their requirements and pricing structures, so securing a good bargain from them can often be very difficult.

If you talk with the friendly guys at some of the locally owned and operated Van hire service on The Gold Coast you will find their companies are high on customer services and will go out of their way to ensure that your hire experience with them is enjoyable and hassle free. They are able to negotiate a rental deal that is tailored to requirements.

Most local van hire services on The Gold Coast have streamlined their hire process that is easy to understand and fill out. They offer the standard lowest priced insurance and recognise that most people also have additional insurance cover via their credit cards, life and home policies.

You can also negotiate a good deal on extras like child seat restraints, roof racks, pick up and drop off arrangements’

  • Model of Choice

Most companies offer new or near new vehicles, but sometimes hiring an older vehicle to do a moving job would suit you better at a discounted price.

Making an early booking, especially at a local Van hire service on The Gold Coast where you can negotiate a good discounted deal for the vehicle you require is often best. If you are out of town, then look for rental discounts offered from companies that sell airline travel tickets.
