Hiring a rental car can be fraught with dangers to the uninitiated. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous car hire companies have tarnished the industry by overcharging hire car clients with exorbitant or ridiculous fees.
In short, these types of hire car companies have been taking us all for a ride for some time!
But all is not lost. There are ethical Brisbane and Gold Coast car hire companies who put their clients first over greed and at Surfers Rent A Car, we are proud to say we are one of them.
