There are also a number of smaller motor vehicle hire operations offering rent a car with car hire rates that are very favourable with some of the big names. Some of these car rental places may be local businesses, but as in all hire car agreements, you should make sure you read the small print. It more often then not, is advisable to ensure you take out hire car insurance.

Then to provide even more options, there are sites that provide a selection of rent a car from across the major rental brands, enabling you to do a price comparison for car hire rates across the major brands. If you are looking for the cheapest car hire, a bit of research and effort on your part, should reveal what and who offers the best car hire deals.

For those looking at hiring a vehicle for off road travel, make sure that you check the terms and conditions for travelling off-road or on dirt roads, as there can be clauses that exclude or limit off-road and dirt road travel in the providers hire vehicles. Also, some hire companies may restrict driving on outback roads at dust and night.
