Cheap East Coast Rentals Car Hire in Canberra

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

When hiring a car in Canberra, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like East Coast Rentals. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before concluding your car hire in Canberra, confirm the exact drop-off location with East Coast Rentals. This will save you time and help avoid any confusion at the end of your rental period.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

When hiring a car in Canberra, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, East Coast Rentals charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs
