Whether you are moving people or your household,
van hire services on The Gold Coast can provide
you with the van you need, but there are some
easy to make mistakes that can prove expensive.
For personal use, most people like to stretch the
dollar as far as possible. Consider these tips to
avoid rental mistakes

• Avoid making rental arrangements at the airport
• The airport is usually the most expensive place
  to arrange for your rental van bookings because
  of the high cost of business space at airports
  and the associated taxes, all of which you have
  to pay for. A quick google check will show the
  different costs at other locations for the same
  service.

2. Check rice, Rental structures Often the
daily and weekly rates can be quite different,
longer you keep the van the cheaper the daily
rate will be. An example is a daily rate may be
62 but if you take a weeks contract for 5 days
the rate may drop to 28 per day so that it works
out cheaper to rent for 5 days rather than 3
days. Fuel is another area that can be a trap,
usually, the tank is full and you have to bring
it back full or you are charged the difference.
Other companies will give you a half full tank
and ask you to return it at the same level. This
is a trap as it is very hard to estimate.

3. Give yourself Plenty of time Some rental
companies are very strict on return times and
will charge you if you are late, so plan on
getting there early. They can demand another day
rental if your 30 minutes late

4. Overpriced Insurance It always pays to check
your insurance policies and see if they include
rental vehicles, many credit cards, comprehensive
household and private car policies also give
rental cover, but check the conditions and take
proof with you to the rental company. Often
rental companies will try and sell you their
extra cover for safety and peace of mind. These
are often very expensive and can almost double
your expenses so be sure you need them. Often the
basic cover does not include medical expenses or
liability for other so check carefully.

5. Assuming you get what you want Especially in
smaller centers and airports you may not get
exactly what you want and will have to accept
other options or have to wait until your van is
ready. The guys at van hire services on The Gold
Coast go out of their way to make sure you get
what you require without any fuss.

Always do a pre-rental inspection and notice
things like scratches, body dents, stained or
damaged upholstery, cracks in lights, mirrors and
windows as if you dont you could be charged for
them.   Common sense and planning can help you
save a lot of money hen renting a van. Try and
rent away from busy centers and airports and
consider the best size of van to suit the job you
have in mind and use your own existing insurance
policies.
