About East Coast Car Rentals' History and Success

Humble Beginnings in Surfers Paradise

East Coast is a family owned and operated business operating on the Gold Coast since 1979. We are the largest independent Queensland Car Rental company that takes pride in offering you a choice of new and near new, clean and tidy vehicles (ALL Air-conditioned). We offer friendly, professional service, baby and booster seats, maps and suggest itineraries.

Car Hire Services in Queensland and Beyond

East Coast invites you on a self drive tour to see Queensland, covering the beautiful award winning beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast and Byron Bay in the South, through to the Tropics of Port Douglas, Cairns and Mission Beach in the Far North. With our large areas of use and servicing locations which include Brisbane Airport, Brisbane City, Cairns Airport, Cairns City, Coolangatta, Gold Coast Airport, Surfers Paradise, Sunshine Coast Airport and Adelaide, whatever your wish, we can put you in the right direction in comfort and at the right rate.

East Coast Car Rentals provides complementary Airport transfers that are not subject to the Airport Taxes that currently apply (add approx. 13% to TOTAL HIRE!) when collecting a vehicle from the Airports. We are recognised as the largest LICENSED OFF-AIRPORT CAR RENTAL Company in QLD with Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), Cairns Airport Limited and also Gold Coast Airport Limited (GCAL) licenses. Please consider many operators offer this service but operate without authority or license. Hire with a well established, reputable company and really enjoy your holiday!

Opening Our Melbourne Airport and Melbourne City Offices

In 2009 we moved our operation into Victoria with offices at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport (car hire Melbourne Airport) and also in Melbourne's CBD (car hire Melbourne). This expansion now gives us the ability to offer our customers even more choice and convenience when renting inter-state as we take our unbeatable, guaranteed not to be beaten prices to the Southern States.

Opening Our First Office in Mascot, Sydney, New South Wales

In early 2010, our first Sydney Airport car hire office opened a stone's throw from the domestic terminal. A brand new fleet of vehicles plus the ability to service customers within minutes of arrival has proved another success. Our customers absolutely love it!

Opening Our First Office in Hilton, Adelaide, South Australia

As part of our expansion plan and continuing effort of serving our customers better, we have opened our first branch in Adelaide in December 2011. For car hire in Adelaide or car rental close to Adelaide Airport, customers will be able to enjoy the same great rates and rental cars from this new office of ours.
