Our Mates Rates Fleet is all about unbeatable value without compromising on peace of mind. These vehicles may be a few years older or have clocked up a few more kilometres than our standard fleet, but they’ve still got plenty of road trips left in them. Each car is meticulously maintained to East Coast’s signature safety and cleanliness standards, so while you might not be in the latest model, you’ll still enjoy a reliable, comfortable ride at a fraction of the price.
This budget-friendly option is perfect for travellers who don’t mind an older car if it means more money in their pocket for the things that really matter, like food, fuel, and fun!
Whether you’re heading down the coast for a weekend or zipping around town, our Mates Rates fleet will get you from A to B (and back again) without a worry in the world.
To keep costs low, these vehicles come with 100km per day included. Planning to go the distance? No worries, simply top up your kilometres during the booking process with affordable prepaid packages in 100km or 500km blocks. It’s flexibility that fits your plans and your budget.
Want a little more peace of mind? Upgrade to our Mates Rates Bundle, which includes zero excess, windscreen and tyre cover. plus an additional 50km per day.
The Mates Rates Bundle is currently available through our Reservations Team or at the counter, with online booking coming soon.
Please note: our Mates Rates cars are subject to availability and can be booked as a prepaid option via our website or through the Reservations Team. They’re not available through third party booking sites, so if you see one online, be quick to lock it in!
