Looking after the places worth the drive
We don’t rent cars just to get people from A to B.
We rent them because road trips are one of the best ways to experience Australia. The winding coastal roads. Country bakeries. Hidden beaches. National parks. Those little towns you only find because you decided to take the long way home.
That’s why looking after the places we send people matters.
We’re not here to make big claims or throw around buzzwords. We’re just focused on making practical changes that have a real impact—for our customers, our communities and the places we all love exploring.
A greener fleet that’s already on the road
Today, over 20% of our Queensland fleet is either hybrid or electric, these aren’t future targets. They’re cars sitting in our branches right now, ready for your next trip.
Thinking about going electric?
Whether you’re curious about an EV or prefer the flexibility of a hybrid, we’ve made it easy to choose.
Take a look at our Electric Fleet and see what’s available for your next adventure.
Every fleet renewal is a step forward
As we continue to grow and refresh our fleet, we’re making smarter choices too.
Our commitment is simple. At least 10% of every new vehicle purchase will be fully electric, and 50% will be hybrid.
That means every time we replace vehicles, our fleet becomes a little cleaner than it was before.
Proud partners of the Starlight Children’s Foundation
Some journeys mean a little more.
We’re proud national partners of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, helping provide the vehicles that make life-changing wishes possible for seriously ill children and their families.
Knowing one of our cars can play a small part in creating memories that last a lifetime is something we’re incredibly proud of.
Looking after our people
Great customer experiences start long before you pick up the keys.
They start with the people behind the counter.
That’s why we invest heavily in our team through structured training, dedicated coaching and genuine career opportunities. We want East Coast Car Rentals to be somewhere people build careers, not just work shifts.
When our people feel supported, our customers notice the difference.
Travel like a local
A great road trip isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how you travel once you get there.
A few simple things can make a big difference:
- Support local businesses whenever you stop. The bakery, the café, the local pub or tour operator all help keep regional communities thriving.
- Respect the places you visit. Stay on marked tracks, follow local signs and leave gates exactly as you found them.
- Leave no trace. Take your rubbish with you, respect wildlife and leave every destination just as beautiful for the next traveller.
