Do you offer long-term van rentals in the Gold Coast?
Yes! Long-term van rentals are available, ideal for extended holidays or work projects over 30 days. Flexible monthly rates apply, with options to swap vehicles or extend bookings if needed.
Are there age restrictions for hiring a van?
Drivers must be at least 21 years old and hold a full, unrestricted licence. Young drivers aged 21-25 can rent without paying additional surcharges at Bargain Car Rentals.
Is insurance included with my van rental?
Yes, basic insurance is included with all van rentals from the Gold Coast. Optional upgrades are available to reduce the excess for extra peace of mind. Always review the policy before driving off.
What should I know about loading and securing surfboards, luggage, or equipment in a van?
- Always ensure your load is properly secured before driving.
- Use tie-downs or straps for surfboards, camping gear and luggage to prevent movement during transit.
- Distribute weight evenly to maintain vehicle stability and avoid overloading.
Whether moving your life or just equipment, properly secured items reduce the risk of damage, improve safety and help you enjoy a stress-free transfer in the Gold Coast.
Can I drive my rental van on unsealed or dirt roads near camping spots?
Our vans aren’t designed for extreme off-road conditions, so sticking to sealed roads ensures safety and prevents potential damage.
Are there height or width restrictions I should watch out for in car parks and drive-through areas?
Yes, vans are taller and wider than regular cars, so always check clearance signs in parking garages, drive-throughs and toll lanes. Pay attention to overhead obstacles, low ceilings and narrow lanes.
