I phoned to change the

I phoned to change the time for pick up and return of the car. It was not a good experience. I was told I could not do it and encouraged to book an up grade. I wanted to change my booking and return by 4 hours from 10.00am to 2.oo pm. I was told it was not possible to change it. I was told a car would not be available. I said I would take the risk and ended up in cancelling my booking and then re booking on line. Not helpful. I almost did not use your site to re book.

We booked a Yaris or similar, but on arrival were allocated a larger Hyundai Accent which was too large for my wife to drive. ECCR at Hobart apparently have very few Yaris-sized cars. Fortunately we were going to be passing nearby a few days later so were able to substitute the Accent for a smaller Kia Rio for the rest of our trip, but Carrentals need to check more carefully what sort of cars are actually available - size does matter, and a bigger car than you've booked isn't necessarily acceptable to all customers.

Good range of vehicles available

Good range of vehicles available. The main problem was lack of information about the additional cost of a one-way hire. When you initially enter details of the desired hire, your website shows the same price as for returning to the same location. Only when you proceed with the actual booking does the additional one-way hire fee appear. This is seriously misleading.

Guide

Lying between Cairns and Brisbane in the state of Queensland, is the tiny town of Airlie Beach. Witness amazing views across Pioneer Bay and the Whitsunday Passage of the Coral Sea during your travels. Airlie Beach is a small community with life revolving around the beach and the marina by day, and the bars and restaurants by night. We compare quotes for car hire in Airlie Beach. Be prepared for your holiday and book online in advance. Its the best way to travel around this sparse area.

Explore Airlie Beach

The main reason people come here is to hop aboard sailboat charters to the magnificent Whitsunday islands. Spending several days aboard former world-class yachts, cruising these gorgeous tropical islands is an unforgettable treat and berths can be arranged in the town. However, it also has developed a reputation for partying.

There is a very large artificial beachfront lagoon, providing good swimming, set in four hectares of botanic gardens. There is also a children's pool, along with barbecues, picnic area and toilet amenities.

Although it is only comprised of a few blocks, the town provides a great selection of decent accommodation, a few charming restaurants and bars, shops, and facilities such as banks and also a supermarket.

Mangrove Jack's Café Bar is a popular place for a night out on the town. It offers a casual and upbeat atmosphere.

Shute Harbour, 11kms from Airlie Beach, is one of Queensland's busiest ports. The Lions Lookout is a great place to enjoy a panoramic view of the area. North of the Whitsundays is Dunk Island and the rainforest settlement of Mission Beach. Townsville, a delightful port city, is at the start of the Great Green Way; a region of natural beauty on the way to Cairns.

The Great Barrier Reef is a major attraction for anyone in the area, so why not have a go at SCUBA diving.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
