KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Marcoola

  • Hiring a car is cheaper than paying taxi fares to every destination you want. Marcoola car hire allows you to fully explore the city, even in remote areas where public transport is unavailable. A car is convenient and saves time, as you won't have to wait for the arrival or departure of a bus. You can also make as many stops as you want and enjoy sightseeing. Moreover, with a car, you are flexible to drive to the nearby cities or attractions out of Marcoola, like visiting Mount Coolum National Park.
  • After you land at Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY), head straight to the hire car facilities and get on the road sooner. The car hire desks are in the arrivals area, near the luggage claim. Some car hire companies with desks here are Avis, Enterprise, Budget and Hertz. You will pick up your car from the car park just a few minutes from the terminal. You may also book your car online in advance through KAYAK and pick it up at the airport.
  • Drive your car hire in Marcoola on the left side and pass on the right. Using a car horn is rare except during emergencies. Most drivers in Marcoola give a thank you wave after you have given them the way or let them pass, and it is expected that you will do the same if you are helped out. Pedestrians always have the right of way, regardless of where you are in Marcoola.
  • Always keep yourself updated about the roads in Marcoola before you start your journey, as some roads may be closed due to community events, floods or other disasters like bushfires, trees over the road or landslips. During rush hours, you may encounter traffic on the city roads. The roads leading to Marcoola Beach are loopy and twist over mountains and ridges, and can be challenging to manoeuvre for a novice driver.
  • Full-size hire cars in Marcoola are around 72% more expensive than other car types, on average

I was bitterly disappointed when I returned the vehicle in Brisbane after hiring it for 24 hours and suddenly got charged for 2 days instead of 1. I arrived on site and the lady at reception was very friendly and understanding when I mentioned I forgot to fill up with fuel (I’m not from here and it was very stressful with the amount of traffic in Brisbane). She suggested I go and fill up down the road while she took a photo of the key holder to check me in early. At most I was an hour late, which wasn’t even mentioned at drop off. Then I received the invoice via email for 2 day's hire? Come on, I am a return client and this is how we got treated? The guy that took over when I got back was rude and wasn’t willing to hear me out when I was explaining the above. Not happy at all

Simple and clear instructions on how to pick up the hire car e.g. pickup address or phone number to book the airport van airport pickup, as it took us 30 minutes to work out what to do and for them to answer the phone to organise the airport pickup. It would be easier to let them know our flight number and get them to check and pick us up when we landed, rather than having to call them or to provide a map of the pickup site which is quite close to the airport. An email with the following information would have been great: 1. Phone number to organise pickup 2. Car rental address and map 3. Information re insurance when the booking is done via other websites, so we know we have an option to organise insurance directly with them Thanks

Pick up was easy, friendly greeting and welcome from Karen and Clare was also very friendly on drop off. Our driver to take us from drop off to airport was friendly and professional. My wife left her handbag in the mini bus and Clare called to advise and our driver brought it back to us at the airport. Extremely grateful.
