People as young as 19yrs and over 80yrs old can drive our cars. There are some restrictions for drivers not yet 21yrs of age and those who are over 79yrs of age, both in vehicle selection and area of use (Greater Gold Coast area only).
For drivers between 21yrs and 24yrs there is no "daily surcharge" compared with 25yr to 79yr old drivers, nor is there any vehicle restriction. Area of use options are the same as for 25yr to 79yr old drivers. However the Insurance Excess requirements and MaxiSafe excess reduction cost as well as Security Bond requirements are different. Please refer to our webpages headed "INSURANCE" and "SECURITY BONDS".
We have had to negotiate special insurance arrangements to accommodate under 21yrs and over 79yrs and our insurers require prior notice, so please do not expect to be able to ring up and get a car straight away - best to give us at least a couple of days' notice, but you can book months in advance if you wish.
We are required by our insurers to provide a "profile" of the driver and any associates, so please expect to be asked some questions. With these drivers, pricing is a bit different; the rental rate is $10 per day higher than is the case for 21-79yr drivers and MaxiSafe insurance excess reduction is about $2 per day higher. Please refer to our webpages headed "INSURANCE" and "SECURITY BONDS" for detailed information.
We provide an online quoting and booking request system for 21-79yr drivers, we ask that others make their contact with us by telephone so that we can meet the requirements of our insurance company. Please refer to our "CONTACT" page for phone numbers.
Where a rental is contemplated with drivers in more than one of our age groupings, the pricing, insurance and security requirements will be on the "worst case" basis.
