We don't say Lowest Price guarantee because sometimes
our prices may APPEAR higher but you have to carefully
check out the inclusions. We try and include as
much as possible in our rates so that you don't
have any 'big surprises' at the end of your rental.
Our quotes carefully spell out what is included
and what has to be paid at the start of your rental.
A
common mistake when clients compare rental rates
is that they don't read the inclusions carefully.
Sure, some companies say insurance is included but
what they omit to say is that it has an excess or
deductible of $3000 . We include Collision Damage
Waiver which reduces this to a more manageable figure
as standard. To buy this waiver will often cost
up to 12 Euros per day !
We
also include airport fees where we can - in Italy
for example some companies add 14% of the rental
rate. Other items to check for would be: Road Registration
fees, additional driver fees, city and sometimes
rail surcharges.

EMPLOYMENT
AT DRIVE TRAVEL
TRAVEL
- WHOLESALE Due
to unprecedented demand and continued rapid
growth in all of our
divisions, we are seeking additional experienced
and conscientious
members to join our dedicated team at our
head office here in Frankston,
Melbourne. Regular hours, or shift work,
available.
Excellent salary
package, which can include a company car,
and excellent working conditions.
We
are seeking Travel consultants, a person experienced
in selling
advertising online and a data input clerk.
We
are located opposite the railway station and
transport interchange
with the centre of town less than 3 minutes walk,
and the beach less
than 10 minutes walk. We can see the water from
the office!
This
is an exceptional opportunity for exceptional
people to join a
dynamic and exciting company and work with a great
team.
Calculator
- don't get ripped off with foreign exchange
conversions.
Duct
tape
- great as fluff remover; to seal a box if you
want to send excess
baggage home; wrap around a travel bag if the
zip breaks or as extra security
Lip
balm
- lips can dry out especially if you are not used
to being outdoors quite so much
Muesli
bars -
will keep you going until the next meal
Notebook
and pen...
handy especially for language barriers - draw
a picture - a bit like foreign pictionary! When
you don't know foreign numbers... at least you
can understand written prices & to make notes
of when and where you took that photo and to write
down details of new friends.
Pedometer
-
see how many km's you cover in a day
Pocket
knife - handy for cutting up an impromptu
picnic lunch
Plastic
plate or frisbee
- useful for your lunch, cutting your cheese,
salami, tomato etc and for playing with afterwards...fun
on the beach
Pre
printed address labels
- instead of taking your address book - just peel
and stick labels on your postcards
Plastic
poncho with hood
- looks dorky but at least your hands will be
free for taking photos etc whereas an umbrella
can be a hindrance - especially in crowded places.
Spare
spectacles - easy to replace sunglasses
but would you be lost without a spare pair of
prescription lenses?
Safety
pins
- a hundred uses
Travel
clock - in case you need to get up early
to catch a train, plane or make an early start
to avoid the crowds
Torch
with fresh batteries - lots of uses
Travel
scrabble / cards
- impromptu entertainment - great for breaking
the ice in a youth hostel!
Tissues
...
if not for you, for the kid next to you with the
runny nose or sticky fingers
umbrella
can be a hindrance - especially in crowded places.
Various
sized Glad bags for fruit
(squashed banana in your backpack is NOT fun),
for leftovers, damp clothes, messy things.
Wet
wipes
- instant hygiene and ideal for after lunch clean
up.
Got
any more travel tips?
Let us know and we'll pass them on to your fellow
travellers. A windcheater,
cap and calculator for the best tip received.
We
save you the time and effort of calling several
different companies to find the best rate and vehicle
to suit your needs. We have the largest
selection of any company worldwide. We
are expert niche specialists.
Did you know???
That the price you see is not always the price you
end up paying?
You have to consider Taxes - are they included or
not?
One way fees -
they can vary by hundreds of dollars between companies.
When you need a one way rental, we automatically
check every company we represent to find the best
one way fee. Why call
nine companies when one call to us does it for you...
Petrol or diesel?
- We know which is best! The cost of fuel? - We
know that too...
CDW & PAI &
SLI...you get offered these -Do
you know which you need and which you don't? We
do.
Some companies have
a minimum/maximum age - some charge
extra if you fall into this category. We
know which do and which don't.
Some cars & motorhomes
can go into Eastern European countries -
some can't.
Only cars from certain countries can enter Eastern
Europe. We know the
answer to both.
A second driver fee
can be $10 per day... some allow
it free - same with airport / city / station fee.
Guess who know this
too !!
Do
I need an International Drivers Permit...
If you have a drivers licence in English eg. Australian,
New Zealand, USA etc you do not need an International
Drivers permit.
If your licence is in a foreign language, we do
recommend that you get an International Drivers
Permit
1.
If your rental is under 21 days - car rental is
generally more cost effective than leasing.
2.
Car rental prices vary from country to country -
so a slight adjustment of your starting point can
save you heaps eg. a 1.4 L Megane picked up in Spain
would cost you Australian $60 per day but just go
across the border to France and you will pay Australian
$45 per day for that same car !
3.
If you are under 25 - avoid paying the young driver
surcharge which can be an Australian $25 per day
by doing a car lease.
4.
If you want a minibus, an automatic vehicle or need
a vehicle for more than 28 days - look at car leasing
which is the tax free program which is sanctioned
by the French government to encourage tourism. Leasing
includes absolutely everything with no additional
driver fees, airport fees and even the comprehensive
insurance does not have an excess. Cars can be leased
for up to 175 days with prices starting from Australian
$24 a day per car. Have a look at Car
Leasing in Europe. We are the only operator
that offers leasing with all three companies that
offers leasing.
5.
Do all that is possible to get a diesel vehicle
as diesel can cost up to a third less than petrol
in some countries. Note that with a rental car -
you most often will receive a petrol driven car.
With leasing you can order a diesel car.
6.
If you are taking a rental car - the insurance which
is included, does come with an excess of approximately
Australian $1,000 and whilst you could take out
excess reduction waivers at the car counter - do
check your travel insurance policy as quite a few
of them offer "Rental vehicle insurance excess
cover" - which means you don't have to take
out those waivers as your travel
insurance will cover this. Travel
Insurance Quote for a quick quote.
7.
If on a budget, consider taking a Motorhome instead
of a car. This would be your accommodation and transport
in one and you can save so much by cooking your
own food and making your own sandwich lunches. See
www.motorhomesworldwide.com
for comprehensive info. Motorhomes are offered in
32 countries.
8.
Car hire & Motorhomes are often priced on a
seasonal basis whereby the pick up date determines
the rate for the entire rental so if you want a
car on 30 September - it may be worthwhile to wait
one day and start on 01October when the rates drop.
9.
If you do a fly/drive package - you often get the
car or airfare at a reduced rate. Have a look at
www.europeshoppe.com.au
10.
Lastly - most companies in Europe charge an airport
fee - in some places like Italy, this can as high
as 14% of your TOTAL hire cost, so consider taking
a taxi to a downtown location and avoiding the fee.
Incidentally, airport drop off's do not incur the
airport fee.
11.
Want to travel to Eastern Europe eg. Poland, Hungary,
Czech Republic and your car hire company won't allow
it? Start in Germany or Austria and you can or alternatively,
lease a car. They allow it with full insurance and
no excess.
