With a car hire Australia, it's most convenient to disover Australia. Travel in Australia might be an expensive thing to do. However, it's a bloody marvelous continent. Not just for sightseeing, you can actually have an adventurous stay in Australia, such as camel racing or rockclimbing. This article is not about what you can see there, but how to travel around in Australia.
Australia car hire is probably the best option, knowing that train and flighttickets are quite expensive. So, the cheapest way to go from Sydney to Melbourne is probably by rented car. The biggest brands for car hire in Australia are Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Budget and Thrifty. All of them provide great deals and some nice reward programs for returning customers. The only problem is that the rates of car hires change all the time, so one would have to visit all these different websites. That was a big waste of my time.
Luckily I found this aggregator of car hire in Australia : http://oodles.com. They provide realtime car hire rates from all those major car hire suppliers. On one side you see all models and on the other side you get to see all the rates. It was so easy to use ; I timed it and it took me 2 minutes and 43 seconds all together. Also, I double checked the prices and Oodles doesn't charge additional fees. On top of that, they provide all the loyalty programs from those major car rental suppliers.
The train from Sydney to Melbourne would cost me 100 aud, but for just 55 aud I got a car rental for a full day. I could pickup my car in Sydney and drop it off in Melbourne. Next time I arrive at the airport in Sydney, I will make sure to have my car booked with Oodles, because the taxi from the airport to the hotel costs me more then a car hire.
