Car rental with no hidden fees? Here's how the price works
On niftirent you see what your price includes before you pay, and what's paid to the rental company at pickup is listed so it isn't a surprise. That's transparent pricing.
The hold isn't a fee
With standard cover, A$1,000 (est. US$700) is held on a credit card in the main driver's name at pickup and released after you return the car. It's held, not charged. With zero deductible cover there's no est. US$700 (A$1,000) hold, just an A$1 check.
The deductible is the big one to know
If the car is damaged or stolen, the most you'd pay with standard cover is A$5,500 (est. US$3,850) for economy and compact cars and intermediate hatchbacks and sedans, and A$6,600 (est. US$4,600) for larger cars. Zero deductible cover takes it to zero on every car except the 12-seater.
What's in your price
The car for your dates and times, standard cover for damage and theft (with the deductible shown on your car), and Australian GST (10%).
What's paid at pickup
Paid to the rental company at pickup, not in our price: the young driver fee for drivers aged 21 to 24 at A$16.50 (est. US$12) a day, extras you add at the counter (like extra drivers or child seats), and an EV charging fee if an electric car comes back under 20% battery. Tolls and fines are billed to your card later, under the rental company's terms. Pickup amounts are listed before you book.
Changing your trip
No change fees from us. Your updated trip is priced at the current rate. Changes within 7 days of pickup follow the rental company's terms.
One-way trips
Dropping off in a different city can add a one-way fee. If it applies, it's shown before you book and paid at pickup.
Paying in your currency
Prices show in your own currency, and converted amounts are marked est.
