Chart of car rental prices in Brisbane: seasonal analysis based on verified bookings

Our experience shows that car rental prices in Brisbane have a clear seasonal pattern. The lowest rates are observed in November, when the average price is $24, which is 21% below the monthly average price ($30). This means that November is the most cost-effective month for renting a car according to our data.

The highest prices are recorded in December, at $42, which is 39% above the average monthly price. Therefore, December is the most expensive period for car rentals, which is understandable due to the high demand during the holiday season.

In our result, it is also clear that prices increase significantly from April to July. Specifically, April shows an increase of 26% compared to the average level, and July is 16% higher. This indicates that spring and early winter in Australia are more expensive times for renting a car.

On the other hand, the most affordable months after November are May with $25, which is 17% below the average, June with $26, which is 14% below, and February with $27, which is 11% below. This creates an opportunity to save if you plan your rental during these periods.

Buy a booster seat or child seat if you’re traveling with younger children.
0.05% is the maximum alcohol limit.
Don’t drive faster than 50 km/h in the city, or 100-130 km/h on open roads or highways.

Parking
