Imagine a two-week 4wd trip through the Outback, but without any 4wds....
Well, that's what they said when I started calling around. "Oh... August?! totally. booked. up
I nearly vomited. I tried several places. I finally found a company called Eurocar that rented Land Cruisers. Their availability sucked. One available on the day we needed, but then the other not available till the next day at 11pm. They wanted 170$/day (300km/day limit) 27c excess.
I was so concerned about avails that I almost booked it.
I hung on line for Thrifty for perhaps two minutes, and then balked and called Budget.
Via Budget, I was able to book two Land Cruisers with the following details:
pickup Monday August 18th at 830am
return Friday August 29th afternoon
150$/day for 450km/day limit (27c excess)
1905$/vehicle for all the insurance
total price, including all the taxes, etc, is 2106$AUD/vehicle. (approx 126$USD/day/vehicle)
I will call in a week's time and reconfirm. I have the order numbers, but won't post them here in case there is some sicko who cancels them or something...
