Upon arrival into Gold Coast Airport, we had to call our car rental service provider to send us a shuttle that will bring us to their office where we can pick up our car. We chose this coz T has friends who recommended this company to him.
- Shuttle bus
- Just a 5 mins ride and we arrived here
- T chose a Toyota Corolla
- Was a simple procedure as the paper work were prepared
- We sniffed around while T was dealing with getting our car
- In V words "Wow all white cars!"
- Looking clean
- Toyota Corolla boot.
- No spunky smell
- My plus on plus is that the car seats are CLEAN!!!
- Fits my 20 mo
- Fits my 5.5 yo
There is an option for booster seats but I decided that we will take the baby seats coz K will be upset that she gets a different seat from her sis. Really don't want to go there with her nagging. But it fits V really well and she sleeps in comfortably. The only thing K was grumbling the whole time is that she had the sun in her eyes and it didn't matter which side I put her. So if you have a young child, you may want to bring the stick on window shade to help block the sun light.
The car came with 1/2 tank of petrol and we had to return it the same. Though no leather seats but it was really clean. Car smelt fresh with no cigarette aftermath stench. You may need to research on music stations for the car we had, had music that was not very happening and doing search didn't help us much. There is a CD reader and a USB for you to play children songs if required. Sadly to say we didn't know it and ended playing Frozen songs from my HP. The Garmin GPS was all good though it brought us some thorough some "lorongs" (streets) instead of main expressways and it doesn't seems to get us out of our hotel. Keeps insisting that we turn into some no entry lanes but other than that, it does it's job really well. The suction cup for the GPS stand doesn't stick and so I ended up being the GPS assistant by having it on my lap and fiquring out those times that we went round and round. But there are options of places of interest, shopping etc as a quick option that have been pre-installed was really useful for us.
