Summer Trip Day 3 : Hertz Car Rental at Trickett Street, Brisbane
By admin | March 8, 2010
Today have to wake up early as well. I already inform Hertz car rental company, we would collect the car at 7.30am. So that we have time to reach Gold Coast Paradise Country Farm before 9.30am. I am worry we would spend time on searching the place.
We already packed everything yesterday night. I just cooked some simple pasta in the morning as our breakfast. Fatty and I the leave apartment to Hertz at 7.00am. While Lena them have to clean up the apartment kitchen, check out and wait us at lobby to pick them up.
Fatty and I walk from South Brisbane to Trickett Street that nearby Queen Street Mall. Due to some mistake we spent 45 minutes to reach Hertz office! Very tired ler!
We still have to queue to get our car, there were few people in font of us. However, processing of register is fast. It only take us 10 minutes to complete the progress and the car already waiting us at outside.
We rented a Toyota Camry Sedan (Altis) for 3 days from 19 – 21 January 2010. Collect at Brisbane city and return at Surfers Paradise. Its original cost AUD210+ but I found some discount code online ( I used this CDP Discount Plan code no. 1820770) and final cost is AUD185.85 without extra insurance. And we paid by cash to avoid 0.08% credit card charges, anyway they need our credit card (without charge into card) as guarantee too.
We got the sky blue Toyota Camry Sedan. Everything look new and very nice. The time we collected the car was at 8000 plus km only. Still new ah..
It was already 8.15am when we back to apartment to pick up Lena and her hubby. We made a few mistake on road after left the apartment. Wasted some time but was managed to reach Pacific Hwy 15 mins later.

Mei, I forgot where did I got the code already. Anyway, I am sure it is a forum and there are some members sharing their discount code. I reached the forum through google with search of “hertz discount code” or “brisbane / surfer paradise car rental discount code”. You may try to search by those words and try which code is valid now.
