Driveaway Holidays

We booked a car for 4 weeks in October , picking up from San Francisco and drop off in LA., using Dollar Car Rentals. We paid much less than if we'd booked in the U.S. and had no problems whatsoever. Quick and easy pick up and return and the car was a free upgrade and almost new. We drove over 8000 kms and really enjoyed the whole experience. No extra charges on drop off, but we did find the ' drop off empty " approach rather stressful. They also offer a ' drop off full " option which we would have preferred, but didn't find out about in time.

This was our second experience of renting a Peugeot through Drive Away. We chose a 307 SW for a 36 day trip around France and Northern Italy. We picked up the car in Paris and dropped it off in Marseille. The service was excellent and even included loading our first destination into the GPS. On drop-off we were driven to the airport terminal with the luggage still in our car which was very convenient. The car was perfect for a couple with lots of luggage and was comfortable for day trips with 5 adults.

We hired a car from Driveaway this time for 5 days in Germany, pick up and drop off in Munich. We have used them several times before in Europe as they consistently offer a competitive price and give the confidence of using an Australian based company. Pick up and drop off has always been hassle free. The local office staff are responsive and helpful. Overall I would recommend Driveaway when you are planning your next holiday.

I have just returned from 22 days in the USA. I hired a car to carry me and two friends (and luggage), picking the car up in San Francisco and dropping it off in Denver. There was a one-way recovery fee of $500, which I expected, but when the agent in San Francisco saw our huge pile of luggage, he offered an upgrade to a larger car, while dropping the one-way fee to $300. We took it.
The car was brand new - leather seats, electric adjust, rear view camera via the rear-view mirror, emergency telephone contact device built-in, twin air-conditioners, two sunroofs, DVD player and roof-mounted screen. We could not have been happier with the deal. The car was supplied by Alamo, but at a considerable (like 1/2 price) discount than going directly through Alamo. We ended up driving 4,500 miles through ten states from Seattle Washington down to Santa Fe in New Mexico. I could not be happier. Oh, and don't worry about getting an expensive "International Driving Licence" from the NRMA - it's not worth the paper it's printed on. In the US at least, all they are interested in is your Australian driving licence - nothing else.
This is the first time I have used DriveAway Holidays, but I will definitely use them if I travel overseas again. I am completely happy with their service.
