 Late night car rental Brisbane Airport 

Hello,

We have a flight coming in at Brisbane Aiport 0:40 late at night.

It looks as if all car rental companies are closed around that time. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

contact Palazzo,as I think they can arrange a car,just ask for a quote.A chauffeur driven sedan would be cheaper than the limo.

OR,stay at a cheaper hotel near the airport for that night.

Just wondering how good your concentration skills are going to be after a 10 hour flight, working your way through customs and then jumping into a car you haven't driven before in a country that you may not be familiar with for an hour long drive. Perhaps a transfer service would be more prudent.

It may work out cheaper to stay at the Novotel at the airport or some of the other accommodation near it and then get the rental car in the morning.

And agree with Oscar, have a rest, and then head off the next day to the Gold Coast. I Imagine a transfer at that time of the morning at least 1.00am by the time through customs etc, could be very expensive.

Hi!

We have the same problem for February next year. We haven't reserved any hotel near taking into account also that before reaching hotel it will be the morning allready. So we are thinking the best solution will be to stay at the airport and "rest" there till morning. What do you think, is idea OK or does anybody have some other good proposal?

Thank you.

IMO I'd stay at a hotel near the airport, see airport accommodation

tripadvisor.com/Travel-g255068-c119760/Brisb…

and organise a car from your accommodation.
