Tony Helps You "Focus On The Fun, Not The Fine Print"

In the world of travel, few frustrations compare to the endless queues at car rental counters.

For Tony, a seasoned traveller both domestically and abroad, these delays were more than mere inconveniences, they were sparks igniting a transformative idea.

“Why should anyone’s adventure be stalled by paperwork and long lines?” he pondered.

Locals Who Get It, Travellers Who Love It

With a deep-seated passion for the Sunshine Coast, where his family has resided for nearly two decades, Tony envisioned a seamless, customer centric car hire experience. In 2022, this vision materialised into Sunny Coast Car Hire. Part of the foundation had to include:

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Tony and the team at Sunny Coast Car Hire! From start to finish, their friendly and professional service made the entire process seamless and stress-free. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The car was spotless, reliable, and perfect for exploring the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Being a family-run business, you really feel the personal touch and attention to detail that sets them apart from the big chains.

I highly recommend Sunny Coast Car Hire to anyone looking for affordable, hassle-free car rentals with outstanding customer service. Thanks again, Tony and team – I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Great for Cruise Passengers!! Recently visited Mooloolaba on the Viking Sky and rented a car from Sunny Coast Car rental.

Online reservation process was straightforward and simple, Tony promptly emailed pickup and drop off information, and the whole process worked very smoothly.

Short walk from the cruise tender drop off point to the garage where the car was waiting, just as advertised. The whole rental, driving, and return process was super easy. Thanks Tony!!

Stacey Walsh

100% strongly recommend this family business. I can not speak highly enough of Tony. I hired a car for a week so that my parents could enjoy their Sunshine Coast holiday.

Unfortunately my mum broke her ankle on their last night requiring a longer stay and reshuffling all their plans. Tony was beyond helpful in recommending local places and doctors to help, and graciously extended their car hire.

He regularly checked in via text and on the day my parents needed to fly back home, Tony went and met them at their accommodation to drive the hire car for them to the airport and take care of car return at a stressful time. He went next level and assisted them to get through check in and even followed up with a text the next day. I actually don’t know what they would have done without him!! This is service that you simply do not get with a bigger company.

Our family is eternally grateful and will definitely be using Tony again on our next trip north, and will recommend them to all our family and friends. I am certain good karma is headed his way. Thank you!!

Vicky Caulfield

Great experience. Our car hire was very easy to arrange and reasonably priced. Great communication and easy pick up and drop off. If you are wanting to hire a car for a few days whilst on a trip to the Sunshine Coast I would recommend Sunny Coast Cat Hire!

Nathan Jay

Great value, easy to book and convenient. We were struck by bad weather on our annual trip to the Sunny Coast this year so made a last-minute decision to hire a car for some flexibility on those rainy days. We couldn’t have found Sunny Coast Car Hire any easier to deal with and so cost effective.

We didn’t need or want a flash new car that costs a fortune, we just needed a little car to get about locally. We hired a Mitsubishi Colt that we picked up from the multi-level care park in Mooloolaba, such a convenient location as we were staying only a two-minute walk away.

We hired it for 5 days and glad we did, car was clean and well presented for what we paid and of course had the all-important air con. We will be using this company again and I would strongly recommend you using them.

Beau Roberson

Tony was a great guy to deal with, very easy going. Pickup and drop off was a dream. Cars presented well and the best bang for buck car hire I have used.

Lynette Karaliamis

The communication with Tony was easy and excellent, and the instructions were very clear to follow.

The car fulfilled our needs for 4 days on the Sunshine Coast.

We prefer to support local businesses and would recommend Sunny Coast Car Hire.
We will use them again on our return trip !
Thanks Tony !!
