Holidaymakers Choose Flexibility: Surge in Car Rentals at Sunshine Coast Airport Reflects Changing Travel Trends

Marcoola, QLD – 28 March 2025 – Aussie Bargain Car Rentals, a leading provider of holiday car rental at Sunshine Coast Airport, reports a noticeable increase in bookings as travellers prioritise freedom and flexibility during their Sunshine Coast holidays. Located just minutes from the airport terminal, the family-run business has seen a significant shift in traveller preferences over the past 12 months.

As more Australians and international tourists return to domestic travel, demand for Sunshine Coast Airport car hire has risen sharply. With limited public transport options to key destinations like Noosa, Caloundra and the Hinterland, visitors are increasingly choosing to rent a car to explore the region at their own pace. Aussie Bargain Car Rentals offers a diverse fleet—ranging from budget hatchbacks to SUVs and people movers—which has been central to meeting this demand.

“Holidaymakers are telling us they want control over their itinerary,” said Ken Holdaway, owner of Aussie Bargain Car Rentals. “Many are bypassing fixed tour schedules and opting for the convenience of a bargain car rental from Sunshine Coast Airport. It means they can stop at hidden beaches, scenic lookouts, and cafes whenever they like. That level of flexibility is priceless on a holiday.”

The spike in bookings coincides with a broader travel trend reflecting flexible, self-guided holidays. Self-drive holidays continue to rank among the top experiences for domestic and international visitors.

Aussie Bargain Car Rentals, which has operated near the airport for over a decade, offers competitive pricing, personalised service, and complimentary airport shuttle transfers—making it a go-to option for visitors looking to hire a vehicle straight off the plane.

Travellers planning their next Sunshine Coast getaway are encouraged to book early—particularly during peak holiday periods—to secure the best deals and vehicle availability. Explore vehicle options or make a reservation here.
