Understanding Pricing

Before You Book

DriveNow is a comparison web site with live pricing fed directly from our car rental partners, which will allow you to get today’s best price on offer.  

Prior to making a reservation online, as the pricing is live, these prices can change or fluctuate daily at the discretion of the car rental provider. As availability becomes limited and other customers book a particular vehicle, prices may start to increase due to demand.   

Once you have made your reservation online and your booking confirms instantly, you will then receive your confirmation. From here the prices are locked in for the booking dates you have selected. 

Booking in advance is always recommended to secure the best rate. Generally, the earlier you book the cheaper the rate. Where possible it is recommended that you book in advance, especially during peak periods such as long weekends, Easter, Christmas and School Holidays. During these periods, availability becomes limited, and vehicles sell out well in advance. 

This is particularly true for specialty vehicles such as 12-seaters, People Movers, luxury & sports cars along with 4WD’s which all sell-out quickly and early. Customers should consider booking 3-4 months in advance to secure the best rate and avoid the disappointment of missing out due to supply being exhausted.
