Understanding Pricing
DriveNow offers live comparison pricing from car rental partners, meaning rates can fluctuate daily until your instant online booking is confirmed, locking in your price.
DriveNow is a comparison website providing live pricing directly from our car rental partners, ensuring you can access the best available rates on any given day.
As our pricing is live, rates can change or fluctuate daily at the discretion of the car rental provider before you make a reservation. As vehicle availability becomes limited and other customers book particular vehicles, prices may begin to increase due to demand. However, once you have completed your reservation online and your booking confirms instantly, you will receive your confirmation, and the prices for your selected booking dates will then be locked in.
Booking in advance is always recommended to secure the most favourable rate. Generally, the earlier you book, the more affordable the rate tends to be. Where possible, we advise booking well in advance, especially during peak periods such as long weekends, Easter, Christmas, and school holidays. During these times, availability becomes severely limited, and vehicles often sell out well in advance.
This is particularly true for specialty vehicles like 12-seaters, people movers, luxury and sports cars, along with 4WDs, all of which tend to sell out quickly and early. Customers interested in these vehicle types should consider booking 3-4 months in advance to secure the best rate and avoid the disappointment of missing out due to exhausted supply.
