Frequently Asked Questions
Q? Are the trucks easy to drive?
ATrucking experience is not required to drive all of our trucks. They pretty much drive like a normal car, with all standard controls you would expect in a car.
Q? Are there any hidden costs I should know about?
A At Gold Coast Truck Rentals, we only have the daily charge, the optional insurance waiver & extra mileage charges. Remember you pay for the fuel though, and any tolls you may go through. We have no “Registration Levies”, or “Admin Charges” that we will be surprising you with when you pick the vehicle up though.
Q? Can I drive one of your vehicles on my “P’s”?
AAt our discretion, anyone on their Provisional licence can drive one of our vehicles, however our standard excess in a multi vehicle accident would be a maximum of $5000. This is not waiverable.
