Northy
Coming to Oz for the World Cup and want to Rent a 4x4 soft top for about 14 days.
Arrive
Brisbane on the 9th November then Leave
Sydney on the 24th.
Going to use the vechicle to drive down the coast and to get us about in between.
Pay going rate and any transport fees to get the Vechicle back to
Brisbane.
Let me know
Cheers

Northy,
A couple of questions. Why does it have to be a 4x4, and why does it have to be a softop?? I would much prefer to be driving a Commodore or a Falcon if all you are intending to do is drive on the bitumen.
Do a search on Avis Hire Cars, Euro Hire cars, or Budget Rentals, and you should find all the info you need.

Hi Northy,
I agree with tristjo. You will fry your brains in a soft top in November. Better look for an airconditioned car. The coast road you mention and most roads inbetween are all sealed. Enjoy your stay.
Cheers,
Willie

G'day northy,
Agree with all aof the above. You will absolutely "boil your brains" in that part of our great land if you drive with the top down in November.
You should get a small airconditioned
sedan [or a hard top 4wd if you want to explore a bit off road], and get it from one of the big companies like Hertz, Budget or Avis.
That way you can reach a deal where you pick the vehicle in one capital city [Brissie] and leave it in another [
Sydney]
Enjoy your trip.
I'm sure you will also enjoy seeing us keep what is rightfully ours :):):):):)

If you own a soft top in Bris as I did, the only time you get the top off is in WINTER!!!! You will roast your little butt off Sept-Aprl!!
Get a nice
sedan or a coupe if its an image you want, but make sure if its convertable, it electric and you can drop it for a few hrs after sundown!!
