Interesting Car Rental Facts
| Children |
How do I add a child seat to my booking?Child seats can only be added once you have made a booking, so the cost of the seat will be added on top of the quote we give you. Once you have your reservation number, either contact your supplier directly, or Vroom, to add on the child seat. We will need to know the size/ age of the child and how many seats to add.As baby seats are considered necessary safety equipment, some airlines will not count the seat in the luggage allowance. Please confirm with your airline, as you may be able to bring your own for free. When do I get my discount? Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar and Thrifty all show your prices including discount during the quoting process. No further discounts can apply to the reservation. Refer to the car rental company for airline loyalty programmes. |
Tips for safe travelling in Australia
| Weather and the Environment |
| Protect against sunburn at all times, but especially in summer. Use a wide brimmed hat, 15+ sunscreen, sunglasses, protective clothes and shoes. Australian sunlight has very high UV levels and skin damage occurs rapidly, especially during the middle of the day.
Check approaching storm fronts for signs of a greenish tinge. This often indicates a hail storm that may cause damage to persons and property. Always observe correct beach safety. Swim only at patrolled beaches. Only swim between flagged areas. If in doubt, ask. Always check for warning signs. If you intend to swim in shallow coastal waters north of Gladstone, make it your business to be informed about box jellyfish (marine stingers). Generally found in shallow water near creek or river mouths, more likely after local rain, usually absent in rough water. Not usually found over deep water or coral. Stinger season is usually from December to March in the Gladstone (south) area and longer, from October to June, in the Cairns (north) area. Most popular beaches in the stinger areas are netted to provide swimmer protection. Always wear thick soled shoes when walking in shallow tropical waters or reef walking as protection against the highly camouflaged stonefish. It has dorsal spikes which will rupture the skin of the foot and inject poison causing extreme swelling and agony. Deaths have been recorded as a result of stonefish poisoning. There are other poisonous creatures on the reef such as some of the cone shell species and coral snakes, both of which are capable of causing death. If you intend spending time on the Barrier Reef without expert guidance, ensure you have a sound knowledge of what can hurt you before you start. |
