Make sure you're aware of the local drink-driving laws when driving your Maroochydore hire car. The blood alcohol limit in Australia is 0.05%, and breathalyser checkpoints are common throughout the Sunshine Coast. If you know you're planning some nights of drinking, consider adding additional drivers to your Maroochydore car hire agreement. Additionally, Queensland has very strict laws regarding drink driving. If you're over the BAC limit and you're found in the vehicle with the keys, you can be charged with drink-driving. To be safe, if you plan on drinking at all, don't drive and always hand the keys over to someone else when you start drinking.
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular amongst both tourists and locals on the Sunshine Coast and may be a good option for cheap car hire in Maroochydore. The Maroochydore Homemaker Centre is one convenient place to find chargers in the Sunshine Cove neighbourhood. You can also recharge at Sunshine Plaza, a large shopping centre on the Sunshine Coast. If you're choosing an electric vehicle, it's a good idea to find a hotel that offers EV chargers for their guests. The Ingenia Holidays Rivershore holiday park and Loea Boutique Hotel are two options. If you head out on day trips, you can find EV chargers up and down the Sunshine Coast.
Booking cheap car hire in Maroochydore doesn't always have to be about getting to your destination quickly. There are some beautiful scenic drives in the area where you'll want to slow down and soak it in. If the weather isn't right for a beach trip, consider heading to the Sunshine Coast's hinterland area. You can reach the lovely town of Mapleton in just over half an hour from Maroochydore. From here, you can head to Maleny, home to scenic waterfalls and stunning gardens. If you'd prefer a coastal drive, you'll be spoilt for choice, but one popular option is to head down south to Kings Beach.
Characterised by the joining of the Maroochy River, Paynter River and Petrie Creek, a hire car in Maroochydore offers access along the banks where public transport doesn’t reach. You can drive to the border of Parklands Conservation Park and Mooloolah River National Park before hiking through the dense forests to escape the city life. Driving inland to the famous Big Pineapple takes roughly 20min while a connection of bus services is closer to 1h. Hiring a car in Maroochydore also allows you to pack towels, boards and food for the beach without having to carry it far. Having your own vehicle also provides a reprieve from the warm Queensland sun, meaning no waiting outside for services to arrive.
The reception desks of Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and Thrifty are located next to the baggage claim in the arrivals area of Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY). It’s only a short walk to the carpark, so you won’t need to carry your luggage far to pick up your vehicle.
Be mindful when crossing one of Maroochydore’s many bridges, as the river levels can rise after heavy rainfall. Ensure you can see directly across the bridge and there are no flooded sections. Cyclists are common throughout the city, especially along the coast in Cotton Tree, so keep a watchful eye on the side of the road and provide at least 1.5 m of space when overtaking.
The worst traffic periods typically stretch from 07:00–09:00 and 16:00–19:00. Congestion is most severe along Sunshine Mwy and Maroochydore Rd as commuters make their way in and out of Brisbane. Plaza Pde also experiences heavy traffic throughout the day and it is best to avoid it if you are visiting the central shopping district.

Excellent pick-up/upgrade/condition/cleanliness etc. But I filled up to Full opposite the hire location only to have the final emailed invoice claim it was 6/8 and $60 was deducted from my credit card. I phoned to query. They claimed I only filled to 'first click' and maybe the gauge wasn't working. (A ridiculous suggestion on a 44,000km car). Hmmmm. I suggested they go and try to fill it. They did so and lo and behold it needed (only) 9 litres. I was refunded $45. I honestly wonder how many people have received their final invoice which should say $zero and not looked at the automatic debit due to the car being 'not full'?

Just drop off the car took me more than 45 minutes. There were 3 employees and three customers to hire a car. Even pickup took me 20 minutes. With Hertz drop off has always been less than 5 minutes. Simplify your pickup and drop off. All the customers on the day were shaking there heads with disbelief.
