Credit card details are taken at the time of booking to guarantee the vehicle booking. Payment for the rental is taken at pick-up via credit or debit card.

Our Price Beat Guarantee applies to like-for-like rental deals offered by other independent car rental operators. It is available only at the time of booking and before the rental’s start date. It does not apply to deals that are part of a promotional offer with the other operator, or to insurance products. Any current offers run by Bespoke Noosa Car Rentals are not applicable to comparable rates. Please note that ‘like-for-like’ means comparable in terms of car type, pick-up and drop-off dates, location(s), T&Cs, and any relevant fees (including additional driver fees) or extra equipment. For example, if the other operator’s price is for a rental with the same pick-up and drop-off locations, but our price includes a one-way fee, this will not be considered like-for-like.
