Chart of car hire prices in Brisbane: seasonal analysis based on verified bookings
Our experience shows that car hire prices in Brisbane follow a clear seasonal pattern. The lowest rates are seen in November, when the average price is $24, which is 21% below the average monthly price ($30). This means November is the most cost-effective month to hire a car according to our data.
The highest prices are recorded in December at $42, which is 39% above the average monthly price. Therefore, December is the most expensive period for car hire, which is understandable due to high demand during the holiday season.
Our analysis also shows that prices rise significantly from April to July. In particular, April shows a 26% increase compared to the average level, and July is 16% higher. This indicates that spring and early winter in Australia are more expensive times to hire a car.
On the other hand, the most affordable months after November are May at $25, which is 17% below average, June at $26, which is 14% below, and February at $27, which is 11% below. This creates an opportunity to save money if you plan your hire during these periods.
It is important to note that our conclusions are based on statistics from verified bookings made through our FindYCar website. We considered all car types and classes, as well as bookings with no deposit and no credit card. This allows us to assess real market prices without bias or hidden conditions.
