Places to Visit with your Cheap Car Rental Surfers Paradise
While we can say that there’s always something exciting going on in the Gold Coast, the most exciting ones can probably be found in Surfers Paradise. This globally recognised destination is not only for—as the name might suggest—surfers in Australia, but for everyone looking to have a good time as well. This area has a vibing nightlife, year-round holiday spirit and an infectiously vibrant atmosphere. And to help you make the most out of your holiday, here are some of our recommended places to visit when you hit the town with your car hire from Alpha:
Surfers Paradise Beach
At the hub of Queensland’s Gold Coast sits the renowned Surfers Paradise Beach. Three lifeguard towers are stationed along this two-kilometre stretch of golden sand and churning surf to monitor the approved swimming and surfing areas. Swim and surf along these vast beaches.
Holidaymakers prioritize riding waves here, made simple by the availability of surfboard rentals, lessons, and beach breakers that stretch the whole length of the beach. For more seasoned surfers, the outer bar’s modest swell and offshore winds make for ideal conditions
HOTA – Home of the Arts
The Home of the Arts, with Surfers Paradise and the Parklands as its backdrop, will be your go-to place for live performances, films, a dose of art and a source of inspiration. This premier cultural facility features an outdoor stage for live events, and you can drop by their cafe for some relaxing vibes while you soak in the experience.
Holoverse Dinosaur World
This entertainment centre from the future features holographic technology to bring you a unique kind of entertainment experience. Laser light holograms floating in the air are attractions to behold and are not only for kids. Bring your family and friends and be prepared to be taken to a totally new world through this fantastic and unique display of light.

What happens if I return the vehicle late?
If you return the vehicle more than 1 hour after the drop-off time, you will be charged an additional full day’s fee.

Really happy with the service received from shuttle and vehicle pick up. Our vehicle was the perfect size, had a few cosmetic imperfections but did the job. Will use this service again.
The rental cost was very resonable.. full insurance for 6 days was $392.
Car ran perfectly and was very comfortable (kia cerato)
Would thoroughly recommend this company.
It was quick to pick up and get on our way even though our car was not ready to go we were just given a better car and said we could be on our way. Great new car as quick on drop off. Heaps of staff at hand to make sure it was a fast process
Thanks heaps will recommend and reuse cheers tim
The counter staff were welcoming and informative, and the rates were the most affordable I found. They even helped adjust the rental hours to maximize my usage. The child seat hire was also cheaper than other providers.
Best of all, the bond was released within 30 minutes of returning the car. I’ll definitely use this company again when I visit Brisbane!
