Vroomin' Good Times

August has been a busy, busy month for Team Vroom. At the hub here in Brisbane, we have had the Riverfire Spectacular and 10 days of fun with the Ekka (The Brisbane Royal Exhibition for those from out of town). Earlier we saw Claude Harvey embark on his Mower-thon fund raising journey for Bravehearts, and Dave presented the Concierge Award at the HM Awards.

What will September bring? Apart from Spring and cute baby animals. Well it's school holidays again... hang on, didn't we just have school holidays? Don't miss out on some great deals, make sure you have booked your car hire!

Car Hire Shenanigans

John "The Poet of New Zealand" Irvine has put together an eccentric little ditty about his car hire experience.

Our clever little car named Vroom Vroom Vroom

Here we are in Kiwiland, flown in from Aussie’s drought,
we’re looking for our rental car so it can take us out
of Auckland (cos we’re country folks) and like to breathe fresh air.
Didn’t take too long to find with the helpful people there.

We’d planned our jolly journey from the Cape down to the Bluff,
we travelled all around in style, saw lots of Kiwi stuff,
like Kauri trees in Northland, and the Ninety Mile Beach,
there, the far horizon just went on right out of reach.

Read about the rest of John's journey here.

Write to us about your travels

Been on a road trip lately?? What did you do? Where did you go? If you have a story to tell - the kids had you in stitches, your hubby drove you insane, or your girlfriend had you stop at every roadside fruit stall. We'd love to hear about it and share your adventure with our fellow Vroomsters. If you like, send us a pic too! Email us at newslettervroom.com.au

Handy Hint

Picking up your car hire from an airport location? ALWAYS include your arrival flight number, for example, QF 625, JQ 420 , DJ 307 etc.

Why? If there are changes to your flight arrival time as a result of flight delays or cancellation the supplier will amend your car hire accordingly. So if you happen to arrive at a crazy hour of the early morning there will be someone there to great you with your car - and if you are lucky - a 2am smile!
