Christmas 2025 Car Hire: Why GoGet is the Best Car Rental Choice this Christmas

If you listen really hard, you can probably already hear the first notes of “All I Want for Christmas is you” echoing in the distance. That’s right - the holiday season is nearly upon us, and with it the annual rush of festive travel. Whether you're heading out of the city for a family get-together, hauling gifts, or just popping to the supermarket to grab your pavlovas and prawns, navigating Christmas can be tricky. This year, trade the stress of traditional car rental for the effortless convenience of GoGet.

GoGet is like traditional car hire but easier and more flexible. Forget long queues, hidden costs, and rigid holiday opening hours - grab a GoGet instead and (go)get out there with cars from $69/day.

Or get up to 40% off your Christmas booking with our holiday offer.

8 Reasons Why you Should Choose GoGet

1. Cars near home, not just at depots

Instead of cars at depots, GoGet has vehicles located throughout cities parked in on-street parking, residential developments and local car parks. No need to trek to a rental depot - just book your closest GoGet, tap your GoGet smartcard to get into the car and off you go. Find cars near you. At the end of your booking, just bring the car back to the pick-up spot, tap your smartcard again and you’re done.

2. No Christmas Surcharges

At GoGet we don't do seasonal pricing. While other car rental Grinches increase their rates over Christmas and Easter, our prices don’t rise when demand does. That means that the price you pay on Christmas Day is the same as you'll pay on any other day. Forget surge prices and lock in your booking with GoGet. Even better, you can cancel for a refund right up to the start of your booking so what do you have to lose?

3. Flexible Durations (by the hour, day or week)

Need 2 days + 3 hours? Book exactly that and stop paying for time you won’t use. With GoGet you can book exactly what you need.

4. No Restricted Christmas or New Year Opening Hours

Start or end a trip any time, even on Christmas Day, with 24/7 support if you need help. GoGet pods don’t close over Christmas and New Year!

5. Fuel is included in the cost of your booking!

Running low on fuel mid-journey? No worries! Our cars and vans come with a handy fuel card, and the best part? The cost of fuel is included in your booking charge. That’s right! Unlike traditional car rental, fuel is included in our prices. Just make sure to leave at least a 1/4 tank at the end of your booking for the next member - sharing is caring. We also include 100kms free/day on all day bookings, with additional kms charged at $0.35/km.
