OK just remember a conversation from last night. My ears pricked up with the mention of Rent-a-Bug here in Australia but they couldn't fill in details for me, like where in Oz.
Does anyone know if they are the same company/people
Know they are in Tassie cos I've rented from them馃槑
Maybe I'll just have to ring them to find out?:thumb

There is a place in Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast QLD) that hires out Convertible Bugs, I'm not sure what they are called though.
Saddest sight I ever saw was a lovely little convertible bug in the Woolies carpark with beer swilling hoons sittin in it and on it. They drove off with two of them perched on the top of the back seat (I was hoping the driver would either slam on the brakes or turn a corner fast).

That sounded a sad sight Shani馃檨
Convertables for hire sounds pretty cool though:thumb
I must remember that cos I've got friends up on the Sunshine Coast who've been asking me to visit 馃檪

I've only ever heard of the ones in Tassie.....
I'd like to go over one day and thought that would be the way to go....
I've never heard of them anywhere else....
Not going to rent Yours out Jen??? 馃檪馃檪 only Joking...
If You liked Beetles... How in the world would You be able to part with them... with some unknown person driving...??
I couldn't do it....

I guess you have to love beetles to hire them....and be familiar with driving an older type car
Most people who hire cars want automatics....aircon.....CD players.....etc...etc....and you can get them almost as cheap....
