Our promise to you

To be there with you every step of the way

Let's be honest, most companies put a whole lot of stuff on their 'mission page' to talk about how great they are. We prefer action over talk so you can make up your own mind.

We like to believe that GO is radically changing the way rental car companies work.

We know other car rental companies can make booking a car difficult, so we've gone above and beyond to simplify the process. We'll take care of the important stuff leaving you the freedom to relax and enjoy the ride in your car hire. This is all so you can get on the road faster, without all the hassles, and GO love every moment of your holiday.

Why we're different

  • Outstanding on-road support
    We've got your back - so you can make the most of your time.
  • Ridiculously simple pick-up and drop-off
    With our online check-in and app, you'll be through pick up and on the road faster. With our excellent customer service, we personalise the drop off service so you can be on your way to your next location.
  • High Quality App
    One of our aims is to innovate the car rental industry and we are always updating and expanding our GO App. You can book an airport shuttle, rent a car, track and control your Tesla and much more.
  • Fair & transparent car rentals
    We've radically changed how car rental companies handle paperwork. Our policies are designed to be hassle free for you.
  • Quality vehicles just right for you
    A wide selection of new vehicles perfect for your getaway.
  • Luxurious Tesla Vehicles
    Electric vehicles are not only deluxe and smooth to drive, they give our customers the full confidence that their car rental is environmentally friendly.
  • Climate Friendly Partnerships
    GO Rentals are committed to keeping their carbon neutral status and promise. We have partnered with CarbonClick so our customers can also offset their fuel emissions to reduce the environmental impact of travel.
  • Trip planner, guides and travel blog
    We understand that it is more than a car rental, it is about adventures, quality time and making memories. So we have designed lots of tools to take the stress out of planning and provide you with local knowledge.
  • Exclusive Discounts
    We understand that sometimes we have a tight budget and need to save money, so we regularly release affordable deals so you can get the best price on your car rental.

We've been around the block

When GO Rentals was born way back in 1997, we were a small family business. Over the last 20 years the 'GO family' has grown to over 200 scattered around the country and even the globe! Each and every day, these are the people who make GO the special place it is and allow us to offer you a unique GO way of doing business.
