When hiring a car in Australia your quoted price, make sure that your quoted price includes all fees and charges for the options you have chosen. Normally the car hire company must advise you of all of the mandatory fees in the quote so that you wont have any nasty surprises when you go to collect the vehicle.

When you collect the vehicle always make sure that you do a vehicle inspection and compare it with any damage that should be recorded on the hire agreement or associated vehicle inspection report. That way you will not have a issue when you return the car. 

Never give the car rental company a chance to charge additional fees. Always leave the vehicle full of fuel when you return the car (or to the level stipulated) as hire companies will charge high fees to fill the car if you have not done so. If you get a parking or speeding ticket pay the fine immediately so that the hire company does not have to go through the process of advising the authorities who the responsible driver was. If the car hire company processes any of these infringements they will charge a hefty fee as they have to complete a statutory declaration and have it witnessed by a Justice of the Peace. 

When you return the vehicle, please do so in a respectable manner - the vehicle does not have to be cleaned but if it is too dirty you may be charged an extra fee.

Excess kilometers when hiring a vehicle.

If you feel that you may need more kilometers than those allocated with the hire, try to negotiate a  a deal for more before you leave the counter. Once you have done the deal and return the vehicle with excess kilometers you wont have any bargaining power and you normally get charged the full rate.
