© Gold Coast Family Car Rentals Since 2011
Gold Coast Family Car Rentals Blog
Gold Coast Family Car Rentals is owned by Darryl & Denise Wilson and our middle son Grant. We completed our first 10 years of operation on 20th July 2011.
Grant is now in charge of rental operations and I (Darryl) am moving to embrace the "social media" and to explore new locations for our operations on a franchise basis.
In the coming weeks and months we will post articles which we hope will be of interest to people who are contemplating a holiday on the Gold Coast (whether they want a rental car or not) and to people who are contemplating renting a car (whether it be on the Gold Coast or not).
We invite comment and contributions for future blogs - I will be setting aside every Thursday to respond to comments and to consider contributions or requested topics.
