When it comes to surfing trips, it is sometimes difficult to find the right vehicle that will suit your needs. There are lots of things to keep in mind, such as where you, your luggage and most importantly, your surf board are going to fit. A bit of luxury never goes astray and the added bonus of an open roof makes the trip just that tad bit more exhilarating.

Station wagons can be a great option because of their length. The car itself is a great option for couples with small kids, with many of the newer versions featuring all the mod cons that you would expect from a rental car, making it the ideal vehicle for your next family trip.

If you choose to hire a 5 door wagon, you will need to make sure that the back seat can be folded down so that you can actually fit your surfboard in. Typically, these vehicles can hold up to 5 people, however if you do pack your surfboard, due to safety reasons you will no longer be able to fit 3 people in the backseat. Luxury features such as air conditioning, power steering and a CD player will make your trip all that more enjoyable, keeping you cool even while you aren't at the beach.

Having a big car for a surfing trip is a necessity for most, as it eliminates the issue of cramped space and freedom. 4WD's are usually a great option if you are after something a little bigger for your beach holiday. Although these vehicles are not permitted to go off road (unless specified), it is still useful for accessing some of unsealed roads that lead to those hidden beaches you have been dying to try out.

Cars with an open roof (like convertibles) are another great option, however you will need to check with each rental company first.

Hiring a rental car for a surfing holiday can be restrictive so it is always important to ask before you book. Talk to our friendly team to find out which vehicle will be best suitable for your needs.
