If you get a car hire at Maroochydore Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY), you will automatically have more flexibility travelling to the centre of the city and other locations, compared to if you used public transport. This is because you can go directly to your location, without the potential need for transfers. For example, if you wanted to drive to Mountain Creek, then you could do so in about 13min. However, the same journey by bus not only takes about 1 hour, but you also need to transfer from the 620 bus to the 614 bus.
This airport has a selection of car hire companies, like SIXT, Enterprise and Hertz, which means it’s easy to find the perfect vehicle for your trip. If you hire a car with SIXT, they provide you with a phone number to call once you have cleared customs.

I was bitterly disappointed when I returned the vehicle in Brisbane after hiring it for 24 hours and suddenly got charged for 2 days instead of 1. I arrived on site and the lady at reception was very friendly and understanding when I mentioned I forgot to fill up with fuel (I’m not from here and it was very stressful with the amount of traffic in Brisbane). She suggested I go and fill up down the road while she took a photo of the key holder to check me in early. At most I was an hour late, which wasn’t even mentioned at drop off. Then I received the invoice via email for 2 day's hire? Come on, I am a return client and this is how we got treated? The guy that took over when I got back was rude and wasn’t willing to hear me out when I was explaining the above. Not happy at all
