Best of Magnetic Car Hire has joined C:Drive Car Rentals illegally storing vehicles in the Nelly Bay Terminal Car Park

Best of Magnetic Car Hire has joined C:Drive Car Rentals illegally storing hire vehicles in Magnetic Island's  Nelly Bay Ferry Terminal Car Park.





According to a Mr Trevor Brownrigg, an annual visitor to Magnetic Island, C:Drive Are back! Up to 6+ rental cars are again being stored daily by C:Drive in the Nelly Bay Terminal Car Park.

To further exacerbate the parking problems 'Best of Magnetic' are storing their rental cars in the parking spaces allocated to the IGA for 2 hour parking and in some spaces shared by the Department of Transport and the IGA

What sort of immunity from regulatory retribution has been granted to these companies by the Qld Department of Transport? Fair enough, Best of Magnetic now has a shopfront on the carpark. If they want allocated vehicle storage (parking) let them do what PRD had to do, pay for the spaces and have DOT signage erected!

The van with the signage for the Arcadia based $30 car rental mob, along with 5 private cars and utes are now abandoned, unregistered vehicles. What a great welcome to the island. Again I ask,

when will the transport department pull it's head out of the sand and their fingers out of their fundamental orifices and do something about our parking woes? Probably Never!!!

Magnetic Island Car Rental company, "Best of Magnetic Island Car Hire" are in the same league as Queensland's latest dictator Campbell Newman. They just do what they want and get away with it. Common decency is not a part of their business ethics. They don't give a proverbial for the people of Maggie. My mum, who has trouble walking, couldn't get a park at the IGA because their hire cars were stored in the bays allocated to the IGA. Where does this Victorian registered company get off? They are not even an island business?
