Radio hosts Jimmy & Nath hit the road to find Bigfoot with Budget

Budget Australia has teamed up with Hit Network radio hosts Jimmy Smith and Nath Roye, who are embarking on a nationwide search for one of the world’s most elusive and mythical creatures, Bigfoot.

Over five weeks, the pair will lead the nation on a thrilling, adventure-packed, Bigfoot-finding quest, determined to help Aussies get closer to the creature than ever before.

Known in Australia as the Yowie, there have been countless claimed sightings over the decades. Yet very few can say they have come face-to-face with the real deal and for this reason, Jimmy and Nath are calling on the nation to join them in their search for Bigfoot for the chance to win a $10,000 prize.

Jimmy Smith said, “When Budget came to us with the idea to find bigfoot somewhere around the country, it was love instantly – we didn’t think we could love a hairy, 7ft (potentially mythical) creature that we haven’t even met yet, but we do, until then Nath was the hairiest member of the Jimmy & Nath family.”

“We will put everything into our bigfoot bounty we will be climbing, falling, flying, swimming, and driving to try and find him… oh and along the way, someone will win $10,000 and of course, you know what they say about big feet, big fun,” said Nath Roye.

To make sure they don’t miss out on finding Bigfoot, Jimmy and Nath will be calling on the nation for their Bigfoot sightings and tips, speaking to experts along the way and documenting their search from the driver’s seat of their Budget car rental. Aussies can join the Bigfoot Bounty with Budget search by listening to Hit Network’s Weekend Breakfast show, The Jimmy & Nath Show from 20th May.

Tom Mooney, Managing Director of Budget Australia, said: “We’re thrilled to support Jimmy and Nath as they embark on their national search for Bigfoot. Budget Australia takes the hassle out of car hire so our customers can get on the road sooner and to the most exciting parts of their trip.

“There’s nothing worse than missing out on the action because you’re stuck in a queue. With our time saving features including online PreCheck and our Fastbreak membership, we’re helping Jimmy and Nath move easily and swiftly from one Bigfoot tip off to the next.

“Whether you’re searching for Bigfoot or setting off on your own outback adventure, Budget has streamlined the rental process to make travel easier and more enjoyable for everyone.”
