Hiring a Car in Cairns: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Cairns

Understand Pet Policies

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
Confirm the rental company's pet policy

Check for Restricted Areas

Some areas may have restrictions; ensure you know where you can and cannot drive.
Be aware of driving restrictions

Avoid Central City Rentals

Renting outside busy areas can reduce costs and parking challenges.
Consider renting outside the city center

Understand Rental Insurance Options

When renting a car, it's crucial to understand the different insurance options available. Selecting the right insurance can protect your finances in case of an accident. Common options include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and liability insurance, so make sure to confirm the required coverage with the provider.
Choose the right rental insurance

Check for Promotional Offers

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
Look for discounts and deals

Research Fuel Prices

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
Know local fuel prices before returning

Understand Deposit Policies

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
Know the rental deposit requirements

Consider in-terminal car hire company for convenience.

If you are travelling to Cairns and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.
Find in-terminal car hire for quick pickup
