On average, car rentals in Cairns – Palm Cove cost around AUD $158.87 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $58.18 per day.
Compare pickup locations. Grabbing your car from Cairns Airport is often cheaper than renting directly in Palm Cove. The short drive can be worth the savings.
Don't pay for a car that's just sitting there. Plan some car-free beach days and only book a vehicle for the days you plan to explore.
If you need a car for 5 days or more, always look for a weekly rental rate. It can be a lot cheaper than paying day-by-day.
Travelling during peak times like June-August or Christmas? Booking your car in advance is a smart move to lock in a good price.
