But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

What do you need to rent a car in Cairns Bay?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Cairns Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that operate in Cairns Bay. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
