What happens if I need to cancel my Cairns North car reservation?
We’ve all been faced with times when plans are turned on their head. That’s why we offer a full refund on the majority of prepaid rentals if you advise us at least six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. Don’t forget to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some cases where it’s not available. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
