Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Cairns
- Car rental providers in Cairns have some restrictions you should know before driving off in your cargo van. For instance, Cairns cargo van rentals cannot enter western and northern Australia. You cannot drive past Georgetown in the west and Cooktown in the north. Furthermore, you cannot enter Fraser and Stradbroke Islands or use the Bloomfield Track. In the southern territory, you cannot drive past Normanton. Also, most car rental suppliers restrict driving off the Australian Coast.
- Ensure you brush up on Cairns driving laws before driving off in your cargo van rental. Abide by the speed regulations, the speed limit on rural roads is 100 km/h (62 mph), and on motorways and highways, it can go up to 110 km/h (68 mph). Drinking and diving is a serious offense; the blood alcohol limit is 0.05%. Children under seven should be fastened in appropriate booster seats. Driving in Cairns is on the left.
- Traffic snarl-ups can put a damper on your trip. Therefore, you can plan your trips to avoid driving during peak hours, which run from 7am to 9am and from 4pm to 6pm. It would help if you also avoided the A1 at these times, as many use it to commute to and from work. Traffic can also be daunting while heading to the northern beach suburbs on the Bruce Highway. Ensure that your cargo van rental has good treads if you will be traveling during the wet seasons to avoid accidents.
- You should have no issue finding parking for your cargo van rental, even in the central business district. Cairn has a mix of paid and free streetside parking, with a limit of one to three hours in high-use areas and the central business district (CBD). Free parking spaces for Cairns cargo van rentals include Aplin Street, Abbotts Street, Lake Street, and Grafton Street. Numerous parking garages and lots, such as the Cairns Wharf Car Park, are also available.

FAQs About Renting a Cargo Van in Cairns
Is it worthwhile to obtain a cargo van rental?
Obtaining cargo van rentals has many benefits, as they are versatile, meeting both professional and personal demands. Cargo van rentals are roomy with high rooftops and can accommodate large appliances, unlike typical car rentals. For those transporting fragile equipment, you will appreciate that cargo vans are sealed and feature tie-downs and cargo rails to securely hold your goods relative to pick-up trucks. Parking in congested downtown streets or driving in narrow alleys is more convenient with cargo vans than trucks as they have higher visibility.
What are the best places to rent a cargo van in Cairns?
Cairns boasts numerous car rental locations, but if you are flying into the city, obtaining your cargo van rental at the airport would be more convenient. Cairns Airport (CNS) hosts major car rental companies like SIXT, Thrifty, Hertz, Alamo, and Ace at the Arrivals Hall of the terminals. They also provide free shuttles to their off-airport pick-up locations. Once you exit the airline hub, follow the signs and the green line to the shuttle pick-up area and wait for your shuttle. Off-airport rental centers include the JUCY branch at 55 Dunton Street and the Budget branch at 153 Lake St.

Car rental companies will require some documents before allowing you access to their Cairns cargo van rentals. Renters must be at least 21, although there is a young driver’s fee for those under 25. You will also need a valid driver’s license from your home country that has been valid for at least 12 months consecutively.

Cons:
I booked this for a reasonable price months in advance as diving the Great Barrier Reef was a bucket list item. When I landed though, europcar said that they had given my car away and had no other cars they could fulfill my reservation with as it was high tourism season. No offer to help, no sympathy. Of course I had my phone and checked online and found they indeed had multiple cars available immediately, but were asking double what I had booked mine for. How convenient... I got a car from a competitor instead, and will be avoiding Europcar going forward.Enterprise Rent-A-Car
