Top Tips for Renting a Luxury Car in Cairns

  • Hire a luxury car in Cairns Luxury car hire to freely explore the town and surrounding areas and visit various places that are not easily accessible using public transportation. In a luxury hire car in Cairns, travelling to Townsville will take less time than other means of transport.

  • At night, be careful when driving through isolated areas as animals such as koalas, pigs, bandicoots, and kangaroos can often run onto the roads. Striking an animal can be distressing and dangerous. It's even more important to be careful when driving outside of the town of Cairns, especially around sunrise and sunset, as most Australian animals are nocturnal. If you do find yourself in a situation where you've hit an animal, be careful not to touch it or get too close, as they can injure you. If the animal is injured, call the emergency services on 000 or an animal welfare organization like Wires.

Arrived prior to our 10am pick up on 14/6/23 and were told there was no booking. When I showed the confirmation email, I was told that the booking had been cancelled, in spite of it being booked 10 days earlier and the email had said accepted by Eurocar. Had to quickly look around other car rental companies and had to settle for a more expensive older car that we had to walk much further from hotel to pick up and return. Not sure who was at fault her, Kayak, Expedia or Eurocar but will have to seriously re-consider whether I'll use any of these companies going forward.

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.
