Car Rental Cairns

cairns local advice & weather

During our beautiful mild winters May - October, the temperature hovers around 26ºC during the day, falling to 14º at night along the Coast and 4º at higher altitudes on the Tablelands.

Our summer months November - April, the days lengthen so that the sun rises at 5am and sets at latest round 7pm.
During summer the humidity rises sharply to 85% and although the ambient temperature is still only about 30 - 32 ºC , the weather feels sticky.

You will definitely need one of our air-conditioned cars during the summer!

Cairns is Paradise! Imagine blue tropical sunny skies & aquamarine waters splashing over white sandy beaches or trek through tropical rainforest!

Rental car legalities, terms and conditions

Ocean temperatures pretty well mirror those of our swimming pool, between 22- 28 ºC, so you can swim all year around.

Remember to drink plenty of water no matter what time of the year you come as dehydration is what knocks most people out.

It's important not to wait until you feel thirsty because by then its too late! Force yourself to drink 3 litres per day.
The signs of dehydration can include nausea, headache, dizziness, for more info read these details.

Alcohol dehydrates you - so don't drink too much in direct sunshine/heat of the day - it can be dangerous as you don't notice the effects until too late!

Travel around tropical paradise in your hire car and wine and dine on your relaxing holiday knowing your hire car has been safety checked and serviced.

You do not need any shots or vaccinations to travel to Australia for further details we have more information for you to read.

Swim in the local stinger nets during "Stinger season" November- May.
The golden rule is " if you see the stinger nets up -swim in them"
Do not swim in any creeks or estuaries with Crocodile warning signs - especially at night!

Clothing required in Cairns can be described in two words. NOT MUCH.
It never really gets cold enough for warm clothes, unless of course you are from a hotter climate than ours. Shorts, T shirts, thongs & sandals along with a good hat are our local dress.

A final word of warning Police Speed Traps are lurking EVERWHERE
so don't exceed the speed limit.
Random Breath Testing is the norm in Queensland, so don't drink & drive
When it rains, it can be torrential - our roads, especially the roundabouts turn into skid pans & are very dangerous if you are going fast.
So please reduce your speed when it is wet
