Frequently asked questions
On hiring a car in Palm Cove
Why are there no hire cars in Palm Cove at certain times of the year?
Our data shows that Palm Cove, along with other isolated cities in Australia, book out of rental cars during peak seasons (i.e., school holidays and major town events) because of the limited amount of rental cars available by providers in the area. We recommend always booking well in advance for this location.
Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Palm Cove?
The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Palm Cove may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
What will it cost to park in Palm Cove?
There are more than 6,400 parking spots in Cairns and the surrounding areas with parking limits signposted. Parking is generally AUD$1.80 per hour and free on public holidays.
Can I pick up a car hire in Palm Cove and drop off in another location?
Absolutely. You can pick up your hire car in Palm Cove and drop off in another location. However, there may be a one-way fee charged to your booking by your supplier. To avoid surprises, we add this charge to the total cost displayed in our search engine.
