Expert tips for driving a commercial vehicle
Driving a Moving Truck in Cairns
For moving house, a truck up to 4.5 tonnes GVM can be driven on a standard car licence by drivers aged 21 and over. Plan your route to avoid peak traffic on major highways and take advantage of user-friendly features like automatic transmission and reversing cameras, which make modern trucks easier to handle.
Licence
For the vast majority of hire vehicles in Cairns, including all utes, delivery vans, and moving trucks up to 4.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), you only need a standard, open car licence. This covers the most popular rental trucks suitable for moving a 1-3 bedroom house. Please note that provisional licences (P-Plates) or learner's permits are generally not accepted for commercial vehicle hire.
Driving a Hire Ute in Cairns
A hire ute is ideal for work or adventure in Cairns and requires only a standard car licence for drivers 21 or over. Before heading off-road to places like Cape Tribulation, confirm your rental agreement permits unsealed road use. Be cautious of wildlife on roads outside the city, particularly at dawn and dusk.
Driving a Delivery Van in Cairns
Perfect for deliveries or small moves, a hire van protects your cargo from Cairns' tropical rain and can be driven on a standard car licence by anyone 21 or older. When driving in busy areas like the CBD, be mindful of commercial traffic and time-limited parking regulations
