We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Cairns Airport, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Cairns Airport and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Cairns Airport, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Mercedes E Cabrio from €38 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by EUROPCAR. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Ford Tourneo at a rate of €47 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Peugeot 208 car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €13 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.
