Cairns Airport Mini Guide

Cairns Airport is the international airport for Cairns in Queensland, Australia. It is situated 7km north of the city and has two terminals, one for international flights and one for domestic flights.
There is nothing more frustrating than standing in a queue at a car hire desk and finding that when it is your turn, you will have to squeeze your family of four kids into a sub mini. You can easily avoid this by booking in advance.

Not only will you be able to choose from an extensive range of vehicles, but you could benefit from our regular online special offers. We were voted ‘Best on the Road’ for just these reasons. So, book with us in the knowledge that the car of your choice will be ready and waiting for you.
