Rebecca Muir: Would highly recommend these guys, made our move so easy and way cheaper than what we had imagined, the moving kit was a great help to. The staff were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable with the transport we had chosen. If i ever move or need car hire again will definitely return to these guys.

Rent A Car In Cairns
If you really want to explore and experience all the amazing wonders of Cairns and the tranquil surrounding landmarks, you'll need car hire.
It’s important that you have a convenient way of getting to the best places when on holiday to Cairns or within North Queensland. The sooner you reach picturesque spots such as the Great Barrier Reef, Palm Cove, or Airlie Beach, the more time you’ll be able to spend soaking up the sun or the sights.
Outstanding Customer Service
At 1300 Meteor Rentals, we always put our customers first. From your first phone call, we ask the right questions so that we can recommend the best car before providing a free instant quote. No hidden fees, just affordable hire rates for peace of mind that you know what you’re paying for.
We just ask for a Bond of $1,000 for 4WD's and $250 for all other vehicle types via a pre-authorisation on your Credit Card or bank issued Visa or MasterCard Debit Card with Credit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old do I need to be to rent a vehicle?
We service plenty of young adults wanting to see the splendour of Cairns and beyond for many reasons, but there are some caveats when it comes to car hire. Throughout the entirety of Australia, you can only rent a car if you are 21 years of age or more. You must hold a full driving license for at least a year prior to your hire, and any customer between 21 and 24 can only hire Economy, Mini, Compact, Standard, and Intermediate vehicles.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our cancellation fee is equivalent to one day’s rental at the normal daily rate if the client doesn’t show or makes a cancellation within two hours or after the time nominated for collection.
Does the rental car have insurance?
Our rental cars have full insurance, but customers will have to pay for damages if the vehicle sustains any in the hire period. The amount will depend upon the extent of the vehicle’s damage, and the circumstances of the original incident.
