Get a quote and discover exactly how much car hire and rental costs for your chosen vehicle in Palm Cove. We offer our Best Price Promise and a range of car hire offers but bear in mind that our vehicles and rates are subject to availability, so book early.

Do I need an Australian driving license to rent a car in Palm Cove?

The Driver must (i) hold a full, current and valid driving licence (not being a learners licence or provisional licence), (ii) have an International Driving Permit (IDP) or official translation (if a licence is not in Roman alphabet), (iii) have held their licence for minimum 12 consecutive months immediately prior to signing the Rental Agreement.

An International Driving Permit is not a stand-alone document and this must be carried with your valid domestic driving licence for it to be valid.

Digital drivers licences are only accepted in the issuing state. If you're travelling interstate you must present a physical (plastic) drivers licence.

What is the age requirement to rent a car in Palm Cove?

The minimum age to drive a vehicle with Avis is 21 years of age. All drivers must hold a current, full and valid driver's licence, that has been valid for a minimum of 12 consecutive months. A young driver surcharge may apply.

What are you supposed to do before you return a rental car in Palm Cove?

When you return your rental car to Avis, you must do so with a full tank of fuel. We also ask that you remove all your personal belongings from the vehicle. Finally, please return the car to us in a clean state, ready for the next customer to drive.

Can I return a car to the Palm Cove location before or after business hours?

There are select Avis locations that allow returns outside of business hours. Please contact the return location directly or contact the Avis Reservations team to check if this is possible on 136 333.

Do I get a refund if I return my rental car early?

If you return the vehicle before the original return date (early return), you will not be refunded any portion of your payment. This does not detract from your rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection legislation, including the Australian Consumer Law.

Can I rent a car from Palm Cove and return it to a different location?

Avis allows one way rental between select locations. Enter your details in the search widget to see available options. If you have an existing reservation, you can amend your booking online by clicking this link and following the prompts or on our mobile app. If you have collected your car and are having trouble amending your booking online, please contact the location you collected the vehicle from to check one way options.

Driving in Palm Cove

The Avis Palm Cove branch is located beside Palm Cove beach but only a short distance from the Captain Cook Highway, which lies inland to the west. This highway is ideal for reaching other parts of Queensland to the north and south. There are a couple of filling stations just to the south of Palm Cove, where the Captain Cook Highway reaches Clifton Beach. Speed limits are similar in Palm Cove to those found in other areas of Queensland. If you're in a built-up area, the default speed limit will be 50 kmh, unless you see signs telling you otherwise. Highway speed limits may be up to 110 kmh, but only in areas away from population centres. Always check for signs and notifications of safe speed limits when you drive.

Explore Palm Cove

The beach is perhaps the biggest draw to Palm Cove. Locals come here to relax and unwind, while people from all over the world head here on their holidays. Nearby, you'll also find the famous Kuranda nature reserve – a location of outstanding natural beauty and abundant wildlife.

Further southwest, the dramatic Barron Gorge and Barron Falls are certainly worth a visit. There are also a number of historical museums in the area, such as the Doongal Aboriginal Art and Artefacts Museum and the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum.
