The Whitsundays
[ ]
 The north Queensland region of Australia has so much to offer the car hire traveler, if you are ever in the area you should do yourself a favour and visit some of the local landmarks. If you love tropical paradises be sure to visit the Whitsundays. It's not even half a day's drive south from our Australia Car Rental branch in Cairns. Take some time to unwind and relax and soak up some sun at this gorgeous holiday destination.
Situated between Townsville and Mackay the Whitsundays region is 900 kilometres (560 mi) north of the state capital of Brisbane. It is approximately a 12 hour drive along the Bruce Highway from our Brisbane car rental branch. This pristine coastal region is bordered by the Great Barrier Reef and 74 tropical islands in the warm, calm waters of the Coral Sea. From our Car Hire Australia branch in Cairns it is less than half a day's drive, if you leave in the morning you will be there before dark.
Most tourist destinations are accessible with one of our Car Rental vehicles. We believe Car Hire is the best way to get around while you are on holiday. Even if you are only visiting for business the area has much to offer during your quiet time.
Airlie Beach
Airlie Beach has much to offer the Car Hire traveller. Not only is it a popular destination for international travelers, but many locals also visit this stretch of sub-tropical coast line. It is a colourful seaside holiday town which is the gateway to the Whitsundays. As you drive into town in your rental car you will be greeted by the sight of the breathtaking blue ocean. Airlie is the ideal base camp for a Whitsundays holiday. Take your Australia Car Rental vehicle and cruise along the coast to take in the full beauty of the area.
Airlie Beach offers a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets. Options include beach side resorts, hill top villas, bed and breakfast, motels, camping and caravan parks and even a choice of backpacker accommodation. Cruise through town in one of our rental cars and check it out for yourself.
Bowen
Bowen can be found a short 40 minute drive in one of our Car Hire vehicles north from Airlie Beach. It's a picturesque seaside town that is home to eight palm lined tropical beaches. It also has a great reef, beach and estuary fishing. With at least eight hours of sunshine all year long it can safely boast to have Australia's best climate.
Bowen's family friendly pristine beaches have recreational facilities including barbecues, picnic tables, children's playgrounds and immaculate parkland. Pack a picnic lunch into the boot of your Car Hire vehicle and spend the day relaxing by the seaside.
