Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Palm Island?
Set your own course in Palm Island, with car rental prices as low as per day. That’s based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it’ll be a cinch to find a ride that meets your needs.
What happens if I need to cancel my Palm Island car reservation?
No need to worry. You should receive all of your money back if you cancel a minimum of six hours before pickup. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to check the home agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Palm Island?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium … It’s up to you! However, compact models are the top pick in Palm Island. If you want something reasonably priced and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is the perfect choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact vehicles are a little roomier than economy models and are well-suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Palm Island?
Everyone knows that Palm Island is one of the top holiday destinations in Hinchinbrook Shire. But you’ll also find many other wonderful spots to explore when you reserve your ride and hit the road. Here are a few suggestions to get your trip off to a superb start:

  • Roughly 72 kilometres from Palm Island, Townsville is on the itinerary of many visitors. With popular sights like Queensland Country Bank Stadium, you’ll have no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Germantown, around 129 kilometres away, also promises a good time. Wondering what there is to see? Paronella Park is our top pick.
  • After a long stint behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time out in nature at Whitehaven Beach. It’s approximately 322 kilometres from Palm Island.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Palm Island with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and home providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Palm Island car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palm Island?
If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a car in Palm Island. Be aware that home outlets will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren’t permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the fine print before booking to avoid any problems at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Palm Island?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Palm Island?
Unlike the States, people in Palm Island drive on the left-hand side. Having the driver’s seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Palm Island?
Yes. We partner with reputable companies that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all types of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Palm Island — or beyond!
Where can I find a Palm Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home car companies operating in Palm Island. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
