“Mini Car Rentals provided us with an excellent small car at cheap rates. It was booked quite late and they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. The man we dealt with (sorry we can’t remember his name) was friendly, funny and a mine of information. We would definitely recommend this company.”

“Mini car rentals were brilliant. The staff from our hotel rang them up and within 10 minutes someone came to pick us up and take us to their shop to sign the paperwork, and we had the car within the hour. Everything was professionally done and it made me feel really safe and secure with the rental. It was very affordable even with the small surcharge for me being under 25 (all rental companies charge a levy for drivers age 21-24 in Australia). I had an excellent experience and all I can say is hire your rental car from here!”

Pauline Emery

“Great service, great rate, great car, great staff! We also received good tourist information. Our journey was great.”

“I stayed at Dreamtime Backpackers Rest (hostel) and they recommended this rental car company; were able to get a little discount through our hostel. This was my first time renting a car and it was an excellent experience. I thought it was very affordable for two days. The owner picked us up at our hostel. The process of filling out the paperwork went smoothly. Someone from the company gave us directions, suggestions, and other helpful information. We had an excellent time travelling through the Tablelands and to the Daintree Rainforest. I highly recommend this company!”

Ian B.

“Great car hire service in Cairns! Most affordable rates and able to plan my day trip with free maps of the local Cairns area and discount vouchers to local attractions. Will definitely use this company whenever I’m in Cairns and need a hire car to get around. Hiring a car in Cairns is definitely worth while – saying from experience.”

Dave King

“Had a great experience with Anne (I think), from Mini Car Rentals. Just a walk in renter, it was easy, quick and a much better value than i was expecting. We even got a ride to the airport the next day! Couldn’t recommend these guys any more.
i’ll definitely be back next time i’m in Cairns.”

Sharon Lovin

“I have known Mike and Anne for over 10 years. I can assure you they are best in the independent car rental industry. Service is their strong suit. Prices are competitive, and good selection of vehicles to meet your travel needs. Call them first is my recommendation.”

Adrian Iliescu

“Great customer service experience, very accommodating staff and low prices! Quick process to rent and get out on the road as well.

Will definitely rent here again next time I’m in Cairns.”

Mark Standen

“I was the dreaded ‘walk-in’ customer with no booking and they couldn’t have been more helpful. We only had a single day in Cairns as a stop-over and instead of something boring I drove away in a cool little Mini Cooper. The family and I took a glorious drive up to Port Douglas and back. Mini Car Rentals really made our (short) stay in Cairns one to to remember.”

Julia Mitchell

Albany, Western Australia

“Just used this firm to hire a car for the day to have tiki tour around Cairns, Port Douglas and the fabulous Mossman Gorge. Great little car which was tidy and very economical with fuel. Great customer service from a local family owned business. They picked us up from the ship and dropped us back at the ship. Cheap as chips and highly recommended. Thanks.”
