Known affectionately as ‘The Sunshine State’, Queensland is all about endless coastline and buzzing, modern cities contrasted by acres of unexplored wilderness particularly as you go further north. Frequented by tourists and business people alike, and inhabited by laid-back locals, this sunny state can only be traversed properly in your own rental car.

Many people will be flying into Brisbane Airport or Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta), and from there the CBDs of Brisbane and the Gold Coast are within 30 minutes drive respectively.

You will also find leading car rental depots in popular spots such as Cairns, which is your entry point to North Queensland and the Danetree Rainforest.
