When it comes to choosing your car hire in Port Douglas, it comes down to whether you plan to do more of The Great Barrier Reef Drive and explore the area or whether you plan to set yourself up for an easygoing, relaxing-on-the-beach-with-cocktails kind of visit. While air conditioning is a must-have to keep you comfortable in the year-round tropical climate and a navigation system would certainly help, whether you choose from a small compact SUV or luxury vehicle is all up to you.

The speed limits on highways are usually 80-100 km/h, up to a limit of 110 km/h.
