JUCY tips for vehicle pick-up
Do your online check-in – it’s just as important as checking in for a flight, only heaps more fun.
Rock up at your scheduled time so you can get on the road faster.
Bring your driver’s licence (for all JUCY drivers) and a credit card or debit card for your bond.
Check your booking details within the Check-in Portal before you arrive – it’s the place to add JUCY extras like excess reduction, or that handy camping table and chairs.
When you arrive, allow extra time for your campervan handover – so we can show you the ropes! You can also watch our instructional videos ahead of time on our Help Hub.

Cairns is your gateway to some of Queensland’s most iconic adventures! Drive north along the coast to Cape Tribulation and the Daintree Rainforest, explore the Atherton Tablelands for waterfalls and wildlife, or take a short trip out to Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef. With your JUCY campervan or motorhome, the tropics are yours to explore at your own pace, whether it's a long road trip or a weekend getaway. Cross the Daintree River on the car ferry and cruise up to Cape Tribulation, then turn around there: the Bloomfield Track further north is a 4WD-only road, and JUCY wheels stay on sealed roads. Our guide to the best things to do in Cairns has heaps more ideas.
One-way campervan and motorhome rentals are available from Cairns, so you can pick up here and drop off at another JUCY branch, like Brisbane. One-way hires run between selected branches, are approved as part of your booking and depend on availability. The one-way fee for your vehicle and direction is added to your quote online, so you'll see it before you book.
Cairns is your tropical springboard to some of Australia’s most iconic adventures. Head west to Darwin for a Top End journey filled with national parks, waterfalls and crocodile country. For an inland adventure, make the long, red-dirt run to Alice Springs, passing through outback towns and desert landscapes. If you prefer coastal cruising, travel south to Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays for sailing, beaches and reef time. And if you’re up for a bigger road trip, keep rolling toward Brisbane or even all the way to Melbourne, taking in sunny coastlines, hinterland towns and major cities along the way. From remote tracks to iconic east-coast highways, Cairns sits at the top of some unforgettable Aussie routes.
The cost to hire a campervan in Cairns depends on the vehicle you pick, your travel dates and how long you're on the road, as rates and minimum hire periods change with the season and availability. Every JUCY campervan and motorhome hire includes unlimited kilometres, 24-hour roadside assistance, linen, towels and kitchen gear, so there are no per-kilometre charges. Pop your dates into our booking page to see live prices from our Cairns branch.
You have to be at least 18 to hire a campervan in Australia with JUCY. Every driver needs a full driver licence (an Australian Green P2 licence is fine too), and if it isn't in English, bring an International Driver Permit or certified translation with it. Learner and P1 licences aren't accepted, so check every driver's licence before you pick up in Cairns.
You can't sleep just anywhere in a campervan in Australia: council laws ban free camping on the side of the road near towns and cities like Cairns, and camping outside a designated free camping zone can earn you a hefty fine. Book a holiday park instead. Cairns Holiday Park on Little Street is about 5km from Cairns Airport and has powered sites for campervans. Planning a few nights further out? Read our guide to free camping in Australia before you go.
The best time to visit Cairns in a campervan is the dry season, from May to October. The Bureau of Meteorology averages for Cairns Airport show under 100mm of rain a month across those months and just five to seven rainy days a month from June to October. The wet season peaks from January to March, with more than 400mm a month, so plan some indoor days if you're road tripping then. Average highs stay above 25°C all year round.
