JUCY airport shuttle
Whether you’re exploring Cairns or heading out to the region’s more faraway sights, we know you want to spend your time on your journey, not waiting for a car. That’s why we kick your JUCY experience off with a free airport shuttle ride.
Here’s what you need to do to get yours during our business hours:
- Once you’ve got your luggage, give us a call on 1800 150 850. Press 1 and follow the prompts, to book your spot. For both the domestic and international terminals, exit the airport and follow the signs to the courtesy coach pick up area. We’d say keep an eye out for our bus, but it’s green and purple, so it’s pretty hard to miss! Our last airport pick up is 3.30pm on weekdays and 1.30pm on weekends.
- If you’re already in town, it’s approximately $10 in an Uber, or you can reach us on foot in about 20 minutes.
Picking up your vehicle
If you’re arriving during our branch opening hours, our friendly JUCY crew will be ready and waiting.

- Make your own way to our branch at 55 Dutton Street in Portsmith.
- The keys to your adventure are sitting in the lockboxes in the front right corner of the building. (Psst, just past the windows.)
- Your name will be on the box as a handy clue. On that box, enter the last four digits of your rental agreement number as the lock combination. This might look like: if your confirmation number is 1234567, you’ll move the lock key numbers to 4567.
