Ever since I was a little boy our family have traveled north during the winter months usually during the schools mid semester break to get away from the cold and move our way up into the warmer sun. As we grew up our parents owned a caravan which we would tow with the family car up north every year. Over the years with all the long kilometers we had traveled the caravan outlived the cars by at least 3 to 1. It was roughly a 1500 kilometer trip from our house to Cairns which takes about 25 to 28 hours of travel time. We would do it over 2 days with a stopover in Harvey bay which was a good mid way point and a great location to stop and rest for weary travelers. Things are different these days as I have a family of my own but we don’t take a caravan anymore, instead we fly to Cairns then rent a room in a resort and hire a car through car hire Cairns airport agents to get us to all the great sightseeing places that Cairns and the surrounding areas have to offer.

Without the long haul of a 25 hour trip we not only save time but we save money on the ridiculous petrol prices. The further you travel away from the main cities the more expensive the petrol becomes because of the extra costs involved with transport. Now we just putt around town in a small fuel efficient car that we hire using the Vroom car rental comparison website. Now that I have used the site to plan nearly 6 holidays in a row it is a very simple process for me. I can choose a car and have it booked within 2 minutes of getting online. It is now a regular event to go to Cairns and see all the friends we have made over the years and we always do it with the help of the car hire Cairns airport agents.
