Why Hire a Ute in Cairns with SIXT?

Whether you need a sturdy workhorse for a job site, extra space for moving heavy loads, or a rugged vehicle for an outdoor adventure, a ute rental in Cairns gives you the power and flexibility to tackle any task. With its large tray, towing capacity, and durability, a ute is a great option for both business and leisure.

SIXT offers a range of utes to suit different needs, from single cab utes with extra tray space to dual cab models for additional passenger seating. If you’re heading off-road to explore Cairns' national parks or remote beaches, our 4WD ute options provide the traction and clearance needed for rugged terrain.

With competitive pricing, unlimited kilometre options on select rentals, and convenient pick-up locations in the city and at Cairns Airport, SIXT makes hiring a ute easy and stress-free.

How You Can Use a Ute Hire in Cairns

A ute in Cairns is a versatile solution for all kinds of tasks, from work and transport to adventure and recreation.

Get the job done with ease

For tradies and businesses, a ute is essential for carrying tools, equipment, and building materials to and from job sites. If you’re a local business needing an extra vehicle for deliveries, stock transport, or short-term projects, a SIXT ute rental provides a cost-effective way to get the job done.

Move it all in one go

If you’re moving house, picking up large furniture, or transporting bulky items, the spacious tray of a ute makes it far easier than squeezing everything into a standard car. Plus, for those planning a weekend getaway, a ute is the perfect adventure vehicle. Whether you're camping at Lake Tinaroo, fishing at Trinity Inlet, or driving to Ellis Beach for a surf trip, a ute gives you plenty of room for gear, eskies, and outdoor equipment.

Explore without limits

For more rugged adventures, a 4WD ute rental in Cairns is ideal for off-road destinations like the Bloomfield Track, Cape Tribulation, and the Savannah Way. These routes demand a high-clearance vehicle that can handle gravel roads, river crossings, and uneven terrain - a challenge easily met by a SIXT ute.

Top Destinations to Visit with a Ute in Cairns

With a ute hire in Cairns, you can explore rainforests, beaches, and rugged outback tracks at your own pace.

Atherton Tablelands: Just 90 minutes from Cairns, this scenic region is home to waterfalls, crater lakes, and hiking trails. A ute is great for carrying camping gear or mountain bikes as you explore Millaa Millaa Falls, Lake Tinaroo, and the Herberton Historical Village.

Cape Tribulation & the Daintree Rainforest: One of Australia’s most breathtaking drives, this trip takes you into the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, crossing the Daintree River Ferry. A 4WD ute is recommended if you're venturing beyond Cape Tribulation to explore remote beaches and unsealed tracks like the Bloomfield Track.

Port Douglas & Mossman Gorge: A scenic cruise along the Great Barrier Reef Drive leads to Port Douglas, a charming town known for its beaches, cafes, and local markets. A ute is handy for transporting surfboards, snorkelling gear, or even market finds, while nearby Mossman Gorge offers boardwalk trails and rainforest swimming spots.

Barron Gorge National Park: Just 30 minutes from Cairns, this national park is great for hiking, 4WD exploration, and photography. If you’re looking for a quick nature escape with stunning waterfalls and rugged landscapes, a SIXT ute makes exploring the rugged terrain effortless while providing plenty of space for all your adventure gear.
