I had a really great experience with Palm Cove Rent A Car. The whole process was smooth and easy from the moment Bill Zammit answered the phone. He was super friendly, welcoming and provided excellent service from start to finish. The car was clean, zippy and in great condition, and the price was competitive. I felt well looked after throughout the whole experience, making it all completely hassle-free. Just what you want on a holiday! I’d highly recommend Palm Cove Rent A Car and will definitely be using them on my next visit to Palm Cove! Going local is the best!!

Bills a bloody legend and if you don’t hire a car off him your simply not getting the best deal or the best experience in FNQ. Bent over backwards to make sure we had no stress and the easiest car rental I’ve ever done. And he was true to his word, totally gluten free! 🤣

Owner's reply
you made me laugh out loud yet again! nice to be called a bloody legend, though, don't be disappointed, i treated you and sharon exactly like i treat all the other good, kind people i deal with, However, you remain one of the only two bookings to mention "Gluten Free"! i am still laughing! it's a great way to start the working day. thank you stu and shaz,

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Easy communication, clean vehicle, and great pricing. Thanks Bill for providing a seamless service.

Owner's reply
thank you Kelly and Morck. a beautiful review. it's not hard to offer excellent service. the secret ingredient is to like the people you are dealing with. if i had known you were happy with the pricing, i wouldn't have given you post hoc the Reef house refund! take care, Bill

Succinct, and well appreciated. You were a fun customer.

Welcome to Palm Cove Rent A Car, the smallest car hire business in Australia. Tracey Vince and Bill Zammit started Palm Cove Rent A Car after COVID, recognising the potential for excellent value car hire in Palm Cove, and the need to get up off our arses and do something. In November 2026 we celebrate our fifth anniversary.  We have 1 company name, and 1 phone number.

 
We are so small we don’t need an office. We meet our guests at their accommodation.  You then drive us home again. We want your stay to be as easy as possible.
 

Tracey and Bill have lived in Palm Cove for nearly 30 years, and are veterans of the tourism industry. 

 

Everything you spend here stays here. You are not helping a CEO build their share value.  Our customers are our shareholders, and you are the ones we strive to make happy. See what people are saying about us below.

 

As the owner/operators, and “real people”, we want to help you have a sensational holiday, and look forward to meeting you.

 

Thank you for supporting a local business.

Warm Regards

Bill, Tracey, Lucky Merlin

      \\ What a fantastic business, and business owner! We are so happy to have found Bill. He was so accommodating to all of our needs, and really made our trip so much easier/ better. He and his wife Tracey were absolutely delightful. Friendly, easy to deal with, and cheaper than any other competitor! We feel so lucky to have found this lovely couple and couldn’t recommend their business more! 11/10!!
Thanks for all your help, knowledge and just being such a lovely gentleman Bill. We will be back! Mel E.

We Hired a great little car from Bill & Tracey, but the best part was meeting them! The process of hiring was unmatched, easy and quick. The price was perfect, with no hidden surprises. If you are visiting Palm Cove area, skip the airport car hire, grab a taxi to Palm Cove to see Bill & Tracey. Thank you for your time, local knowledge & laughs, we would love to come back! Jess & Nathan

Wonderful experience. Much better dealing with local family business. calls answered on mobile straight away. They arranged everything immediately for me. Bill and Tracey were such lovely people, it was a delight to deal with them. They are an asset to the Palm Cove community. Melissa
