About Renting a Car at Airlie Center
Airlie Beach is the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and one of Queensland's most visited coastal communities. With a rental car from one of the 5 agencies in the center, you have the freedom to explore the coast on your own terms. From here, it's easy to reach both the harbor and the surrounding national park areas.
Airlie Beach is about 25 km north of Proserpine and approximately 1,130 km north of Brisbane along Bruce Highway. The center is compact but the surrounding areas require a car – Conway National Park is reached in 15 minutes and Proserpine airport (PPP) is 30 km to the south. Book a rental car in advance during peak season June–September when demand is high.
Choose a car with high ground clearance if you plan to drive to remote beaches like Hideaway Bay, about 45 km to the north. Parking in the center is limited – ask your rental agency about suitable parking options near the harbor. Which rental agencies are in Airlie Beach center?
