Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Cooktown car reservation?
Read through your rental policy to be sure, but almost all prepaid rentals qualify for a complete refund if you notify us at least six hours prior to the collection time. There are some exceptions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just click through to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Cooktown?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
Can I drive in Cooktown with my U.S. Driver's license?
The answer is yes. But we recommend you also apply for an International Driving Permit. With both your license and a permit in your wallet, you’ll have all the bases covered for driving in and around Cooktown.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cooktown?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a ride that’s all yours for however long you need.
Where can I find a Cooktown car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Cooktown supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering should have all the information you need.
