About Gem Rent-A-Car

Hi, I’m Charles Crockford, owner of Gem Rent-A-Car and a proud Cairns local. For more than 20 years our local family business has helped thousands of tourists explore beautiful North Queensland. The GEM team is polite, efficient and eager to share their local knowledge with you. Not only do we rent out cars, but we provide so much more. As locals, it’s our pleasure to help you plan your perfect holiday. We can recommend a variety of accommodation and suitable places to stay, and of course we have strong working relationships with the locals. So we can create car and accommodation packages to suit your preferences and budget. We understand that you are here to have a relaxing, fun, hassle-free holiday. So unlike the big car rental companies, you’ll have one person who will take care of you from the moment you book: A GEM team member will personally be there to hand over your keys, your maps, and share local tips on places to visit. Furthermore, we will take the time to brief you on dangerous local black spots and driving conditions with the intention of keeping you safe while out and about. We are only a phone call away if you have any concerns or questions about your trip. Does this sound good? Check out the quote. We look forward to hearing from you.

Exceptional service. Everything they claim on the website is true! Charles accommodated my last minute changes without issue, which really allowed me to explore Far North Queensland, especially the Daintree, without haste or stress. Thank you Charles Jude

Our business (Paradise in Palm Cove) has been using Gem for 8 years and have always found them reliable. Offering clean cars, no fuss paperwork and our customers have always been happy which makes us feel secure we're dealing with professionals. I'd recommend Gem Rent-a-Car, great door-to-door service, no lengthy waits at the airport for car hire or a transfer.
