A 12 seater van hire means everyone in the group travels together, in one vehicle, with room for the gear too. If you're planning a family trip, a work outing or a road trip with friends around Cairns, Townsville or Mount Isa, it beats splitting into two or three cars. First time renting a van? Read our guide.
Splitting a large group across multiple cars means coordination headaches, who's driving who, where everyone's meeting, someone inevitably falling behind. One 12 seater van fixes that, everyone rides together and arrives together.
Comfort and safety for the whole group
The Toyota Commuter seats all 12 passengers with proper seat belts and dual air conditioning, so nobody's cramped or overheating on a longer drive. It's fitted with dual airbags, and powered by a 3.0L turbo diesel engine, enough for city driving and the more rugged stretches heading out toward Mount Isa or up around the Tablelands.
Suits most group trips
Camping or a family trip around Cairns or Townsville, with room for tents, fishing rods and beach gear alongside the group. Team building days or work trips, where keeping everyone in one vehicle saves time and the hassle of coordinating separate cars. Road trips with friends, no carpooling logistics, everyone just gets in. School trips or sports teams, fitting the group and their gear into one van instead of juggling several.
Tow extra gear if you need it
The van comes fitted with a towbar, so a luggage trailer can go on the back for anything that won't fit inside, camping equipment, a boat, extra bags. It'll tow a braked trailer up to 1,000kg or an unbraked trailer up to 400kg.
Available across Cairns, Townsville and Mount Isa
12 seater van hire is available at all three depots, Cairns, Townsville and Mount Isa. Whichever city you're starting from, the same vehicle and towing options are available.
Extra luggage space
