Taking a rental to Magnetic Island? Here’s what you need to know
Pick up and return your hire vehicle at our Townsville depot, it’s just around the corner from the airport and about 10 minutes from the Magnetic Island Ferry terminal.
You’re welcome to take any of our vehicles to Magnetic Island (*conditions apply, see below). Just book your car, SUV, 4WD, or minibus with 1300 Meteor Rentals, then head to www.MagneticIslandFerries.com.au to book your ferry spot.
If you’re hiring something larger—like one of our moving trucks or a people mover with more than 5 seats, you’ll need to contact Magnetic Island Ferries directly to book. Give them a ring on (07) 4796 9300 or email hello@magneticislandferries.com.au.
A few ferry guidelines:
Vehicles under 5.5m must be under 2.5 tonnes
Vehicles between 5.6–6m must be under 3 tonnes
If you go over the weight limit, your fare may change to the campervan or truck rate. These can’t be booked online, so you’ll need to contact the office directly. Up to 5 people can ride in the car during the ferry trip - everyone must stay inside the vehicle while boarding and leaving the ferry.
*Beach use prohibited.
Unsealed roads and off-road driving
Cars and minivans can only be driven on sealed roads (except for short unsealed detours due to roadworks). If you’re planning to head off-road, we’ve got 4x4s that are allowed on unsealed roads and off-road tracks (just not beaches).
