RFI: Rental Car for Getting Around Cairns

We hired a couple of cars up there in July.  Budget was heaps cheaper than 
Avis or Hertz.  We had a x-trail for about $400 for a week I think. It was 
OK though it didn't handle the dirt of Black Mtn Rd (Julatten to Kuranda 
where there are cassowaries) well after the wet so we turned back after a 
short distance.  Also don't hire from the airport; it's at least $50 more - 
just get the airport bus ($10 from memory) to drop you at the city office of 
the hirer.
