Adventure, Affordability and Freedom
As of December 2021, Gypsy Rentals has become Airlie Car Rentals!
You will still find us in the same main street location in Airlie Beach, but our logo has had a minor tweak.
We still provide the same great service and no-fuss car rental we always have.
Pop in and see us, and don’t forget to recommend us to your visiting friends and family if they need a zippy little car to get around Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Coast.
Airlie Car Rentals has just taken delivery of five (count ’em, five) brand new Toyota Yaris cars to Airlie Beach! These new cars are now available to rent in Airlie Beach at a great rate with minimal fuss.
These little beauties are a big hit with customers, and look fantastic driving around Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Coast.
What’s Great About the Yaris
These zippy little powerhouses are ‘more clever than ever’ as Toyota says. They’re perfect for an easy car rental option in the Whitsundays.
The 4-speed automatic transmission provides a smooth ride. Parking is easy, with it’s compact size, light steering and small turning circle.
They are compact yet spacious, so even those sitting in the back seat will be comfortable.
The new Toyota Yaris has lots of technological gadgets like:
Airlie Car Rentals’ 5 new Toyota Yaris cars have air conditioning and cruise control, and of course they will keep you very safe driving around the Whitsunday Coast, with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and 7 airbags.
The longer you hire, the cheaper the daily rate gets of course. So book a new Yaris from Airlie Car Rentals for your Whitsunday adventures today.

Airlie Beach is thriving with a fantastic array of restaurants at the moment. Whether you want budget or all out indulgence, burgers or fresh seafood, Airlie Beach has something for everyone. Here are some of Airlie Car Rentals’ current favourites.
La Marina
New and delicious, La Marina at the Port of Airlie does Italian cuisine beautifully! So much more than pizza and pasta, which if course they do smashingly well, every dish on the menu is a treat for your tastebuds.
Gypsy Tip: You have to book a table, even midweek. And save some room for dessert, the Zeppole is designed to be shared – cinnamon dusted donuts and strawberries with lashings of ice cream and nutella!
Fish D’Vine
In a prime beachfront location on the Esplanade in Airlie Beach, Fish D’Vine is famous far and wide for both its exquisite seafood and its insane collection of exotic rums!
Gypsy Tip: Frequently voted as the makers of the best mojito, you must try one, as well as some of their other exciting and showy cocktails like the ‘Squeaky in a Tiki’.
Airlie Treehouse
One of the only cafes with a water view, Airlie Treehouse is situated right on the lagoon. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner at affordable prices, they also serve Mr Bean Cold Brew coffee, a must try when in Airlie Beach.
Gypsy Tip: Try the Mr Coco Iced Coffee – Mr Bean mixed with Chocolate infused coconut water.
The Rocks, Coral Sea Marina
Seriously the most beautiful location in Airlie Beach, Coral Sea Marina has revamped its restaurant and pool area and is one of the hottest locations in town right now.
Gypsy Tip: Sundays are pool party days, with live DJ and a fantastic vibe.
Fat Frog Beach Café
The only eatery on Cannonvale Beach is a favourite for breakfast and lunch. It’s also the only place in Airlie Beach serving Campos coffee which has a bit of a cult following in Australia. The menu is versatile and vege/gluten free/paleo friendly, with lots of delicious options to suit everyone.
Gypsy Tip: Look for the specials, in addition to an already great menu, the specials are always innovative and seasonal.
What’s an Aussie road trip without an epic soundtrack to set the mood? Whether you like classic rock songs, country, rap, pop, songs about driving, songs about Australia, songs about summer, whatever… we’ve got some fun song suggestions that are bound to get stuck in your head!
One thing Airlie Beach does well is nightlife, and the music scene in Airlie Beach is thriving every night of the week. You can get your fix of live music in the main street of Airlie Beach, but there are also some venues further afield that are worth a visit too.
Paddy’s Shenanigans
Airlie’s one and only Irish pub is a must visit when in the Whitsundays. With two stages, there is live music every night, starting in the early evening. A solo artist will often warm up the crowd on the intimate front stage, before a band takes the rear stage to party well into the early hours of the morning.
KC’s
Known as Airlie’s original live music venue, KC’s has music for dinner every night and longer on weekends. The small stage in the centre of the restaurant makes for a loud atmosphere, but the steaks are worth it.
Anchor Bar
Fancy a swim with your live music? Head up the hill of Golden Orchid Drive to Anchor Bar, at Whitsunday Terraces. Patrons are welcome to swim in the main pool right next to the bar and restaurant, so you can enjoy a cold one, a swim and some live music on weekends.
Sorrento’s
Coral Sea Marina is a 10 minute walk from town along the beautiful boardwalk. There’ll be live music every weekend, while you enjoy one of the best sunsets in town. Also an Italian restaurant, their pizzas are amazing, and they have a 2 for 1 deal in the afternoons.
Magnums
Right in the middle of the main street, you can’t miss Magnums. It’s the biggest of the main street pubs, and offers an impressive calendar of some of the country’s best music acts, who all clamour to play here when touring Australia. There are three possible live music stages inside and out, so often there is more than one act playing at night on weekends. For big acts, you must buy tickets in advance.
The Pub
Featuring some of Australia’s best tribute acts, keep an eye on the events calendar for The Pub, at the Airlie Beach Hotel on the Esplanade. This vibrant venue is great casual spot to catch up with friends, listen to some live music, and enjoy the views across the road to the main beach at Airlie Beach.
Airlie Beach Music Festival
Have you heard of the Airlie Beach Festival of Music? Held every November, it is a 4 day weekend showcasing 74 acts across multiple venues. The town comes alive with music and you can wander the main street discovering new artists, and partying to old favourites from late morning to early morning! Check out the line up and come to Airlie Beach in November!
