This is true for all our car and truck hire options, including minibus hire, ute rental, and other services we offer. If you can't do this, we will need to charge a refuelling fee. We also ask that you remove all your personal belongings from the vehicle. Finally, please return the car to us in a clean state, ready for the next customer to drive.
You may be able to drop your car off at the Longreach location even outside of business hours. To do this, it is best to confirm with the truck and car rental team at Longreach ahead of time, and you may be able to use the key drop-off point to return your vehicle even when the branch is closed.
While Avis can offer refunds if you cancel with enough advanced notice, you will not receive a refund if you return your car early. If you take out a long term rental deal and find that your circumstances change, you'll still need to pay for the full period.

There are a number of filling stations in the area. Most of these are found just to the west of Longreach Airport in Longreach itself, along Landsborough Highway. The Landsborough Highway itself provides access to other areas of Queensland, including Rockhampton on the coast to the east. Around Longreach, you'll see that the speed limits are essentially the same as in other places around Queensland. This means 50 kmh in urban and suburban areas unless otherwise stated on signage. On the highway in rural areas, the limit may be as high as 110 kmh, but always look out for signs and notifications.
The town of Longreach is famous for its airport, which provides great links to other areas of Queensland and to Australia's major capital cities. The town itself is relatively small and provides a different aspect of Australia when compared to the hustle and bustle of Brisbane and Sydney.
As something of a gateway to the outback, Longreach offers visitors an interesting insight into the sweeping landscapes of Australia's interior. It also features numerous historical sites that offer a glimpse of what life was like in Queensland's early years. Find out more about these sights at the Longreach Visitor Centre – a location that celebrates the town's proud heritage.
