At Avis, the safety and wellbeing of our customers and staff is our number one priority. As the world continues to recover and reopen, we’re maintaining our enhanced safety protocols, as well as flexibility for bookings. Car rental can provide a private travel solution, a safer alternative to some other transport modes where the customer can control their own environment.

Booking with confidence

CAN I RESERVE A VEHICLE WITH FLEXIBILITY TO CHANGE OR CANCEL? I HAVE A BOOKING AND NEED TO CANCEL BECAUSE OF COVID-19. WHAT DO I DO?

To travel with complete flexibility, select the Pay at Counter option. This option offers free modifications or cancellations at any time.

If you have a booking and need to cancel because of Covid-19, please contact our reservations team at reservations@avis.com.au or call 136 333.

CAN I TRAVEL WITHIN MY STATE OR TERRITORY? CAN I TRAVEL INTERSTATE?

States and Territories have applied their own restrictions to intra and interstate travel, including closing their state borders. Prior to making a booking, we advise all customers to keep updated on the latest State and Territory developments here.

Keeping you safe

WHAT STEPS ARE AVIS TAKING TO ENSURE MY COLLECTION AND DROP OFF IS SAFE AND MY VEHICLE IS SANITISED

The Avis Safety Pledge is our relentless commitment to keep every one of our customers and employees safe. All vehicles are cleaned before every rental, paying special attention to high touch point surfaces. Find out more about our cleaning protocols and our 15-point cleaning checklist here.

CAN I PICK UP MY VEHICLE WITH MINIMAL CONTACT?

The safety pledge allows customers to pick up and drop off vehicles with minimal contact. The contactless experience can be further enhanced by using Digital Chek In or the Avis App, especially for Avis Preferred customers, the free to join loyalty scheme. Customers can benefit from a fast track service, and at selected locations bypass the rental desk completely with straight to vehicle access.

DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK OR CHECK IN WHEN I COLLECT/RETURN A VEHICLE?

Yes, it is a requirement to wear a mask at all times, where mandated by state and territory health orders. You may also be asked to check in using a QR code, for contact tracing purposes, where required. 

Location opening hours and closures

ARE YOUR LOCATION HOURS CHANGING OR CLOSING? HOW WILL CUSTOMERS KNOW WHERE TO GO?

We strive to keep the majority of our locations open and fully operational. However, due to various travel and government restrictions, some of our locations may have reduced hours or be temporarily closed.

If that occurs, and you have an upcoming rental, you will be contacted by a member of our local team, who will advise on the nearby substitute location for you to pick up or drop off your rental vehicle.

The following Avis Australia locations are closed until further notice:
