Equipment Options & Special Requests

Most vehicles are not equipped with their own navigation system and Avis no longer offers GPS units for rent in Australia or New Zealand. GPS units are available from select international locations. Please check at time of booking for availability and pricing.

If you're travelling with young ones, Avis has both child safety and booster seats available for hire from most locations. For pricing and availability refer to the recommended extras and equipment tab on step 3 of the booking process. For more information on these seats please click here.

Our standard car fleets are not equiped with tow bars and these vehicles are not permitted to tow.

However some of our commerical vehicles do have this capability. Please check with the location directly for further information on towing with commercial vehicles.

You will find Hand Control Vehicles available to rent from Avis in selected locations across Australia. You can find out more about Avis Hand Control Vehicle rental here.

We have the Kia Stonic and the Renault Koleos available to rent with hand control equipment. These vehicles are fitted with the Fadiel Italiana Ergonomic Radial Accelerator and Brake Lever. This is a quality hand control designed for operation with limited dexterity, and easily operated by those with dexterity too.

To hire a Hand Control Vehicle, please call reservations on 136 333.

Snow chains, or tire chains, are devices fitted to the tires of vehicles to provide increased traction when driving through snow and ice.

Please see our Snow Cover page for full restrictions and details.

We do not provide advice on how to fit snow chains.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate driving equipment (such as snow chains) suitable to the vehicle and that they are fitted as per manufacturers instructions.

Please see our Snow Cover page for full restrictions and details.
