FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a car in Townsville?
To provide you with an estimate, we need to know more about your hire period, the car you want, and how long you need it for. When you choose one of the rentals at Avis.com.au, you’ll save money no matter which option you choose.
What's the speed limit in Townsville?
Townsville is a city in North Queensland with a population just under 200,000. Just like other Australian cities, speed limits in Townsville vary based on population density and road infrastructure. Queensland road rules set a default limit of 50 km/h in built-up areas, and an upper limit of 100 km/h outside of these areas. Other limits apply when signposted, with 60 km/h, 70 km/h, and 80 km/h common on many connecting roads. You should assume a speed limit of 50 km/h unless signed, and remember to reduce your speed to 40 km/h or lower in school zones.
Do I need an Australian driving license to rent a car in Townsville?
The Driver must (i) hold a full, current and valid driving licence (not being a learners licence or provisional licence), (ii) have an International Driving Permit (IDP) or official translation (if a licence is not in Roman alphabet), (iii) have held their licence for minimum 12 consecutive months immediately prior to signing the Rental Agreement.
An International Driving Permit is not a stand-alone document and this must be carried with your valid domestic driving licence for it to be valid.
Digital drivers licences are only accepted in the issuing state. If you're travelling interstate you must present a physical (plastic) drivers licence.
What is the age requirement to rent a car in Townsville?
The minimum age to drive a vehicle with Avis is 21 years of age. All drivers must hold a current, full and valid driver's licence, that has been valid for a minimum of 12 consecutive months. A young driver surcharge may apply.
What are you supposed to do before you return a rental car at Townsville?
When you return your rental car to Avis, you must do so with a full tank of fuel. 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.
Can I return a car to the Townsville location before or after business hours?
There are select Avis locations that allow returns outside of business hours. Please contact the return location directly or contact the Avis Reservations team to check if this is possible on 136 333.
Do I get a refund if I return my rental car early?
If you return the vehicle before the original return date (early return), you will not be refunded any portion of your payment. This does not detract from your rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection legislation, including the Australian Consumer Law.
