Top tips for renting a car at Townsville airport

  • Getting a car rental at Townsville Airport (TSV) is a hassle-free process, thanks to the on-site car rental facility housing a number of car agencies including Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Budget. Inside the airport, this car rental facility is located on the ground floor, a short walkable distance from the baggage claim area. Once you have collected your baggage, you will follow the Car Rental signs all the way to the rental counters.
  • One of the key advantages of utilizing a Townsville Airport car rental as opposed to taxis and buses is the enhanced flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Unlike buses, which use fixed routes and departure schedules, a rental car allows you to decide your own time to leave the airport and the routes to take depending on your convenience. If you are to connect to several destinations from the airport, it is cheaper to rent a car than to use taxis each of the time you are traveling. Castle Hill Lookout and Strand Park are among the popular attraction sites you can conveniently connect to from TSV airport using a rental car.
  • You can only book a car rental at Townsville Airport if you are 21 years or older. At the time of picking up your car, you need to have two mandatory documents. You need a valid driver’s license, which must have been in your possession for at least one year. The second document, which also doubles up as a means of payment, is a major credit card. However, if you are a foreigner, you need an international driving permit and a valid passport.
  • When you pick up a car rental at Townsville Airport, you have the option of either returning it to this airport location, or a different location depending on your intended destination. If you are planning to drive your car to a location far away from the airport and outside Queensland, you should consider a one-way rental option. This allows you to return the car to a location different from the pickup location, which is TSV airport.
  • Book your rental car at Townsville airport at least 5 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
