Cheap car hire at Townsville Airport (TSV) opens up a world of sunshine and freedom along this magical coastline of Queensland, Australia. With instant access to some of the world’s biggest names in car hire, you can step off the plane and directly into adventures along the Great Barrier Reef, with picture-perfect, sandy beaches along the way. The town has plenty to see by car, including water parks, aquariums and Billabong Sanctuary Wildlife Park, but it’s the independence to take road trips that will make Townsville car hire so appealing; so buckle up and head out to some of Queensland’s best-kept coastal secrets.
When you arrive at Townsville Airport, you will notice some globally reputed names of car hire at your disposal. These include National, Europcar, Thrifty, SIXT, Avis, Budget, Firefly, Alamo, Dollar, Enterprise and Keddy. During your transaction, include any add-ons you may need, such as a car seat or GPS hire, and when collecting the car, make sure you complete a preliminary body inspection, indicating the dents and scratches that were there before you drove off the lot.
When you return your cheap car hire at Townsville Airport, you will be returning it to the same parking garage where it was collected, at the end of the Arrivals hall of the airport. Driving towards the airport, you will see signage directing you to the garage. Don’t forget to clear your belongings from the car and take the keys to the counter of your car hire company. If there is an agent on site, they will inspect the car for new dents and scratches since the preliminary check and then get started on the process of refunding your deposit.
Returning your cheap car hire at Townsville Airport is an easy process, no matter what time. Car hire companies work quite late hours as a rule, so you could possibly find an agent on call. In the event they are closed, pop the keys in the after-hours box. This applies on weekends and public holidays too. Being based at the airport, with planes flying at irregular hours, you should find agents on-call far more often.

Pros:

Yes Staff was very friendly, apologised that the vehicle I had booked was not available, but gave me another vehicle which suited my reason for hiring the vehicle. I was offered a ‘Mine’ vehicle with reflector strips, but when I advised staff that I wanted a vehicle to travel to Cairns for my brother’s funeral, staff went out of their way to secure a vehicle similar to the one I had booked online Well done and very much appreciated.

Cons:

Just to make sure what one books online makes it happen that way. It turned out well in the end. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful staff at the pick-up/drop-off counter. The vehicle was a Corolla Hybrid which was surprisingly economical to drive. All good!

The truth of the matter was my event in Townsville was cancelled. I also had air tickets and accommodation to cancel. The car hire with Alamo was the easiest and nicest to cancel with. I would certainly go with them next time when my event is rescheduled.

The rental worked well. Pickup quick and easy. Car was a dream to drive. Nobody at drop off, dropped keys and was told they would check it in and send the invoice. Unfortunately we were charged twice for different amounts and no one answers the phone when you ring. Waiting for a response to our email.
