When you book Avis hire cars in Cairns, you will be offered a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), also called a standard excess, in your hire. This reduces the customer's liability in the event that the car is damaged, lost or stolen, from the total cost of the hire car to the pre-agreed excess. Additionally, there are two additional coverage choices available: excess reduction or zero excess. The first you may select when you book online and further reduces your excess. The latter is available when picking up your car in person and gives you complete coverage in your hire car, from your tyres to your windscreen. These last two options are capped at 10 days of excess reduction in a 30-day period.

The rental pick-up was a bit tedious...very long wait in line...Reviewed 3 Jun 2026

The car was dirty when we arrived. Fingernails and grime. We started driving and later noticed that the oil hadn’t been serviced. When we got up to speed, at 60 mph the back tire had a wobble to it. Especially when braking. We tried to do the right thing and return/swap out the vehicle and the Avis agent sent us on a wild goose chase to try and rectify what we were dealing with. Long story short, they didn’t have any vehicles to swap us to, so we were stuck feeling unsafe the entire rental.Reviewed 3 Jun 2026

The pick up and drop off were very poor. It took a while to get through a very long line at the airport to get the car. The car was great and we enjoyed driving it very much. The drop off was a disaster. There was not enough room to drop off your car. It caused a major traffic jam inside the garage where the cars were dropped off.Reviewed 3 Jun 2026

When you have an offer for a surprise car, labelled Special Car, it should not be a Toyota Corolla? Not for $150 per day. I felt this was very misleading. I definitely felt duped with this one.Reviewed 1 Jun 2026

Our pickup time was at 10am and we did not receive a car in SLC until 3:30pm. This caused us to have quite a bit of inconvenience in having to leave the AVIS rental location and wait until they called us later in the day when a car was ready. While we received a nice rental vehicle, it wasn’t overly clean. The dropoff in Omaha went smoothly.Reviewed 31 May 2026
