The city of Cairns is home to numerous Avis offices.

By working with organisations like Future Forest and The Carbon Neutral Company, Avis is also dedicated to protecting the environment. Together with Avis, these businesses calculate their carbon footprints and look for solutions to offset them.
The Avis fleet in Australia has three categories for you to select from: Four Wheel Drives (Group W), Small to Large (Groups A, B, C, D, E, F, L, S, K, H and V) and Signature Series (Groups XD, XE, XG, XK, XS and XW). The second category offers eleven types of vehicles: Full Size, Compact, Economy, Standard, Intermediate, Eco-Friendly, Full-Size Van, Full-Size Wagon, Full-Size SUV, Compact SUV and Intermediate SUV.
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.

I needed to extend the car rental for a day. Neither Avis nor Kayak would allow me to do this. Kayak said I needed to talk to Avis and Avis said to talk to Kayak. I will not be using kayak anymore. Terrible customer service from kayak. I will tell my cohorts about my experience with kayak.Reviewed 22 Mar 2026

Sent up to garage with wrong car parked in the spot assigned to. Told to get in line all over again. Then told they didn't have the car we paid for and reserved. Billing was WRONG on Kayak part, initially with notation of 7 million on the bill that took forever to troubleshoot. Will never rent with kayak againReviewed 21 Mar 2026

Pick up and drop off from the airport were very simple. We were slightly under the charge threshold on our electric car on return, but the employee was gracious and did not charge us for it. A very kind gesture! The car was brand new (only had 20 km on it) and sparkling clean.Reviewed 21 Mar 2026

It was determined that we might encounter severe weather conditions during our trip so the Avis attendant provided an all wheel drive car as requested. We were very thankful for the quick ability to provide for our needs in helping us reach our destination safely.Reviewed 21 Mar 2026

Honestly, the customer service was great. They responded to and addressed our concerns in a timely manner. The line to pick up was eternal and more people should have been working. Three at least. However, the agent's customer service was fantastic. Great experience overall.Reviewed 20 Mar 2026

Pick up time was 40 minutes after prechecking in. I was told that I did not have a reservation confirmed through QEEQ.Com. Had a confirmation number but somehow QEEQ dropped the ball. I called a local Avis person that was very helpful and able to help me out otherwise I really would have been giving a much worst review.Reviewed 20 Mar 2026
