How to save?
- Dodge the airport fees. Picking up your car in Townsville city or from an off-airport depot is usually cheaper than renting right at the terminal.
- Time your trip right. For the best deals, consider visiting during the wet season (February-April). If you're coming for a big event like the Townsville 500, booking a few months ahead is your best bet.
- Rent for longer. Grabbing a car for a week or more often slashes the daily price, saving you a good chunk of cash compared to a shorter rental.
- Pick the right ride. Unless you need the space, a smaller economy car is your cheapest option and sips less fuel on those long coastal drives.
