Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car at Townsville Airport (TSV)?

On average, car rentals at Townsville Airport (TSV) cost around AUD $172.24 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $74.09 per day.

How to pay less?
  • Compare your options. Prices vary a lot between rental companies, even for the exact same car. A quick search on a comparison site shows you everything at once.

  • Book a full week if you can. Renting for 7+ days often triggers a big discount. For busy times like Townsville's school holidays or the Townsville 500 race in July, booking a few months ahead is a smart move.

  • Pick up your car in the city. You can sometimes avoid airport fees by collecting your rental from a depot in Townsville itself. Just weigh up the cost of a taxi or rideshare to get there.

  • Don't book more car than you need. A smaller car is almost always cheaper to rent and uses less fuel. Mid-size sedans in Townsville often hit the sweet spot for value.

  • Fill 'er up before you return. Always choose the 'full-to-full' fuel policy and top up the tank yourself. Letting the rental company do it will cost you way more per litre.

  • Stick to one driver if possible. Adding an extra driver usually costs a daily fee, though some companies offer a free spouse. Check the policy details before you book.
