AVIS Car Rental at Perth Airport

Perth Airport is both an international and domestic airport located in Western Australia, a few miles from the large and popular city of Perth. It is the fourth busiest airport in Australia, handling approximately 14 million passengers per annum, and is a hub for the airline companies of Alliance Airlines, Cobham, Network Aviation, Qantas, Skippers Aviation and Skywest Airlines. Virgin Australia has an important presence as well. Car rental is possible and a good option for arriving passengers from companies such as Avis Perth Airport. Car hire is especially important for those who would like to travel to areas surrounding Perth, and who enjoy a more private form of transport.

Perth Airport is large, and divided into two sections that are a couple of kilometers apart. On the eastern side of the main runway is the International Terminal 1, and on the western side of the runway are the two domestic terminals, Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. Terminal 4 is mainly dedicated to flights by Qantas, QantasLink and Jetstar. The origin of the passenger’s flight will determine at which side of the airport they will arrive, however, the terminals are linked by free shuttle buses, and the airport’s car rental companies often have counters in all the terminal buildings.

Avis is open seven days a week at Perth Airport, from 04:30 am to 03:00 am. It is always recommended to reserve your rented car in advance from Avis, especially at busy airport locations such as Perth, as their vehicles are in high demand. Smaller models with lower prices tend to be stocked in higher numbers, however, they are also more popular than the pricier models, and therefore may not always be available. Avis’ cars are divided into various groups, for example, Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard and Full-size, and customers will receive a vehicle that is similar to the following examples: Nissan Micra, Hyundai I20, Kia Cerato, Holden Cruze and Hyundai I45. The first two seat up to four passengers while the last three mentioned have room for five. They all come with air conditioning, but some have automatic transmissions while others have manual transmissions.

From the Perth Airport car hire companies Luxury and Prestige vehicles are available as well, and if something a little larger is required, there are station wagons, full size vans and full size 4 wheel drives. The station wagons generally offer a larger space for luggage items, and are similar to the Holden SV6 Wagon. The Kia Grand Carnival is an example of a Full-size Van available, with room for up to eight passengers and five or more luggage items. This is an automatic vehicle. Other automatics for hire include the Holden Caprice, Holden Caprice V8, Mitsubishi Pajero and the Toyota RAV4.

Cars with automatic transmissions are also reserved for customers who have requested the use of Avis hand controls from Perth Airport. Hand controls are equipment that allow a person with a lower limb disability to operate the brake and accelerator pedals. Equipment to assist someone with a disability is free of charge, however, any other items hired will have extra charges. Items for hire include child seats and satellite navigation systems. A GPS unit is ideal for exploring the outback areas of Australia, and can be extremely useful when navigating cities such as Perth as well. It is often pre-loaded with points of interest, and can provide information regarding traffic conditions. Turn-by-turn directions are always provided in voice or visual mode.

Avis one way hires are another useful service that can be arranged from Perth Airport. One way hire services are ideal for anyone who is not planning to return to Perth Airport, as the vehicle may be delivered to an alternative rental location. There may be charges applicable, but the details will depend on the length of the rental period and the return location chosen. Customers, however, should confirm with Avis to where the vehicle my be driven. Vehicles hired in Western Australia may not be permitted into the Northern Territory, and are not allowed to leave Australia. Special requests that do not follow Avis’ usual regulations will need written permission from the company.

The Perth Airport car rental companies only hire vehicles to persons 21 years of age or older who hold a valid drivers license. A young driver surcharge will apply to those under the age of 25, which could amount to approximately 28.50 AUD per day of car hire. This fee is also charged per underage driver listed on the rental contract, and is applicable regardless of the length of rental. The driving license presented should have been held by the person concerned for at least a year prior to the rental date, and all licenses that are not printed in English should be accompanied by an International Driving Permit. This document serves as a translation of the local drivers license, and is, by itself, not accepted for vehicle rentals.

A major credit card will be required for payment of the vehicle, and Avis will accept Avis Charge Cards, American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard and Visa. A debit card may be used at this rental location, however, a hold will be placed on the card for the total estimated rental charges due. The funds should therefore be available at the time of vehicle collection. Only debit cards with the Mastercard or Visa logos are accepted.
