I am wondering if it will be possible to add another driver to my reservation at a different location than I picked it up from? The location I reserved is like 85 miles away so it doesn't make sense to drive back to do it.
I don't think you can. The additional driver, for liability reasons, has to be added before picking up the car at that location.

This can be found at: Avis.com->Customer Service->FAQ->USA->Reservations->Rental Policies/Terms & Conditions (they don't offer a direct link to it)
Additional driver fees (if not one of the 4 gratis classifications that IAHTraveler mentioned) run ~ $13/day, depending on the rental location.
