Rent a Car at Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT)

Acceptance of the Loss Damage Waiver relieves the renter and authorized additional drivers of responsibility for loss of, or damage to the Avis car, when they comply with the terms and conditions listed on the rental document jacket. At the time of rental, the customer must initial whether he/she accepts or declines the LDW and optional services. LDW and optional services must be signed for at the rental counter.
LDW is taxable.

If LDW is not accepted, the customer is financially responsible for the full value of:

• Accident damage
• Glass damage
• Stolen items (radio, battery, etc.)
• Vandalism
• Theft of the car

Exceptions:

In Wisconsin, if LDW is not accepted, the renter is liable for all loss or damage to the Avis car due to an accident or reckless, wanton behavior.

In Illinois, if LDW is not accepted, the customer is financially responsible for up to the full value of the vehicle.
In cases of theft not due to the customer’s negligence, the customer liability would vary based on the vehicle group rented, ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. 
If the theft occurs due to the customer’s negligence or complicity, the customer is financially responsible for up to the full value of the vehicle.

Canceling LDW
Once LDW has been purchased, it must remain on the contract. The customer has the option to return the car & close the rental agreement; however, this could change the rate for the rental agreement and a different, possibly higher, rate could apply for a new rental.

Exceptions:
Customers who rent in New York and purchase LDW in New York can decide to cancel this service at no charge, within specific guidelines:

• Rental must be 2 days or more.
• The cancellation must be within the first 24 hours of the rental.
• The actual renter must take the car to an Avis location for inspection & must sign a cancellation notice.

Loss of Use
The customer may also be responsible for reimbursing Avis for the revenue lost by not being able to use the car while it is being repaired or not recovered due to theft (referred to as Loss of Use).

Global insurance coverages are always subject to change. Please verify at time of rental.

Avis accepts most major credit cards as credit identification at the time of rental.  The renter's name must be on the credit card.

Accepted credit card list:  Avis Charge Card, American Express, AT&T Capital, Diner's Club Int'l, Discover, China UnionPay, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa.  Some locations may not accept each of the referenced cards.

Avis may request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated rental charges of the rental, but reserves the right in its sole discretion to request an extra value to be based on certain factors as we deem appropriate:

• Most rentals may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200.00 USD.
• If you have prepaid the rental, the hold amount will be $250.00 USD.

While this hold is in place, the funds will not be available for your use.  When the rental is over, we will process the reversal, but the bank may take time to post it back to the account.

Note: Prepaid credit cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a car at any location.  One of the above mentioned cards must be presented.  Prepaid credit cards are accepted at time of return only, if we can obtain full authorization from the card bank for the total charges due.

Participating locations will accept a Debit card, however, it must have an accepted bank processing logo (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc) at the time of rental if you are at least 25 years of age with the following requirements:

• The name of the renter must be on the debit card.
• A debit card is accepted as credit identification for Economy cars, Compact cars, Intermediate cars, Standard cars, Full-Size cars, Intermediate SUV’s, Premium cars, Passenger Vans, Standard Elite SUV’s, Minivans, or Standard SUV’s. The rental of any other vehicle category will require a major credit card.
• You will be subject to a credit check to determine and ensure credit worthiness before releasing the car to you.  If your credit file is frozen with Equifax, you will be required to lift the restriction prior to your rental.  Lifting the restriction does not guarantee that you will be able to rent a vehicle as you will still be subject to a credit check.

Avis may request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated rental charges of the rental, but reserves the right in its sole discretion to request an extra value to be based on certain factors as we deem appropriate:

• Most rentals may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200 USD.
• Rentals of 4 days or more may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $300 USD.
• If you have prepaid the rental with a debit card, the hold is $250.00 USD.

THESE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE.  When the rental is over we will process the reversal, but the bank may take time to post it back to the account.  If you fail to return the vehicle as agreed, Avis will obtain additional authorizations from your account to cover the rental charges.  Avis is not responsible for any returned checks or overdraft fees based on this policy.

Positive identification in addition to your driver's license may be required.

Note: Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a car at any location.  Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are accepted at time of return only.

At time of pick-up, driver must present a valid, U.S.-issued driver's license and credit card (or debit card at participating locations) in the driver's name.  If the driver's license is not issued in the U.S., you must present your drivers license and either a passport or a Canadian enhanced license in the driver's name.

If you do not pay cash for tolls, you automatically opt into our e-toll service to which you agree to pay us or our toll program administrator with whom we will share your credit card/debit information for all tolls incurred during your rental and all related fees, charges and penalties. The e-toll fees may take 4-8 weeks after the rental to be billed to your credit card/debit card on file.
