Discounts
An Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) number may be found in newspapers, magazines or television ads, by clicking banner ads on websites, or on Avis.com.
If you're a member of an organization or company that partners with Avis, please contact that organization directly and ask whether it has an Avis Worldwide Discount number you may use for your rental.
Enter your AWD in the field labeled "Avis Worldwide Discount Number (AWD) or Rate Code" on the homepage, or during the first step of the reservation process. We'll use the AWD you enter to calculate your rental rate and benefits.
Coupons
Coupons may be entered on the Homepage by clicking the Add a Coupon link at the bottom of the widget. Discounts for dollars off, percentage off, free days and extra days will be reflected in the prices quoted on Avis.com. Upgrades and additional driver discounts will be handled at the rental counter when the vehicle is picked up.
Rates
In most cases, the minimum rental charge is for one day and is based on a 24-hour period. . Beyond the 24-hour period, an hourly rate will be calculated as three-fourths (¾) the daily rate plus $.01 for daily and weekend rates and one-half (½) the daily rate plus $.01 for weekly rates. For example, a daily rate of $30.00 per day would equate to an hourly rate of $22.51 per day and a weekly rate $30.00 per day would equate to an hourly rate of $15.01. If a rental exceeds a 24-hour period by 1.5 hours, a 2-day charge will apply.
Generally, "weekend rates" apply on rentals beginning after 11:59 AM on a Thursday, and require the car to be returned by 11:59 PM on the following Monday. If the vehicle is returned later, the weekend rate will not apply to the rental.

Changes to Reservations
Please be aware that any changes to your original rental may impact your rate. If you wish to extend any rental once you have picked up your vehicle, in the U.S. you must contact an Avis reservation agent at 1-800-230-4898.
Please note that at U.S. and Canadian corporate-operated locations, a service fee of up to $15 will apply and your original per-day rental rate may change. Your reservation agent will provide all details when you call. If you don't call to notify Avis that you will be keeping the vehicle longer then expected within 7 hours of your originally scheduled return time to extend your rental, a late fee of up to $15/day will apply.
Also, if you choose not to return the car on or before your originally scheduled return date, we will place an additional hold on your debit or credit card to cover the additional expected rental charges. Upon your return of the car, the holds will be released, and the actual cost of the rental will be charged. Your bank may take up to two weeks to post the released credit hold to your card. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for any returned checks due to debit card hold processing.
To extend a rental in another country, we will be happy to accommodate your request if possible, however, we recommend contacting the rental location directly.
Mileage
Most Avis rental rates include either unlimited mileage or a pre-designated number of included miles per day/week/month as part of the rate structure. If you exceed the number of pre-designated miles, a mileage charge will apply for the additional miles driven. If there is a mileage allowance in conjunction with an additional mileage charge, you will be advised at the time you request your rate information
