CAR RENTAL Croydon Commercial Vehicles (A2H)

Pay Now Terms & Conditions

Booking Conditions

• At time of pick-up, location specific rental qualification rules apply to your rental. You must also agree to the rental terms and conditions (Rental Agreement) unless you are an Avis Preferred member and have opted into the master rental agreement. You must comply with our Rental Requirements. The full name on the reservation must match the name of the person collecting the vehicle as validated on their drivers license and credit/debit card. If the names do not match, it may be deemed by Avis as a non-permissible change to your Pay Now reservation and Avis may be required to cancel and re-book at the current rates (including any reasonable and applicable cancellation fees).

Pay now and Pay at Location

• With Pay Now bookings, you pay for the rental period and optional extras when you book. Not all optional extras are capable of being pre-paid. Any optional extras that have been pre-booked but that cannot be pre-paid will be designated as Pay at Location and the conditions regarding Pay at Location may apply.
• Additional charges may apply at the end of the rental period and must be paid at the relevant location (e.g. fuel charges and extending your rental period, however, we cannot guarantee that your pre-paid daily car rate will apply).

• At the start of your rental, a hold will be placed on your credit/debit card for the total estimated rental charges plus an additional pre-authorization of up to $200 for all passenger and Signature Series vehicles and $400 for all commercial vehicles.  You must use an approved payment card that is in your name and has enough funds available.

  A pre-authorization holds an amount of money in your account.  

  • Once a pre-authorization has been held, you will not be able to use that money.
  • At the end of your rental, the final payment amount will be processed and if applicable, the unused portion will be released.  Depending on your bank, the money is usually released within 7-10 working days.  Avis will not be held responsible for any overdraft. 

Changing your booking - all booking types

• You may change your booking (whether a Pay Now or Pay at Location booking) any time before the day you are due to pick-up the vehicle by calling reservations or managing your booking online (if available).  We will send you a revised booking confirmation email confirming your new booking details and new amount to be paid to your email address provided.
• If you return the vehicle before the original return date (early return), you will not be refunded any portion of your payment. This does not detract from your rights as a consumer under applicable consumer protection legislation, including the Australian Consumer Law.

Cancellations - all booking types

• You may cancel your booking at any time before the day you are due to collect your vehicle by calling reservations or managing your booking online (if available).
• Depending on when you cancel, you will be charged a cancellation fee or no-show fee.

• If you need to cancel within 24 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time, you will be refunded the pre-paid amount less a cancellation fee of up to $165.00 AUD.

Rates

• Your quoted rental rate is based on the exact parameters (locations, dates, etc.) of your particular rental. Any change to your confirmed reservation may result in a different rate being charged.

• We may refuse to allow any driver to drive the vehicle who: (i) does not hold a valid and current driving licence in the country of rental for the entire rental period, (ii) has not brought an international driving licence or official translation (if applicable), (iii) has not held their licence for the minimum period required by the rental location, (iv) has driving related convictions, or (v) who does not meet our identity, security, driving licence or credit checks.
