Dois-je faire le plein du véhicule avant de le restituer?
Oui. Normalement, le réservoir du véhicule est plein. Vous devez le restituer avec le même montant de carburant qu'au moment de la location comme indiqué sur l'indicateur de carburant préinstallé.  Nous vous recommandons de faire le plein aussi près de la succursale de restitution que possible à la date de restitution et conserver le reçu. Si le réservoir n'est pas plein au moment de la restitution et que vous ne pouvez pas nous présenter un reçu, nous vous facturerons pour faire le plein du véhicule.Options de carburant

Je prévois voyager plus de 120 kilomètres et je veux la tranquillité d’esprit, y a-t-il une option de carburant?
Oui. Avec l'option Carburant à l'avance, vous payez le plein de carburant, selon la capacité du réservoir du véhicule indiquée par le fabricant plus nos coûts de plein. Vous avez tout simplement à restituer le véhicule avec le carburant qui reste dans le réservoir (même s’il est presque vide), pourvu que le moteur tourne.
Comment calculer le coût du carburant à l'avance?
Selon la succursale auprès de laquelle vous louez le véhicule, ce coût peut être jusqu’à 0,05 EUR par litre inférieur au prix du carburant moyen au début de la période de location, comme indiqué sur cet indice de carburant de l’UE : Cependant, vous ne recevez pas un remboursement pour le carburant que vous n’utilisez pas.
Puis-je acheter l'option Carburant à l'avance à tout moment?
Non. Si vous voulez profiter de l’option Carburant à l’avance, vous devez la demander au moment de la réservation ou de la prise en charge du véhicule.
Je prévois voyager moins de 120 kilomètres, dois-je toujours faire le plein?
Oui. Souvent, les indicateurs de carburant indiquent que le réservoir est plein, donc, nous vous demandons de faire le plein près de la succursale de restitution et nous montrer le reçu.  Si vous n'avez pas le temps de faire le plein ou que vous ne pouvez pas nous montrer un reçu, nous appliquerons EZ Fuel pour couvrir nos coûts de plein.  
Combien coûte EZ Fuel?
Selon l’endroit où vous louez le véhicule, vous devez payer des frais fixes de 14,50 EUR à 17,00 EUR.  

Quelles sont mes options si je ne restitue pas le véhicule avec un réservoir plein et que je n’ai pas acheté l’option « Carburant à l’avance »?
Vous devez payer à la restitution si vous avez conduit plus de 120 kilomètres et que :

• vous n'avez pas acheté l'option Carburant à l'avance
• vous ne restituez pas le véhicule avec un réservoir plein

Comment calculer le coût du carburant à la restitution?
Vous payez le carburant selon l'indicateur de carburant préinstallé arrondi au huitième (1/8) de réservoir le plus près. Cela est en fonction de la capacité du réservoir de carburant indiquée par le fabricant.
Nous facturons entre 1,5 et trois fois le prix de carburant moyen à la fin de la période de location pour la France, tel qu’indiqué sur cet indice de carburant de l’UE : plus des frais de service entre 13 EUR et 15 EUR. Le prix par litre sera indiqué sur votre contrat de location.

I have brought my own skis with me, do you rent ski racks?
Yes, some rental locations offer ski racks.  You can expect to pay 8 EUR a day to rent a Ski Rack from us. If you rent the vehicle for more than 7 days, you will only be charged for a maximum of 7 days and get to use the ski rack for the duration of your rental, up to 30 days.
Ski racks can not be fitted to all our vehicles, so you may need to upgrade if you need one. This may increase the price of the vehicle and any excess you have to pay.
If the ski rack is damaged, lost or stolen, you will have to pay for a replacement. This is likely to cost 50 EUR on top of the hire fee. If you can show the damage or loss was not in any way your fault or due to your negligence, we will refund this cost to you.
Please give us at least 24 hours notice if you want to hire a ski rack.

If you want to extend the rental please contact us as soon as possible. At the latest, this should be before the end date and time on your rental agreement. Extra days will be charged at pay at location prices.

What happens if I don't extend the rental?

If you fail to extend your rental and are late returning the vehicle, we will charge you for an extra day's rental plus a late return administration fee for each day or part of a day until the vehicle is returned.
If you fail to extend your rental and are late returning the vehicle, we will on the third day after your agreed return date pre-authorise payment for an additional 5 days rental charge on your debit card, ord 10 days if you are using a credit card, at pay at locations prices. If you return the vehicle within those 5 or 10 days (whichever applies), you will only be charged for your actual rental days, plus any other charges you owe us.

If you fail to return your vehicle as agreed, we will also charge you a late return administration fee of each day or part of a day until the vehicle is returned.

The late return administration fee is invoiced as stated in or tariff conditions.

What countries am I allowed to take the vehicle to?

You are covered by third party liability insurance only when you use the vehicle in the country listed on the insurance green card.

Your additional coverages only apply when you use the vehicle in the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Metropolitan France, Monaco, Northern Ireland, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain (continental), Sweden, Switzerland (exception for vans), United Kingdom.

On the condition of paying the cross border fee set out below when you cross the borders of France (as defined above) into one or more of the permitted countries, your rental will be subject to a cross border fee which amount is set out in the tariff conditions available on avis.fr. The cross-border fee will apply only once for the duration of your rental, no matter how many times you cross borders between permitted countries.

Please refer to the section 'Where Can You Drive?' in the Rental Conditions for details on costs associated with failure to declare that you are driving the vehicle outside the country of rental.

Any country not listed as a permitted country is an unpermitted country. Rentals that start in France (as defined above) cannot be taken into an unpermitted country, unless we expressly agree otherwise beforehand.

If it has come to our knowledge, at any time, that your rental vehicle has been taken into an unpermitted country without our prior agreement, we may, at our discretion, apply the fee set out in our tariff conditions, and void your selected optional extras where there is a claim (such as roadside assistance) that takes place in an unpermitted country.

Please note that if you are permitted to take the vehicle outside of France (as defined above), it is your responsibility to make sure you comply with legal requirements applicable in the relevant country/countries you travel in.
