La aceptación de la Exoneración en caso de pérdida o daños exime al cliente y a los conductores adicionales autorizados de la responsabilidad por la pérdida o el daño del vehículo de Avis, una vez que se satisfagan los términos y las condiciones que exhibe la funda del documento de alquiler. Al momento del alquiler, el cliente debe indicar con sus iniciales si acepta o rechaza la LDW y los servicios opcionales. La aceptación de la LDW y los servicios opcionales se deben rubricar en el mostrador de alquiler.
La LDW está sujeta a impuestos.

Si no se acepta la LDW, el cliente es responsable financieramente del valor total de lo siguiente:

• Daño por accidente
• Daño del vidrio
• Accesorios hurtados (radio, batería, etc.)
• Vandalismo
• Hurto del vehículo

Excepciones:

En Wisconsin, si el cliente no acepta la LDW, será responsable de la pérdida de o los daños al vehículo de Avis que resulten de un accidente o de un comportamiento imprudente o irresponsable.

En Illinois, si el cliente no acepta la LDW, será económicamente responsable de los siguientes tipos de daños, y el monto de la responsabilidad variará dependiendo del grupo del vehículo alquilado, desde $20,000.00 y hasta un máximo de $42,000.00 para alquileres:

• Daño por accidente
• Daño del vidrio
• Accesorios hurtados (radio, batería, etc.)
• Vandalismo
• Hurto del vehículo

Cancelación de LDW
Luego de adquirir la LDW, esta debe permanecer en el contrato. El cliente tiene la opción de devolver el vehículo y terminar el contrato de alquiler; sin embargo, esto puede cambiar la tarifa del contrato de alquiler y podría aplicarse una tarifa diferente, posiblemente mayor, para un nuevo alquiler.

Excepciones:
Los clientes que alquilen en Nueva York y adquieran la LDW en Nueva York pueden decidir cancelar sin costo alguno este servicio, dentro de ciertos lineamientos:

• El alquiler debe ser de 2 o más días.
• La cancelación se debe realizar dentro de las primeras 24 horas del alquiler.
• El cliente real debe llevar el vehículo a una oficina para la correspondiente inspección y firmar el aviso de cancelación.

Lucro cesante
El cliente también puede ser responsable de reembolsar a Avis por los ingresos perdidos por no poder usar el vehículo durante la reparación del mismo o por no recuperarlo por haber sido robado (lo que se conoce como Lucro cesante).

Las coberturas de seguro globales siempre están sujetas a cambio. Verifique al momento del alquiler.

Avis acepta la mayoría de las tarjetas de crédito reconocidas al momento del alquiler como identificación de crédito.  El nombre del cliente debe estar en la tarjeta de crédito.

Lista de tarjetas de crédito aceptadas:  Tarjeta de pago Avis, American Express, AT&T Capital, Diner's Club Int'l, Discover, China UnionPay, JCB, MasterCard y Visa.  Algunas oficinas pudieran no aceptar alguna de las tarjetas de pago mencionadas.

Puede que Avis solicite la retención de un monto en su cuenta por el total estimado de los cargos de alquiler, pero se reserva el derecho, a su entera discreción, de solicitar un monto mayor dependiendo de algunos factores según considere apropiado:

• La mayoría de los alquileres requerirán una retención de autorización de los cargos estimados por alquiler, más $200.00.
• Si usted paga el alquiler por adelantado, el monto retenido será de 250.00 USD.

Estos fondos no estarán disponibles para uso mientras la retención esté vigente.  Cuando finalice el alquiler, efectuaremos la reversión; sin embargo, es posible que el banco demore en contabilizarlo nuevamente en la cuenta.

Nota: Las tarjetas de crédito prepagadas no son un método de identificación de crédito aceptable para retirar un vehículo en ninguna oficina.  Se debe presentar una de las tarjetas mencionadas arriba.  Las tarjetas de crédito prepagadas se aceptan solo al momento de la devolución, si podemos obtener la autorización completa del banco de la tarjeta para los cargos totales adeudados.

Las oficinas participantes aceptan tarjetas de débito; no obstante, deben tener un logotipo de procesamiento bancario aceptado (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc.) en el momento del alquiler si tiene al menos 25 años de edad, con los siguientes requisitos:

• El nombre del cliente debe estar en la tarjeta de débito.
• Se acepta una tarjeta de débito como identificación de crédito para vehículos económicos, vehículos compactos, vehículos intermedios, vehículos estándares, vehículos grandes, SUV intermedios, vehículos premium, furgonetas de pasajeros, SUV estándar élite, minivans o SUV estándar. El alquiler de cualquier otra categoría de vehículos requiere de una tarjeta de crédito reconocida.
• Su historial crediticio se revisará para determinar y asegurar su solvencia crediticia antes de entregarle el vehículo.  Si su expediente crediticio está congelado con Equifax, se le pedirá que levante la restricción antes de su alquiler.  Eliminar la restricción no garantiza que podrá alquilar un vehículo, ya que aún estará sujeto a una verificación crediticia.

Puede que Avis solicite la retención de un monto en su cuenta por el total estimado de los cargos de alquiler, pero se reserva el derecho, a su entera discreción, de solicitar un monto mayor dependiendo de algunos factores según considere apropiado:

• La mayoría de los alquileres requerirán una retención de autorización de los cargos estimados por alquiler, más 200 USD.
• Puede que los alquileres de 4 días o más requieran una retención de autorización de los cargos estimados por alquiler, más 300 USD.
• Si paga por adelantado el alquiler con una tarjeta de débito, la retención es de 250.00 USD.

NO PODRÁ UTILIZAR ESTOS FONDOS.  Cuando finalice el alquiler, efectuaremos la reversión; sin embargo, es posible que el banco demore en contabilizarlo nuevamente en la cuenta.  Si no devuelve el vehículo de acuerdo con lo estipulado en el contrato, Avis obtendrá autorizaciones adicionales para utilizar su cuenta a fin de cubrir los cargos por alquiler.  Avis no se hace responsable por cheques devueltos ni por tarifas por sobregiro que esta norma pueda causar.

Se requiere una forma de identificación inequívoca adicional a su licencia de conducir.

Nota: Las tarjetas de débito o de regalo prepagadas no son un método de identificación de crédito aceptable para retirar un vehículo en ninguna oficina.  Las tarjetas de débito o de regalo prepagadas solo se aceptan al momento de la devolución.

Public liability insurance is in accordance with the insurance laws of the country.  Customer may inquire at the time of rental for additional information of the benefits, conditions and acceptance.

At the time of rental, the renter or authorized driver may be subject to an electronic DMV check from the issuing state of the driver's license, or may be asked to sign a declaration attesting to specific criteria:

• The renter/authorized driver has a valid license that is not currently suspended, expired, revoked, canceled or surrendered.
• The renter/authorized driver has not, within the last 36 months had 1 or more convictions for reckless driving.
• The renter/authorized driver has not, within the last 36 months had 1 or more convictions for driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), or driving while alcohol impaired (DWAI).
• The renter/authorized driver has not, within the last 36 months failed to report or leave the scene of an accident.
• The renter/authorized driver has never been in possession of a stolen vehicle or used a vehicle in a crime.

Fuel Service Charge. Most rentals come with a full tank of fuel, but that is not always the case.

Where available, if permitted by law, if you drive less than 75 miles, you acknowledge that we will add a flat fee to the rental, the amount of which will be disclosed on the Rental Contract and at the counter prior to rental. You may avoid this charge at time of return by providing a receipt for fuel purchased at which time the flat fee will be reversed from your total rental charges. If this subparagraph (a) does not apply, there are three refueling options:

1) If you do not accept the fuel service option, where available, at the beginning of your rental, and you return the car with less fuel than was in it when you received it, as we determine in our sole discretion, we will charge you a fuel service charge at the applicable rate per-mile or rate per-gallon specified on the Rental Contract or disclosed at the location. The per-mile rate is used if you do not buy fuel during the rental. To calculate this amount, we multiply the number of miles driven, as shown on the car’s odometer (or provided by the vehicle's telematics device), times the per-mile rate shown on the Rental Contract. The per gallon rate is used if you buy fuel during the rental and provide us with a receipt on our request, but the tank is not as full when you return the car as when you received the car (by using the factory installed gauge, rounded down to the nearest 1/8 tank), times the per-gallon rate shown on the Rental Contract.

Although two methods are used for ease of calculation, the per mile and per-gallon rates produce approximately the same result. Some of our cars are equipped with onboard telematics which record the actual amounts of fuel in the gas tank. In the event your car has such a device, you will be charged for the actual amount of gasoline needed to fill the tank based on the reading of this device.

2) If you accept the fuel service option at the beginning of your rental, you will be charged as shown on the Rental Contract for that purchase and you will not pay us a fuel service charge. If you choose this option, you will not incur an additional fuel service charge, but you will not receive any credit for fuel left in the tank at the time of return.  If you accept the partial fuel service option at the beginning of your rental, you will be charged as shown on the Rental Contract for that purchase and you will pay a fuel service charge for any fuel not covered by the partial fuel service option. The per-gallon cost of the fuel service option will always be lower than the fuel service charge. The cost of refueling the car yourself at a local service station may be lower than the fuel service charge or the fuel service option. You acknowledge that the fuel service charge is not a retail sale of fuel.

3) You may avoid a fuel service charge if you return the car with the fuel tank as full as when you received it and, if requested by us, present a receipt for your fuel purchase. If you put fuel into the car, you must use the correct fuel (having the grade of gasoline stated on the car fuel information decal, or on-road diesel). Do not use ethanol fuel even if the car states that it is a flex-fuel vehicle.

All additional drivers must be at least 25 years of age.  The fee for each additional driver is $13/day with a maximum charge of $65 per rental.  In California, the following may drive the car with the renters permission, are exempt from the additional driver fee, but must meet all other driver requirements: the renter's employer or fellow employee when on company business and renting under a corporate account; the renter's spouse or domestic partner; child, sibling or grandparent of the renter; the companion driver of a renter with a disability who has completed the non-licensed renter form; for insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members who are designated on the insurance policy.  All other additional drivers must complete and sign an additional driver form and present valid credit identification.  A maximum of two additional drivers may complete a form.
