• Retain your reservation confirmation number as it is necessary for modification, cancellation or no-show refund requests. Changes to your prepay reservation must be made either on Avis.com, Avis.com.au or Avis.co.nz or at the rental counter. At time of change, current rates, taxes and fees apply.
• Your credit or debit card will be charged upon reservation confirmation. Method of prepayment toward your rental may not be changed after confirmation.
• Debit cards are not accepted at some Avis locations and are not a recommended form of prepayment.
• While a debit or prepaid charge card is an acceptable form of rental prepayment online, they may not be accepted for the credit hold required when you pick up your vehicle.
• Please review the terms and conditions on our confirmation page regarding credit or debit card acceptance at the location. To release the vehicle to you at time of pick-up, all rental terms and conditions must be met, regardless of your original prepayment.
• Prepaid debit and gift cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a vehicle at any location. One of the above mentioned cards must be presented. Prepaid debit and gift cards are accepted at time of return only.
• In the U.S., debit or check cards may be used at the end of the rental for payment of rental charges.
• The same credit or debit card used to complete an online Pay Now reservation must be presented at the rental pick-up counter as a form of identification. At airport locations, proof of a return airline ticket is also required when using a debit card.
• Generally, at the time of rental, we'll require a credit card hold of total estimated charges.  However, many rentals may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200 USD.  If you have prepaid with a debit card, the hold will be $250 USD. A prepaid charge card is not accepted for this required hold and in case of reservation with non US currency, a credit card with same currency of reservation with equivalent USD amount would be required.
• The card presented at pickup will be the card of record for the rental.
• If you use a debit card at a location that accepts them, we will perform a credit check to ensure worthiness before releasing the vehicle and you must also present a second form of current identification.
• Prepaid reservations are only offered at participating locations.
• Upon paying your rental with a debit card, Avis will generally request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated charges of the rental but reserves the right in its sole, discretion, to request extra value based on certain factors as we deem appropriate. Many 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 with a debit card, the hold will be $250 USD. Some exceptions may apply. THESE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE.
• If you selected Fuel Service Option, fuel price isn't included in your reservation total, but prevailing market rate will be added when you return your vehicle.
• Avis accepts most major credit cards as credit identification at the time of rental. Accepted credit cards: Avis Charge Card, American Express, AT&T Capital, Diner's Club Intl, Discover, China Union Pay, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa. Some locations may not accept each of the referenced cards.
• Coupons may be applied to prepay rentals. Vouchers or Avis rental certificates cannot be used in conjunction with a prepay reservation.
• Gift Cards (Avis or any other) are not allowed on prepay reservations.
• Most U.S. locations also accept bank debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo as credit identification at the time of rental if you are at least 25 years of age. In most cases, U.S. locations will perform a credit check for debit card renters to determine credit worthiness at the time of rental. The renter must meet Avis' minimum criteria in order to rent.
• When the rental is over, we will process the reversal but the bank may take time to post it back to the account - unless you already paid toward your rental, in which case the hold will be $250 USD. While this hold is in place, the funds will not be available for your use.
• Avis is not responsible for any returned checks or overdraft fees based on this policy.
• Your quoted rental rate is based on the exact parameters (locations, dates, etc.) of your particular rental - changing your confirmed reservation parameters could result in a different rate.
• There is no fee for making the following changes: vehicle type, options (GPS, protections, etc.), rental period dates/times, adding other drivers, switching between participating prepay pick-up locations within the same country. To change to a non-participating location or one outside of the original pick-up country, you must cancel your original reservation (with applicable cancellation fee) and re-book at then current rates.
• Non-permissible changes include: method of prepayment; name on reservation; changing your pick-up to a non-participating prepay location or one outside of the original pick-up country. If you still wish to make these changes, you must cancel your original prepay reservation with applicable cancellation fee and re-book at then current rates.
• At time of rental pick-up, location rental qualification rules apply. The name on all rental credentials (license and credit or debit card) must match the name on the reservation. If the names do not match, it is deemed a non-permissible change to your prepay reservation and must follow procedures to cancel and re-book at then current rates (with applicable cancellation or no-show fees).
• At the time of pick up, driver must present a valid driver's license and credit card (or debit card at participating locations) in the driver's name. A prepaid charge card is not an acceptable credential. All drivers must have a safe driving record.
• At time of pick up, driver must present a valid, drivers license and credit or debit card in the driver's name. If the drivers license is not U.S.-issued, you must present your drivers license and either a passport or a Canadian enhanced license in the driver's name.

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:

• A debit card is accepted as credit identification for Economy cars, Compact cars, Intermediate cars, Standard cars, Full-Size cars, Intermediate SUV's, or Standard SUV's.  The rental of any other vehicle category will require a major credit card. 
• At airport locations, you will be required to show proof of a return airline flight that corresponds with your rental.
• 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 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 over-drafts 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.  One of the above mentioned cards must be presented. Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are accepted at time of return only.

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.

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.

Renters who have indicated a country of residence outside of the US will be required to present a non US issued drivers license and a non US issued passport OR an international airline ticket at the time of rental to qualify for the rate.

Canada :
Les véhicules peuvent être introduits au Canada sans aucune restriction. Le comptoir de location doit être averti au moment de la location si vous prévoyez de circuler au Canada, de sorte que le personnel qui fait la location puisse émettre une copie de la « carte d’assurance pour non-résident du Canada » ou vous pouvez la télécharger (sans frais) en cliquant ici. Selon la disponibilité, les locations pour allers simples peuvent être autorisées vers certaines villes du Canada.

Mexique :  Les véhicules loués de cette succursale ne sont pas autorisés à circuler au Mexique.

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 l'endroit où vous louez le véhicule, nous vous facturons le prix de carburant moyen au début de la période de location. Pour plus d'informations sur le prix de l'option Carburant à l'avance, renseignez-vous auprès de l'établissement de location. 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?
EZ Fuel est un tarif fixe de 25,80 CHF.
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 :

• 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 vous facturons entre 1,5 et trois fois le prix de carburant moyen à la fin de la période de location pour la Suisse. Le prix par litre sera indiqué sur votre contrat de location. Ces frais couvrent nos coûts pour conduire à la station-service la plus près sans préavis, ce qui pourrait retarder la location du prochain client.

Véhicules électriques

Avec quelle charge de batterie dois-je retourner un véhicule électrique?

Vous devez rendre le véhicule avec une charge de batterie d’au moins 70 %, ou avec le même % de charge de batterie qu’au moment de la prise en charge.

Qu’est-ce qui me sera facturé si je ne retourne pas un véhicule électrique avec la charge de batterie requise de 70 % ou la même charge de batterie que celle qu’il avait au moment de la prise en charge?

Nous chargeons une quantité fixe en fonction de l’autonomie de la batterie indiquée sur la jauge de batterie installée en usine. Il s’agit du tarif de paiement au retour. Les montants facturés sont indiqués ci-dessous :
