* Important information about car rental insurance

For US citizens
Some US credit cards and personal car insurance policies do provide car rental insurance so please check with your credit card provider and personal auto insurance policy for details.

Visiting the US from another country
It is illegal to drive in the US without car insurance. Your travel insurance probably only covers the excess so check the fine print in your travel insurance policy.

For more information please see our U.S.A. car rental insurance guide.

Driver's License

A valid driver's license is required for all operators of any Avis vehicle. The license must be valid at the time of rental, and remain valid throughout the rental period. All drivers must meet Avis' requirements. Driver's licenses accepted in the US are:

• Any license issued by any US state, territory or possession.
• A license issued by a Canadian province.
• A license issued by a country that participated in the 1949 Geneva convention on Road Traffic or the 1943 Convention on the Regulation of Inter-American Automobile Traffic.
• A license issued by a country that has a reciprocal agreement with the US.

International Driver's Permits are only valid if presented with the original local license. An International Driver's Permit it not acceptable by itself. In addition, at the time of rental, the renter, authorized driver or additional driver may be subject to an electronic DMV check or may be required to sign a declaration attesting to the fact that they have a valid license that is not currently suspended, revoked, expired, cancelled or surrendered. A temporary driver's license is acceptable provided it does not have any restrictions and is valid for the entire period of the rental. Individuals with learner's permits may not operate Avis vehicles.

Age Requirements

Additional Drivers

The following individuals, if 25 years of age or older and in possession of a valid driver's license, may drive the car with the renter's prior permission:

• Renter's employer (while on company business);
• Renter's fellow employee (while on company business);
• Renter's spouse or life partner.

The above additional drivers are considered authorized drivers and need not be present at the time of rental nor do they need to sign an additional driver form.

Other individuals may be listed as additional drivers, provided they are at least 25 years of age; present a valid driver's license; present an Avis-honored charge card; and complete an additional driver form. An additional driver fee may apply for each additional driver (see Additional Driver Fees for details and exceptions).

Fuel

Avis rates do not include fuel. Avis offers three fueling options in the U.S.:

• Return the car with the same amount of fuel as when rented, and no refueling fee will apply.
• Return the car with less fuel than when rented and pay a refueling service charge for the fuel used. The refueling service charge is a rate generally higher than the local retail gasoline prices.
• Purchase the fuel service option available at most U.S. rental locations and participating licensees where permitted. The refueling service option allows the renter the option of purchasing, at the time of rental, a full tank of fuel at a price competitive with the prevailing local self-service gas station rates for regular unleaded gasoline. This eliminates the need to refill the tank before the car is returned. There is no credit given for fuel remaining in the vehicle at the time the vehicle is returned, so the renter should return the car with no more fuel than required. The desired fuel option must be selected at the time the vehicle is rented.

Payment Policy - Credit Card

Avis accepts most major credit cards as credit identification at the time of rental.
