Avis Tips for Car Rental
Temmuz 24th, 2008 | by admin |
Below is Car Rental Tips Avis issued on their blog:
Please remember that when you arrive at an airport in a foreign country that not everyone will speak English, so be patient. Most of the Avis outlets will have English speaking staff on duty so this should not create a problem for most travellers. The rental agreement document will be available in the English language at all of the major Avis outlets in Europe. The terms and conditions relating to rentals will be available in the language at all Avis offices throughout the world.
When you pick up your rental car it will already be full of fuel. You will have the option of returning the vehicle with the tank fully re-filled or you can pay for a full tank upon collection. This option of course saves the worry of finding somewhere to refuel before you deliver the car. In Malta and Cyprus this does not apply and you will be required to pay for the petrol or diesel straight away.
Check carefully all around the car for any damage. If you find some then check that it is fully recorded on the documents before you accept the car. If you find damage that is not recorded then it must be reported to staff before you drive away.
If you have never driven in the country before expect the driving habits of other motorists to be different to those that you might expect at home. Keep calm and be considerate.
Upon the return of the vehicle make sure that a staff member checks for damage in your presence. Check carefully that the final charge is correct. This is the total figure that you should have to pay with no surprising comebacks later.

As well as checking carefully, when you inspect the car, take some pictures of the car. You can’t be sure that you’ve got everything and if your return the car, you may be liable for paying for all the damage that was already there!
