Avis demandera une autorisation de prélever sur votre compte les frais de location estimés, mais se réserve le droit, à sa seule discrétion, de demander une valeur supplémentaire, basée sur certains facteurs, lorsque nous le jugerons opportun.

• Les locations peuvent nécessiter une retenue d'autorisation des frais de location estimés plus, 200,00 USD.
• Si vous avez prépayé la location, la retenue sera de 250,00 USD.

Lors de la retenue, vous n'aurez pas accès à ces fonds.  Une fois la location terminée, nous annulerons cette retenue, mais il est possible que la banque mette un certain temps à la créditer sur votre compte.

Remarque : Les cartes de crédit et les cartes-cadeaux prépayées ne sont pas des méthodes d'identification du crédit acceptées pour la prise en charge d'un véhicule, quelle que soit la succursale.  L’une des cartes mentionnées ci-dessus doit être présentée.  Les cartes de crédit prépayées sont acceptées au moment du retour seulement, si nous pouvons obtenir l’autorisation complète de la banque de la carte pour le montant total dû.

Les succursales participantes accepteront une carte de débit, cependant, elle doit avoir un logo de traitement bancaire accepté (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc.) au moment de la location si vous avez au moins 25 ans avec les exigences suivantes :

• Vous serez soumis à un contrôle du crédit pour confirmer votre solvabilité avant que le véhicule ne vous soit remis.  Si votre dossier de crédit est inaccessible avec Equifax, vous devrez lever la restriction avant votre location.  Lever la restriction ne garantit pas que vous serez en mesure de louer un véhicule puisque vous serez encore assujetti à une vérification de crédit.

Avis peut demander une autorisation de prélever sur votre compte les frais de location estimés, mais se réserve le droit, à sa seule discrétion, de demander une valeur supplémentaire, basée sur certains facteurs, lorsque nous le jugerons opportun.

• Si vous avez prépayé avec une carte de débit, la retenue est de 250,00 USD.

VOUS N’AUREZ PAS ACCÈS À CES FONDS.  Une fois la location terminée, nous annulerons cette retenue, mais il est possible que la banque mette un certain temps à la créditer sur votre compte.   Si vous ne restituez pas le véhicule comme convenu, Avis obtiendra des autorisations supplémentaires sur votre compte pour couvrir les frais de location.  Avis n'est pas responsable des chèques retournés ni des découverts bancaires aux termes de la présente politique.

Une identification certaine en sus de votre permis de conduire peut être exigée.

Remarque : Les cartes de débit et les cartes-cadeaux prépayées ne sont pas des méthodes d'identification du crédit acceptées pour la prise en charge d'un véhicule, quelle que soit la succursale.  L’une des cartes mentionnées ci-dessus doit être présentée.

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 24 months had 3 or more convictions for moving violations (including seat belt violations).
• The renter/authorized driver has not, within the last 36 months had 3 or more accidents

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.
