Speed

You told us that you don't want to hang around when returning your hire car, you just want to drop it off and go! That's why we've launched Rapid Return: our new hand-held device that uses wireless technology to radically improve the speed of car return.

Rapid Return is in operation in over 125 Avis locations across Europe, and are currently in 21 of our locations in the UK including all the major airports Rapid Return can process car return in as little as 60 seconds from start to finish, getting you on your way quicker.

How it works When returning your car an Avis agent who, using the new technology, reads a barcode on the vehicle and uploads your rental information. A final receipt for the rental is then issued including mileage used and fuel level in your presence The receipt can be issued in seven different languages.
