What happens if the car gets damaged?


Exisitng damage should be indicated on your rental agreement. However, please check over the car yourself when you first collect it. If you notice anything at all, please tell the rental agent who will record it on the Rental Agreement.

The rental agent will inspect the car when you return it. If any damage has occurred during rental you will have to pay the cost of repair up to the replacement value of the car, unless you are covered for Collision Damage Waiver, in which case you will only have to pay an excess.

If the car is returned out of station's opening hours, you will remain responsible for the condition of the vehicle until it can be inspected by a member of Avis' staff.
