Privacy Statement
Our commitment to data security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as your payment card number) during any registration or booking process, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information and personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
With this in mind we would ask you not to enter any payment card number into fields on our websites, unless that the field is specifically marked for that purpose.
Avis data protection policy
We ask for your name, telephone number and e-mail address. This helps us to process your booking, to contact you if we have any problems with your request or to send you an electronic confirmation of the booking. If you are a Wizard member we link your membership number to the information we keep in our main customer database in order to speed up your booking process.
We operate the following policy with regard to the privacy of customer data.
We will maintain the personal information provided via this site as part of our records to assist us to maintain and improve our administration and management of our car rental business.

Unless you have given us your consent your personal information will not be used for any other purpose.
Customers are welcome to see the information held about them at any time and to make the necessary amendments to keep the information up to date.
