Please always remember to bring BOTH parts of your driver s licence if you have a new style picture one. It s essential that we check both parts for identification and driving endorsements. Sometimes our Avis Preferred members forget as they understandably assume that they don t need ANY paperwork, but we do need to be able to check a valid driving licence at each rental, so please bring it along.
Hi Jennifer, yes it is fine for you to use your Canadian licence. miami florida rental cars You only need an international one if your current licence is written in a non roman alphabet. I hope you have a good time in Scotland!
We have tried to obtain a corporate card for my use in UK, Europe and Africa and billed to my H/O in Texas and have had very little qualified advice. So far we have contacted the US, Holland, and UK when the application is submitted it is referred elsewhere . Please advise the correct address, Tel number, fax number and PERSON (NOT a call centre please I am sick of waiting on yours). This query is now been ongoing for 2 weeks
Charge cards are allocated to accounts and managed in the country that holds the account. miami florida rental cars On the face of it that seems to be the US. Our colleagues in the US(separately miami florida rental cars owned and operated from Avis Europe) are trying to find the right contact for you. We will post it here as soon as we are able.
Hi does the same apply to additional drivers? I want to hire a car in Barcelona on a date in October and the additional driver I would like to add to the booking won t actually arrive (along with their driving documents!!) until a few days after me. How should we address this? Is a photocopy worth bringing?
The additional driver does need to be present with their original licence in order to be covered to drive the car. However, this does not necessarily have to happen when you pick up the car and you can go to any Avis location (at any time) to add this. Just remember to bring your rental agreement and the drivers licence for the additional driver.
The reason I am asking is that in the past I have rented a car in the UK (from another company) and they had no problem with the Greek license. They simply read my details in roman script from my passport.
Hi Alex, I have double checked this and it seems my original comment might not necessarily be correct. To clarify the rule on drivers licence is that they must be in the roman alphabet. If it is not, the licence holder must provide an International Driving Permit from the licence-issuing country. Alternatively, you can provide a written translation, on headed paper, from their Embassy miami florida rental cars or National Airline, together with their national licence. Sorry for the confusion on this.
Hello. I m student from Mongolia in London. Me and my brother planning to around north endland. We have international driving license and have been here little more than year. Do you think we could rent a car with this driving license? Thanks
Presumably you have an International Driving miami florida rental cars Permit from your licence-issuing country? If so, this is fine to rent with (subject to meeting minimum age of 23 there is a young drivers surcharge for under 25s). Have a great trip!
I will be returning to the UK after an eleven year absence and still have my old UK driving licence, will this be acceptable as it shows valid till 2037, I read something about new licences in the UK and just wondered miami florida rental cars if the old paper type is still okay.
please i currently living in gran canaria and am visiting my home ground in england next week and i need to rent a car. my credit card and identity card and passport are in my maiden name but my drivers license is still in my married name will this be a problem as I dont have my divorce papers with me .
This is down to the station managers discretion, but 99% of the time it is fine. You just need to let the person at the desk know that this is your married name and you haven t changed the details on your driving license.
I had recently passed my UK license (less than a year old) and I have had my home country driving license since 1996. I have noticed the requirement miami florida rental cars of most car rental miami florida rental cars company is to have owned the license for a minimum of 12 months or 24 months. Would I be able to hire a MPV? I would like to rent a people carrier miami florida rental cars to visit Yorkshire. Please advise me on the best way to rent a 7 or 8 seater vehicle. Thanks
You are correct Yasmin, a drivers licence must be held for at least a year. However, as long as your home country licence has not expired and it is still valid then it is fine to rent with this one as long as it is written in roman alphabet. If it is in non-roman alphabet then you will require an international drivers miami florida rental cars permit from your home country.
I rented a car at Edimburgh airport on August 2007. Unfortunatly a motorbike crash on the back of the vehicle, and, although it was not my fault, as told by the police and a witness, I was charged with the damage: 712 pounds!!,
I´m still waiting any response from Avis, and although I have made a complain in the Customer Service in Spain, where I live, I am only told that the proccess is very slow. More than three months!!!!
I moved house recently and sent in my driver s license to be updated. I have not received it back yet but need to hire a car this Friday in Barcelona. The DVLA have offered to fax Avis proof of my licence. Is this acceptable, if not is there anything else I can do?
Hi Will, I m really sorry for the late response miami florida rental cars on this. I was going through our old comments and realised we hadn t responded. I do apologise for this as we do try to respond to everyone who has a question.
Hopefully you ve found the answer somewhere else but for future miami florida rental cars reference I thought I d post the answer anyway. miami florida rental cars In a nutshell, our policy is that the customer must present his original license at the rental office. So in this instance we would not be able to accept a faxed copy of the licence.
Hi, my company has a corporate rate with Avis and I was looking to hire a car for customer visits. I am 27yrs old and have held my license since June 07. I read in the small print that you must have held your license miami florida rental cars for 1yr+, is there no way to consider an individual who hasn t or is there any other possible way of renting a car with any co. pls? thnx,
Hi Aaron, unfortunately we have to be strict on the 1 year rule for driver s licence. However, you did mention you have an corporate account with Avis and this may be different if your company is set up as having company own insurance. If you could email me at comments@avis.co.uk with information about who you work for I can seek clarification on how your account is set up.
Sorry but I cannot seem to find it anywhere on your website. I am a UK resident. I would like to hire a car from Germany this summer. I have 3 points (sp30) on my licence from 2 years ago. Will you still hire a car to someone with 3 points? Surely lots of people have got 3 points nowadays but I just wanted to check for sure. Thanks.
Another sorry, but I forgot to ask if I can take your cars into Czech Republic (Prague only) and Slovakia (Bratislava only it s barely even in the country on the western edge!!). I will not be going any further east than that. Hope you do allow this. Thanks..again.
miami florida rental cars We are going to visit England in September 2008. I have a valid United States (Ohio) drivers licence. miami florida rental cars First, miami florida rental cars I m uncertain what you mean regarding both parts . Our licence looks like a credit card, photo on front with vital stats, and endorsements on the back. Secondly, do I also need an international drivers miami florida rental cars license or just my Ohio Driver license.
What you say above only applies to UK residents. In the UK we have a separate paper licence, which highlights any endorsements. Your Ohio driver licence is fine. No need for an international drivers permit. This only applies in the case that your driver's licence is written with a non-roman alphabet.
3 points will be fine. Rentals picked up in Germany are allowed cross the border to Czech Republic and Slovakia free of charge although a Travel East certificate is required. This can be organised at the rental station.
Tim asks if it is possible to hire a car if you have points on your licence. To take this further-if you have a disqualification can you hire a car again once you have held a new licence for one year. Would especially like to know this re USA rental.
Hi Lee, for a UK rental this is generally fine as long as the disqualification period is complete and the licence is a full one and held for at least a year (although miami florida rental cars the station manager does always retain the right to refuse the rental). The only instance where we would definitely not rent to the customer is if the disqualification was for an unauthorised taking of a motor vehicle. As you are looking to rent in the US it would be helpful miami florida rental cars if could inform us of nature of the disqualification so we can double check with the team over there. If you be able to email me at comments@avis.co.uk with this information and where exactly you are planning to rent then I can check this out for you.
I have a chinese drivers license and a notarized translation of it, is that enough to rent a car? Also, I have had it for less than a year so is it still advisable to use it for when I rent a car in Uk or should i just use my international driving license, the one i have used before when i rented a car in UK in 2003 and is still valid for this year?
Hi Maria, if your international drivers permit is still valid then I would suggest bringing this along with your notarized translation and your original Chinese drivers licence just in case. Better safe than sorry!
Hi there, I have a Russian driving licence (not an international permit). miami florida rental cars The words driving licence and my name and surname are written in both Russian and French, as this is the standard form Russian authorities use for driving licence. Will that be fine? I am sure you had Russian customers before with the same problem
