What documents do I need to bring when picking up my rental car?

Asked 2 years ago
When picking up a rental car from Avis, a customer typically needs to present several important documents to ensure a smooth rental experience. First and foremost, a valid driver's license is required. This license should be current and issued in the country where the rental is taking place. An international driver's permit may be necessary if the license is not in English or Latin script. In addition to the driver's license, it is essential to provide a valid credit card in the driver's name for payment and security deposit purposes. Avis usually accepts debit cards as well, but there may be additional requirements in that case, such as proof of insurance or a return flight itinerary. Customers should also consider bringing a reservation confirmation, either printed or on a mobile device. This confirmation can expedite the pickup process by providing proof of the rental agreement. Moreover, it is advisable to check the specific requirements outlined on the Avis website for the location where the pickup is scheduled, as regulations may vary by location.
