Our policy usually dictates that Avis and Budget will supply customers with a full tank of fuel at the beginning of their rental. Customers are also expected to return the vehicle with a full tank (or at the same level as the vehicle was picked up.

If you don’t have the time to refuel, we can do it for you but please keep in mind that this will incur an additional fee. Want some more information? Check out our refueling options.

Many city centers in Italy are defined "Restricted Traffic Zones". These areas are not accessible to vehicles on certain days or times as prescribed by the relevant traffic authority. Even when driving a rental car it is necessary to respect these restrictions to avoid incurring an administrative penalty.

Some of our stations are near central areas and "limited traffic areas" and it is therefore necessary to pay careful attention not to enter the ZTL. Our Florence Via Borgognissanti station, for example, is located near one of these areas. Customers are therefore informed of its presence and of the possibility of returning the vehicle avoiding entry into the ZTL.

If you are not sure whether or not the station is close to a ZTL or which route to take to return the vehicle, do not hesitate to ask.

When you complete your rental and return the vehicle, we will charge your card and the pre-authorisation hold will be released by your card issuer. Depending on your card issuer, it can take up to 28 days before this is reflected in your account balance. As the pre-authorisation hold is not a charge, the release of funds may not appear on your card statement. Please note – even though the hold is not an actual charge, it still temporarily reduces the available balance on your payment card until its release.

In case of any further queries, please use the contact button and link below to submit a ticket with our customer care team and you will receive an email with the details of your authorisation hold.

We do not provide the toll authorities with card details or private information of our customers. Instead, we make it more convenient by charging your card directly based on the information provided by the toll authorities. If you have any questions about the tolls themselves, or wish to dispute the charges, your questions are best directed to the toll authority.

You can pay for Fuel Up Front when you collect your hire vehicle. This simply means that you pay for a full tank of fuel upfront, saving you the hassle and time of refuelling before you return. This not only saves time but also money, because we offer a discounted rate compared to our fuel on return rates. If you choose Fuel Up Front but bring your hire vehicle back with a full tank, don't worry, we won't charge you for Fuel Up Front. But if you bring it back partly full, unfortunately we can't provide a refund and you will be charged the full amount as listed on your rental agreement, so try to return the vehicle as close to empty as possible.

We understand you might get delayed, so we try to be flexible. If you’re running late or need to extend your car rental, please make sure you contact us as soon as possible. Should you return the vehicle late – without notifying us or extending your hire – you may be subject to a late return fee. If you fail to extend the rental and you are more than 29 minutes late returning the vehicle, your rental will be extended and you will be charged an extra day’s rental at current pay at location prices plus a late return processing fee for each day or part of a day until the vehicle is returned.

If you overrun past your agreed return date and time, you will incur a late return fee. If you still haven’t returned the vehicle 24 hours later, then another late return fee will be applied. A late return fee will continue to be added every 24 hour period thereafter, until you return the vehicle to the rental station.

Depending on the country of rental, the daily late return fee will be (inclusive of VAT): £15.00/CHF 20.00/150.00 (DKR, NKR or SKR)/between €15 and €18.60 (country dependent), or the equivalent amount in local currency.

You pay for each day you hire a vehicle, which is based on a 24 hour rental period. If you return your hire vehicle within 24 hours, you'll still be charged for the full day. There's also no penalty for returning your vehicle up to 29 minutes late, but for returns after this time we're afraid you will be charged for another day as well as a late return fee. If you are going to be late or would like to extend your rental period, please call your hire station ahead of time to let us know.

The Premium Location Fee, which is included in your booking quote, helps to cover the extra operating costs incurred at premium locations such as airports, train stations and city centres. While the Premium Location Fee, also known as the City Supplement or Airport Surcharge, is included in your reservation quote, it is also applied as a percentage to any additional counter products selected at the rental location. For clarity, this is itemised on the rental agreement and invoice. Don’t worry, this is not a duplicate charge and the itemised line may include the quoted portion from booking as well as any portion for additional selected items.

It is standard that the charge for tolls arrives a few weeks following the end of your rental, as we must wait for the charge details to be provided by the toll authorities. The charge is usually taken in one payment but multiple charges/receipts are also possible based upon the location and duration of the rental.

When a traffic offence occurs, we are notified by the relevant authorities as the registered owner of the vehicle in order to identify the driver of the vehicle. Whenever possible, liability is transferred to the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence and the authorities re-issue the Penalty/Parking Charge Notice to the driver. We charge an administration fee to cover our costs involved in this process. Following a liability transfer, the authorities contact the driver directly by post with the re-issued fine. Rest assured, the dates of fine payment are updated so that the driver is not affected by the time taken to transfer liability. In some circumstances, liability cannot be transferred and the fine is paid on your behalf by us. The lowest possible fine amount is paid and is charged directly to the customer. Please note, to dispute an offence, the authorities must be contacted directly. Details of the dispute process and all contact details for the authority will be detailed on the re-issued penalty charge notice that you will receive.

We understand this is a common concern. When you collect your hire car, we will check it and mark any existing damage on your rental agreement or vehicle condition report. You then sign this to confirm you are satisfied. Rest assured, we will never charge you for any damage that already existed. You will not be charged for any small scuffs and dents you pick up during your journey, as we understand this is normal wear and tear for any vehicle. These are:

• • Panel – abrasions or surface scratches less than 25mm (1inch)

• • Panel – dents less than 25mm (1inch)

• • Panel – paint stone chips (no dent) less than 3mm.

• • Glass chips less than 3mm.

• • Wheels/scratches less than 25mm

• • Interior/seat tears/burns less than 3mm, carpet tears/burns less than 10mm

If further damage was caused to the hire car during your rental, you will be charged in line with industry standards using estimating tools such as Audatex. In the case of any damage, we will charge the total repair costs up to the excess amount, which was agreed at the time of your rental contract unless there was a breach of our terms and conditions.

Once you bring the vehicle back, the reversal process starts automatically and your bank is notified that the funds should be released. The funds should be available within a maximum of 28 days of the date/time that your rental was checked in. Unfortunately, we only have access to trigger the release of funds and have no control regarding the time taken for your bank to return the funds to your account. As this transaction is a hold of funds and the money does not leave your account, the release will not reflect on your account as a credit or refund, but rather the pending transaction will disappear and your available balance will increase. If you have any specific questions regarding a pre-authorisation and your rental is already finished, your bank is the best place to seek more information and assistance.
