Returns

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.

 

You are welcome to return the vehicle early if you absolutely need to. Please keep in mind however, that if you return early and have prepaid for your rental, there won't be a refund for any unused days. There is also a chance that the rental could cost you more as some rates or discounts may only apply to the rental length that you originally booked.
