Payment Options

You can redeem your coupon in person at your hire station. Coupons cannot currently be used online. However, you can still book your vehicle online and redeem your coupon over the counter. Coupons can only be redeemed on 'pay at location' bookings as they cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts or offers.

We offer you a couple of ways to pay to make it easy. You can pay online now or later when you collect your vehicle. The choice is yours. If you choose to pay online now, you'll pay the cost of your booking up front with a discounted price. Some extras can only be paid for at the counter. We'll let you know which ones when you book; they will still be reserved for you. When you collect your vehicle, you'll need to present the card used for your online payment, we'll dip/swipe your card to gain authorisation but won't take any payment until you return your vehicle. If you'd rather not pay online now, you can pay at the hire station. When you collect your vehicle, we'll dip/swipe your card to gain authorisation for the full hire cost (including extras) but won't take payment until you return your vehicle. Paying now will cost you less than paying later.

You can either pay for your vehicle when you book online, or when you collect your hire vehicle. If you choose to pay when you book online, we’ll dip/swipe your card to gain authorisation. If you choose to pay at the station, we’ll dip/swipe your card to gain authorisation for the estimated full hire cost (including extras) but won’t take payment until you return your vehicle. There are some useful extras such as Fuel Up Front that you can't pay for until you collect your vehicle. These will of course still be reserved for you.

An ACTO (Avis Company Travel Order) is a special voucher businesses give to staff so they can hire a vehicle with us. Simply show your ACTO, driving licence and company ID when you collect your hire vehicle and we'll invoice your company directly. These vouchers can't be used for online bookings.

If you would like to use these vouchers at work, simply set up an Avis corporate account.

If you have prepaid for your voucher directly with Avis, it's not a problem. You can still collect your hire car. Just be sure to bring all of the other required identification and documentation, including the credit card used to make your booking.

If it is a voucher from a travel agent or third party agency however, we need to see the voucher before you can drive your hire car away.

A fixed value voucher only covers hire fees up to a certain amount so you'll need to provide a payment card in the name of the driver and pay for any extra costs not covered by the voucher. A full credit voucher covers the entire hire, however much it costs. You can pick up a fixed value voucher from a travel agent. Please note that full credit vouchers are only available for business rentals through a corporate travel agent in the UK.
