Participating locations will accept a Debit card, however, it must have an accepted bank processing logo (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc) at the time of rental if you are at least 25 years of age and the following requirements:

• The name of the renter must be on the debit card.
• A debit card is accepted as credit identification for Economy cars, Compact cars, Intermediate cars, Standard cars, Full-size cars, or Standard SUV’s. The rental of any other vehicle category will require a major credit card.
• At airport locations, you will be required to show proof of a return airline flight that corresponds with your rental.
• You will be subject to a credit check to determine and ensure credit worthiness before releasing the car to you. If your credit file is frozen with Equifax, you will be required to lift the restriction prior to your rental. Lifting the restriction does not guarantee that you will be able to rent a vehicle as you will still be subject to a credit check.

Avis will generally request an authorization hold against your account for the estimated rental charges of the rental, but reserves the right in its sole discretion to request an extra value to be based on certain factors as we deem appropriate:

• Most rentals may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $200 USD.
• Rentals of 4 days or more may require an authorization hold of the estimated rental charges plus $300 USD.
• If you have prepaid the rental with a debit card, the hold is $250.00 USD.

THESE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE. When the rental is over we will process the reversal, but the bank may take time to post it back to the account. If you fail to return the vehicle as agreed, Avis will obtain additional authorizations from your account to cover the rental charges. Avis is not responsible for any returned checks or overdraft fees based on this policy.

Positive identification in addition to your driver’s license may be required.

Note: Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are not acceptable methods of credit identification to pick up a car at any location. Prepaid Debit/Gift cards are accepted at time of return only.
