This EV Amendment amends the rental agreement signed by you with respect to the rental of a vehicle powered by an electric motor (an “EV”) from Avis Rent A Car System, LLC, Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., Aviscar, Inc., Budgetcar, Inc. or the independent Avis Rent A Car System, LLC or Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. licensee identified on the rental agreement (collectively referred to herein as “Avis”).

1) AMENDMENT TO RENTAL AGREEMENT: This EV Amendment simultaneously amends the terms of your rental from Avis with respect to the terms herein only. All other terms of your rental remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this EV Amendment and your other rental terms, the terms of this EV Amendment shall govern.

2) ONE WAY RENTALS ARE NOT PERMITTED: Due to unique infrastructure needs associated with EV’s, your EV must be returned to your rental location on the date/time specified in your rental terms. If your EV is not returned to the renting location, all costs incurred in transporting your EV back to the renting location will be assessed to you. In addition, you will be assessed a fee for Avis’ loss of use of the EV between the time that you should have returned the EV to the renting location and the time that it is returned to the renting location up to a maximum of thirty (30) days. The loss of use fee will be your daily rental rate.

3) BATTERY CHARING LEVELS AT VEHICLE CHECK OUT: Avis will rent the EV with at least a 70% charge on the battery. The range of your EV will vary based on a number of factors including vehicle load, driver’s actions such as speed and acceleration, climate and terrain factors such as inclines. Avis does not warrant or guarantee the range of an EV.

4) BATTERY CHARGING LEVELS AT VEHICLE RETURN: Your EV must be returned to Avis with a battery charge level of at least 70%. You may recharge the EV at public or private locations at your expense. You may have to register or create an account at some of these locations and you are responsible for any required registration (including accepting the terms and conditions and privacy policy) and any fees. If returned at less than 70% but more than 10% battery charge level, a charging fee of $35 will be assessed to you. If returned with less than a 10% battery charge level, you will be assessed an additional low charge fee of $35 (a total of $70 charging fees if returned with a battery charge of less than 10%). The charging fee is based on the kilowatt hours, overhead, loss of use of the EV and administrative costs Avis incurs in charging the vehicle. Note: fees assessed in the United States refer to U.S. dollars and fees assessed in Canada refer to Canadian dollars.

5) ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE: Roadside assistance is available for your EV but fuel cannot be delivered to EV’s. If you require roadside service because you depleted your EV’s batteries or the EV is not drivable due to low battery, your EV will be towed to your renting location and the towing expense will be assessed to you. If you require another vehicle due to a breakdown, you may be provided a gasoline powered vehicle in which case, all fuel provisions of your rental terms shall apply with respect to your replacement vehicle. YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CALL A PRIVATE TOW FOR EV’S. ALL TOWS MUST BE BY FLATBED AND MUST BE ARRANGED THROUGH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.

6) SPECIAL EV EQUIPMENT: All EV equipment including, but not limited to, charging equipment, keys, key cards, fobs and/or remote (“EV Equipment”) provided with your EV must be returned. The full replacement cost of any EV Equipment not returned with your EV will be charged to you. LDW, even if elected, does not cover EV Equipment. You are responsible for any damage to the EV, the charging station equipment and/or the charging location when charging the EV during your rental. You agree to indemnify and hold Avis harmless for any charges, expense, fees, fines or penalties incurred resulting from you charging or attempting to charge the EV (excluding mechanical malfunction of the EV, the charging equipment or the charging station not attributable to you our your use of the EV, EV Equipment or the charging station).

7) SOFTWARE UPDATES: The EV may contain onboard computers which periodically suggest software updates. You are not authorized to update the in-vehicle software unless specifically requested to do so by Avis. If a software update prompt is received during your rental, disregard or press “cancel”. If you update software without authorization from Avis, you do so at your risk and you will be liable for any loss of use, interruption of service, incompatibility or expense incurred by Avis in restoring the EV to operation including, but not limited to, towing, software coding and technological expenses.

8) UNIQUE TESLA TERMS: If you rented a Tesla EV, you will be able to access Tesla Superchargers, subject to availability, to recharge Tesla vehicles provided, however any charging fee or idle fee, expense and/or costs to access and utilize the Tesla Supercharges are charged to Avis and will be billed back to you at cost plus a 2.3% administrative fee – these charges may not appear on your final invoice and may be charged to your payment method later due to processing, billing and invoicing requirements; (see Tesla’s website for definition and details about idle fees https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharger-idle-fee); and the provisions of “Battery Charging Levels at Vehicle Return” shall continue to apply to you.

TESLA VEHICLES MAY NOT BE WASHED AT AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SHALL BE ASSESSED TO YOU PURSUANT TO THE “DAMAGE/LOSS TO THE CAR” PROVISIONS OF YOUR RENTAL TERMS AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY LDW.

IF YOU DO NOT PURCHASE LDW AND RELY ON YOUR PERSONAL INSURANCE TO COVER YOUR DAMAGE TO THE EV, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOUR INSURANCE PROVIDES COVERAGE FOR EV’S AND/OR EV COMPONENTS.
