Avis Car Rentals FAQs

An Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) number may be found in newspapers, magazines or television ads; by clicking banner ads on Web sites; or on the avis.com Web site.

If you're a member of an organization or company that partners with Avis, please contact that organization directly and ask whether it has an Avis Worldwide Discount number you may use for your rental.

An Avis Wizard number is the easiest way to manage your Avis reservations. With a Wizard number, you can store your travel details and preferences in your profile, making reservations easier and faster. You can quickly track, view, modify or cancel your upcoming reservations, and get receipts for past rentals with just one click.

How to get one -

You can easily register online to either My Avis or, for frequent travelers, Avis Preferred Service and you'll automatically receive a Wizard number right away. You can also enroll at an Avis location, through your company if they have a corporate relationship with Avis, or by calling Customer Service at 1-866-842-5552 .

Locate Wizard Number or need a replacement card -

For customers who have registered with Avis.com and have a My Avis account, simply login to your profile. On the My Account page, under My Profile, you'll find your Wizard number through the View/Print Avis Card or the Identity Information tabs.

Please note: If you have just enrolled in Avis Preferred Service, you may still need to activate your account from your e-mail confirmation page.

Yes. You can still make a reservation on Avis.com with an expired or cancelled credit card number, but you will need to provide a valid credit card at the time of rental. Preferred Service members will need to stop at the counter before going out to their assigned spot. To avoid this hassle, we recommend you update the credit card on your profile before making any reservations.
