Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our customers and our employees, and Avis is doing everything that we can to keep every one of our customers and employees safe. We are using EPA-certified disinfectants before and after each rental, with special attention paid to: steering wheels, dashboards, hand grips, radio dials, cup holders, center consoles, door handles both inside and outside. Multiple cleanings are done for each vehicle.

Disposable gloves and/or hand sanitizer will be available at our locations, and rental agents will be wearing masks. Customers can and are encouraged to wear masks; however they may be asked to adjust the mask while checking identification.

Absolutely. If you feel comfortable bringing your own cleaning/sanitizing items, feel free to do so.  Please use items that do not contain bleach, or have “plus bleach” on the label, as they risk damaging surfaces of the vehicles.

There are no special precautions necessary for renting a car. We recommend the CDC’s website as a resource for ways that Customers can best protect themselves from becoming ill. Additionally, Customers are encouraged to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer and/or anti-bacterial wipes when traveling. Of course, Customers should not travel if they experiencing any signs of illness.
