AVIS / BUDGET GROUP
IMPORTANT NEWS:
When a customer extends a
rental it often has an impact on an existing reservation for another
client.
LATE FEE
$10.00 per day will be
charged to renters when returning their car if the actual check in
date/time is greater than seven hours of the expected check in date/time.
For Example:
The customer was due to
return the vehicle at 9am on March 1, but returns it at 5pm on March
1, the late return fee of $10 will apply.
The late return fee will
apply for every 24 hours that renter is late. For example, the renter
agreed to return the car by March 1 at 9am, but returns it on March 3
at 5pm. A late return fee of $20 will be charged. (the first $10
assessed after the seven hour grace period and the second $10 for each
additional 24 hour time frame.
After three days have
lapsed, the Loss Prevention Group works the overdue report and will
add $50 recovery charge, in addition to the Late Fee of $10 per day.
The late fee stops accruing when the $50 recovery fee is added.
RENTAL EXTENSION FEE
A rental extension fee of $10 per
extension will apply if the new expected date and time is greater than
seven hours from the previous agreed return date and time.
The rental extension fee
and late fee are taxable.
