When the vehicle is picked up all damage is noted on the vehicle condition report which customers agree with the Avis staff. The renter has the opportunity here to point out all damage. When the car is returned then any additional damage would be charged. This damage would then be marked on the next renter's damage report so it would never be charged again. I hope that helps Chris Hi Richard,

Could you clarify one additional point. From my previous experience of car hire. It is not unusual to get a car with a number of minor 'dings' which you agree are there. Does this mean that each person who rented the car when the ding occured would pay for the repair; so that, if say a particular door had 5 minor dings in it, when you finally get it repaired you have been paid 5 times over for the repair?

If in this example a 3rd party caused the damage provided you obtained contact details for this party then Avis would reclaim the damage costs from them and refund yourself. Chris Hi Richard,

You have to concentrate and deliberately think about what to do all of the time. You point about fighting your instincts is exactly right. Driving on the (actual) wrong side of the road is something many experienced drivers have done on both side of channel. Mostly, there are no consequences - but that doesn't lower the risk of a bad accident. Really good tips – #2 is key. You have to concentrate and deliberately think about what to do all of the time.
