How should I contact you regarding a new or existing booking?
As part of the global efforts to help contain the spread of the Coronavirus, recent Government measures may have an impact on our ability to service calls at our reservations centre. If you are making a reservation, you can do so on this website or by using our app.
Should you need to cancel a booking, we are waiving cancellation fees for bookings that start before December 15, 2020. To amend or cancel an existing booking, manage your booking on this website.
All our teams thank you for your understanding and your patience.
Is Avis taking any additional precautions to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus?
We are closely monitoring the information shared by the World Health Organization concerning advice on how to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
To help protect our staff and customers we are encouraging regular hand washing, and the use of hand sanitizer, where available. We’ve also enhanced the already robust cleaning techniques of our vehicles after each rental. In particular, we are paying special attention to the places people touch such as steering wheels, door handles and other hard surfaces.
We advise all our customers to keep updated on the latest developments from the World Health Organisation and the UK’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
