Damage and/or Loss to the Vehicle
In event of any damage or loss to the vehicle the renter will be liable. However, if the renter uses a credit card which offers Motor Insurance Coverage, which includes the Island of Jamaica, then the renter may decline AVIS Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and have the vehicle fully covered under the credit card insurance feature. The only credit cards offering coverage in Jamaica at this time are MasterCards Gold and Platinum issued from Canada and World MasterCard from the US. Please verify with credit card company. AVIS will obtain confirmation at the time of rental.
Age Limit
No one under the age of twenty-three (23) years is permitted to drive/operate the rented vehicle.
Additional Drivers
The renter may authorize other persons to operate the rented vehicle, however, an AVIS representative must meet these persons in the office to authenticate their driver's license. The additional driver(s) will be equally responsible for the vehicle and is required to abide by the conditions as set out in the rental agreement.
Car Rental
The rented vehicle should be returned to the same location from where dispatched. If the vehicle is returned to another location, a fee of US$50.00 will be charged for returning the vehicle to its original location.
Exceptions
Vehicles rented at the AVIS Head Office in Kingston may be returned to our Norman Manley International Airport Office or vice versa, at no extra cost. Also, special arrangement for delivery and pick-up at your hotel, business or residence within a radius of 15 miles is free.
Fuel
It is an AVIS policy to provide the rented vehicle with a full tank of fuel. If the vehicle is not returned with the same quantity of fuel that was supplied by AVIS, a refueling charge will be supplied at the time of billing.
Rental Period
One rental day is a period of 24 hours. Eg. A vehicle that is rented at 10:00am on Tuesday, will complete a rental day on Wednesday at 10:00am. We will allow a grace period of two hours without any additional charge, provided that the two hours fall with the AVIS office hours which are 8:30 am - 5:00pm, any time after is considered to be an additional day.

In case of an accident please secure the vehicle and contact AVIS immediately. Remember, all accidents should be reported to the nearest police station within 24 hours of the accident.
