Terms Explained
 
The world of Car Rentals can be a confusing place.  We've tried to cut out
an awful lot of it - but still some things such as "CDW" remain.  Here you'll find
some information to help you understand what it all means.

1. Insurances - CDW

CDW stands for Collision Damage Waiver
If the rental car is damaged this will cover the cost of repairs. You will have to pay a fixed amount towards these repairs - the excess. The excess will vary by country so please check with Avis at time of reservation. (This coverage is also known as Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) in Australia, New Zealand and the USA.)
 

2.Insurances - TP (Theft Protection)

This covers the cost of replacing your rental car (or parts of it) if it gets stolen. You may have to pay an excess, which will vary by country so please check at time of resevation.


3. Insurances - Third Party Liability

A compulsory insurance in case you cause damage to someone or something else.
 

4. Insurances - LDW

LDW Stands for Loss Damage Waiver, and it's what CDW is known as in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

5. Insurances - What's an excess?
 
An excess is the first part of any insurance claim that an insured person has to  pay - it's sometimes also referred to as a deductable. 

6. Misc - One Way Rentals

If you plan to return the car to a different rental location you must let us know in advance in your reservation as a one way fee may apply.

7. Misc - Young Driver Surcharge

Drivers under 25 may be subject to a Young Driver Surcharge. Please check country terms and conditions when booking.

8. Misc - Optional Extras

Things like baby-seats, child booster seats, ski racks, snow chains etc. are available at an additional cost paid when you pick-up your rental.

9. Misc - Additional Driver

The rental car is insured for one person only. Should you wish to add additional drivers, then please do so when you pick up your car. There will be an additional charge for each additional driver which is payable at time of rental. A full driving licence for each additional driver (held for at least one year, three years in Cyprus) will also need to be provided at time of rental.
