Avis accepts:
✓American Express
✓Diners Club
✓Discover Card
✓MasterCard
✓Visa
Please note that the credit card must have the renter's name and numbers embossed on it.
Physical credit cards that are not close to their expiration date must be presented; otherwise, delivery of the vehicle may be refused.
At the time of rental, the driver must present a passport and a valid driver’s license in the driver’s name from his/her country of residence.
Customers presenting a driver’s license in a non-Roman alphabet must also present an International Driving Permit (IDP) to serve as a translation in addition to their valid driver’s license.
A pre-authorization hold is applied to the credit card at the time of the rental for the rental amount. A security deposit will also be held on the credit card. Please note: While this hold is in place, the funds will not be available for your use.
The security deposit is USD 200.00.
At the end of the rental, the pre-authorization hold is released for the full value of the security deposit:
✓Provided that the car is refueled.
✓Provided that the car is returned at the agreed location, date and time.
✓Except for your amount of “responsibility”, if any, in the event of damage/loss as specified on the rental document and depending on your coverage selection.
Please bear in mind that although we process the reversal at the end of the rental, your bank may take time to post it back to your account.
Reservations for all car groups will be honored for up to 8 hours after the reserved time or until closing, whichever comes first.
The renter is financially responsible for the cost of loss or damage (up to the full value of the rental car) in the event of an accident or theft.
Our waivers (LDW & PDW, above mentioned) allow you our customers to reduce this responsibility.
Avis waivers are not insurance and they are not mandatory; therefore, our waivers may be declined. However, if the renter declines our waiver, Avis reserves the right to request as a guarantee, a security deposit or credit card authorization (hold) that may be equal to the value of the car.
Please note that if the renter intends to use a credit card that offers car rental insurance as a benefit, the security deposit may be reduced to a nominal amount of USD 200.00 provided that the renter presents proof of coverage in writing (e.g. Letter of Coverage) stating that the policy is valid in Jamaica. Please be aware that many credit cards and insurance policies issued outside of Jamaica do not provide coverage in Jamaica at this time.
It also is important to consider that if the Avis waiver is declined, the renter is responsible for the full cost of damage to the rental car up to the full value of the vehicle. Avis rental agents are not qualified to assess the validity or suitability of any coverage not sold by Avis. As such, we strongly recommend that the renter fully understand the terms and conditions of any benefit provided by the credit card issuer. If there is a claim for damage/loss, and the renter intends to use the coverage benefit provided by a card issuer or other approved insurer, the renter is ultimately responsible for any portion of the claim not settled by the card issuer up to the full value of the vehicle.
The vehicle is rented with a full tank of gas and must be returned with a full tank of gas or there will be a charge for refueling.
If you have refueled please keep your receipt for verification purposes.
Refueling charge may result in a rate higher that the local retail gasoline price and is subject to taxes and fees.
Avis cars rented in Jamaica are not allowed outside of the country.
