Question 6

Why do I need a credit card to rent a car from AVIS in Portland?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the rental and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the rental period.

In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check. Always check with AVIS for specific payment policies in Portland

Question 7

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The AVIS fuel policy you select in Portland will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
