Cheap AVIS Car Hire in Invercargill

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If you are travelling to Invercargill and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like AVIS have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

When hiring a car in Invercargill, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like AVIS. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Invercargill, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.
