However, this means that in the event of an accident, the other car is covered. Yours is not. To cover this eventuality, we recommend that you purchase additional insurance (CDW). You may prepay your car insurance. Please see rates in the car chart below. This prepaid insurance will cover damage to the car you are driving, less a deductible of $1,300–$2,200. This represents a savings of 20–30% from the rates charged when you pick up your car. This does not include damage to tires or loss of keys during a rental. If you do not purchase insurance, you may be required to leave a credit card for the value of your car upon arrival. 9.

GASOLINE is not included and costs approximately $4–$5 per gallon. Refuelling Policy Car is supplied with full tank; return full or refuelling charges will apply. A Note about UK rentals: All rentals will be provided with a full tank of fuel. On rentals of 5 days or longer you will required to prepay for your fuel at the time of rental. This method eliminates the need for you to refuel the tank prior to returning.
12. THEFT PROTECTION: This insurance provides coverage for theft or attempted theft of the Avis vehicle. The amount is €8.50 per day on all car groups. There is a non-waivable excess of €850 - €1,500 +VAT , which is the renters responsibility. Should you wish to decline Theft Protection, you will be held responsible for the full value of the car in the event of theft. 13. PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE This insurance is cover for the driver and passengers for personal injury or death. Does not cover luggage. The fee for this is €5 incl. VAT per day and is payable directly to AVIS.

Car seats are sometimes available, but must be booked in advance, at a cost of about $56. We suggest that you bring your own. Roof racks and tow bars are not available. 18. - AND MOST IMPORTANT - Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Small country lanes are very often narrow, with ancient thick walls of rock defining either side. Don't, however, shrink from driving such roads, as they can be avenues to beautiful scenery and fun to drive; but when doing so you must be almost constantly prepared to bring your vehicle to a crawl and negotiate some sort of compromise with the oncoming traffic, mostly cows and sheep.
