Collecting your vehicle
If you are collecting a vehicle at a UK Airport during the planned Border Force strike action, help us minimise the impact by updating your booking with your flight details.
During this period we want to assure you that we will do everything we can to ensure your journey is as smooth as possible. The action affects several UK airports and is expected to cause longer waiting times to pass through the UK Border.
Avis Budget Group remains in close contact with the Airport Authorities and we will endeavour to support customers delayed or disrupted by industrial action over the festive period. For more information on the planned strike action visit Gov.uk
Please note below the planned opening hours of the UK offices that may be impacted by the planned Border Force strike action.
