ELECTRIC VEHICLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Tesla vehicles cannot be driven through an automatic car wash.)
If you rent an electric vehicle from Avis, you and any authorised driver acknowledge and agree to adhere to the following terms and conditions during the rental period:
- The daily rental rates of your rental vehicle do not include the cost of electricity required to charge an electric vehicle. Avis will provide our electric Vehicles with at least 77% charge, and we require you to return the vehicle with the same or greater charge level.
- Where a vehicle is returned with less than 77% charge, a service fee (as set out in table below) will be charged under the rental agreement by Avis.
- Where a vehicle is returned with less than 10% charge, an additional fee (as set out in table below) will be charged under the rental agreement. If the vehicle is returned with insufficient charge to relocate it to our closest rental depot and requires towing by Avis, all related fees will be charged under the rental agreement.
- All references to fuel charging costs on your rental agreement are superseded by these terms and conditions.
- Our electric Vehicles are provided to you with charging cables, which must be returned with the vehicle at the end of the rental period. Charging cables are not part of the standard excess coverage, and if they are not returned you will be charged the full replacement cost of the cables.
- Any damage to a battery caused by impact to the under body of the vehicle due to careless driving including, without limitation, driving over gutters, curbs or driving along poor-quality roads at excessive speeds, is not covered by your standard excess. All reasonable costs associated with repairing or replacing this damage will be the responsibility of the renter.
- If you choose to sign into any application within the car infotainment system, you are providing your consent by doing so. Signing out of this system at the end of your rental period is your responsibility and Avis will not be responsible for any future usage of your account where your details were not removed by you.
- You will be able to access Tesla superchargers to recharge Tesla vehicles. Any supercharger use is billed back to Avis, and you are responsible for these costs. Avis will on-charge these costs plus a reasonable administration fee on receipt of an invoice from Tesla. These charges will be billed to your original method of payment up to 30 days after your rental check in.
- You must return the Vehicle to the Avis location shown on the rental agreement unless you have informed Avis of a change prior to your return date and Avis has agreed to the change in writing. Please note a relocation fee may apply if the vehicle is not returned to the location shown on the Rental Agreement.
- Tesla vehicles cannot be driven through an automatic car wash. Damage that occurs from driving a Tesla vehicle through a car wash is excluded from your standard excess. All reasonable costs associated with damage caused by driving a Tesla vehicle through a car wash will be the responsibility of the renter.
- You must comply with all manufacturer specifications set out in the owner’s manual.
- Our electric vehicles are fitted with electronic devices to monitor the vehicle location, usage, and servicing of your vehicle, including your speed, time, fuel consumption, distances travelled, and current and previous locations visited.
- 24-Hour Roadside Assistance is free for all inherent mechanical faults (as determined by Avis or its authorised repairer) related to the vehicle. For all other Roadside Assistance call outs including battery recharge, tyre related incidents, lost keys and keys locked in the vehicle, a service fee will be charged by Avis.
