Car Rental in Heydar Aliyev Intl Airport

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is Optional
Depending on car group rented, customer is liable for an amount ranging between 13,000.00 USD and 30,000.00 USD if Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is not taken.  Purchase of CDW reduces liability to 100.00 USD in the event of damage to the Avis vehicle.
Note: In the event of collision a police accident report must be submitted.  Without a police report the CDW is void. 

Theft Protection (TP) is not available   

Note:  If you require additional insurance coverage you may purchase locally to reduce/remove the insurance excess.  Just ask at the Avis rental desk when you collect your car.

Global insurance coverages are always subject to change. Please verify at time of rental.

Avis Azerbaijan accepts Avis Charge Cards, AMEX, Mastercard, Visa.

Pre-authorisations and Security Deposits 

Unless confirmed otherwise, the amount of the pre-authorisation taken on pick-up of the rental vehicle is calculated as follows: 

(250 AZN or 300 AZN or 400 AZN or 500 AZN according to car groups) 

* The "vehicle rental price" includes the vehicle rental cost and all optional extras you've requested, calculated at the start of the rental based on the intended length of the rental. For the avoidance of any doubt, any "Pay at Location" amount you owe in relation to the vehicle rental (including any optional extras) will be included as part of the pre-authorisation and will be charged to you at the end of the rental (using the card provided for the purposes of the pre-authorisation, unless agreed otherwise). 

As part of the pre-authorisation in case we have to charge you at the end of the rental for any of the following: 

i. costs to refuel the vehicle (where relevant). 

ii. additional rental charges in circumstances where you fail to return the vehicle or any optional extras at the end of the agreed rental period or to the agreed return location. 

iii. any additional charges or fines you incur relating to your use of the vehicle (which we have been notified of prior to you returning the vehicle, which will include, for example, charges relating to traffic violations); %20 service fee will be applied.

Where the pre-authorisation we take does not cover the charges you incur, we will request you make a further payment for the additional amounts owed.

In relation to certain high value vehicles, we may require you to provide us with two payment cards for the purposes of the pre-authorisation. Where this is the case, this will be confirmed when making a booking. 

If you'd like more details, please call our customer support team or ask a member of our team.

Debit cards are not accepted.

Requirement to bring a valid driving license with you.
In Azerbaijan, all drivers must bring their valid physical unharmed driving license with them (electronic driver license is not accepted due to insurance regulations).

and we cannot confirm with certainty the details included within the driving license, the driver will also need to provide either an international driving license or an official English translation, by a notary, of their driving license. If this might apply to you, please contact us (prior to your pickup date) as we would be pleased to confirm if an international license or official translation will be required.

Public liability insurance is in accordance with the insurance laws of the country.  Customer may inquire at the time of rental for additional information of the benefits, conditions and acceptance.
