The driver of the car is the titleholder of the Car Rental Agreement
All additional drivers must meet the same minimum age & drivers license requirements as the renter.
Only the drivers included in the Car Rental Agreement have the right to drive the Avis rental car. The contract holder must notify the Avis car rental office in regards to any additional drivers to be included in the agreement, at the time of car pick-up. An additional fee of EUR 7 per day, for a maximum of 10 days will be charged. The number of additional drivers is limited to 4. The restrictions for certain vehicle groups and supplements depending on the age and experience of the driver are also applied in the case of additional drivers. If the car is driven by a driver who has not been authorized by Avis (i.e. who has not been included in the Car Rental Agreement) and the car is damaged, the entire cost shall be paid by the Contract holder (up to the full price of the Vehicle, irrespective of the type of protection purchased at the opening of the contract). The titleholder of the agreement will also pay for any cost due to damage caused to any third party.

You can pay the cost of the rental in cash at the end of the rental period. Cash payments can be done in RON, in accordance with the applicable legislation. When picking up the car, you must provide a credit or a debit card so that Avis can block the amount for the estimated cost of the rental and that of the optional insurance (accident or theft), as well as the equivalent of a full tank of fuel.

Debit cards are not accepted.

Both the renter, as well as the additional drivers must hold a driver's license issued at least one year prior to the rental date.
To rent a car in Romania, all drivers have to submit to the rental office a valid driving license that corresponds to the car group of the requested vehicle. A valid driving license means both a national driving license with an expiry date greater than or equal to the estimated date of the vehicle handing over and the international driving license if they:

• hold a driving license issued in Europe and rent in a country from outside Europe
• or hold a driving license issued in a non-European country and rent a car outside of that country
• or hold a driving license that is not written in Latin characters such as Arabic, Greek, Russian, Hebrew, or Japanese.

If they do not comply with the above provisions on the international driving license, all drivers driving in Romania may be charged with driving without a valid license. Their driving license may be retained by the Road Police because it has not been accompanied by an international license and they may be prosecuted. They will no longer be able to drive their rented car and will have to make other arrangements for returning the car, which would result in additional costs. 

We offer you the possibility to take a complementary insurance which covers:

• bodily injuries and death of the passengers and/or driver;
• emergency medical expenses
• medical support 24/7.

Avis proposes the following type of personal insurance in Romania: Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). It reimburses the driver and the passengers for unintentional bodily injures they might suffer during the rental period and for emergency medical expenses, within the guarantee limits mentioned hereinafter. If you choose a PAI, you will benefit from coverage for the following risks:

•   death;
•   permanent disability;
•   permanent functional and aesthetic consequences of injuries, burns or frostbites;
•   temporary loss of work capabilities ¿ hospital periods/medical leave (out of hospital treatment).

PAI conditions
This type of personal additional insurance must be signed at the beginning of the rental period and must be included in the Car Rental Agreement. The enforcement of this type of insurance is subject to respecting the conditions for renting a car, especially territorial validity. The coverage for the Personal accidents¿ insurance will not cumulate with that of any other individual insurance or that of any life insurance that the driver or the passengers may already have. For other guarantees, you can recover the claim from other insurers that offer identical guarantees with those of PAI. For each insured person, the reimbursement in case of death or disability caused by the same accident cannot be cumulated. Reimbursement is subject to providing documents proving any expenses. Failure to comply with the rental conditions will lead to any optional insurance to become void. Personal Accident Insurance is provided by an authorized insurance company and is intermediated by Avis Romania.
