Car Rental Coverage Options
In Australia, if your rental vehicle is involved in an accident, an excess generally applies. We have three levels of coverage available that determine the amount of excess you will pay if an accident does occur.
All of our vehicles have a standard level of coverage included, our Standard Excess. If you want more peace of mind, you also have the option purchase Excess Reduction or Zero Excess to reduce your financial liability (excess) for an additional daily fee. This fee varies by age of renter, location, type of vehicle, and rate.
View our Fair Wear and Tear Guide for a clear distinction between reasonable fair wear and tear and unacceptable damage.
*All amounts are inclusive of admin fee, credit card surcharge and GST.
+Zero Excess is not available at all locations or available on trucks.
If you are making a contracted corporate reservation using an Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) or Avis Preferred number, please check your company's rates and coverages as these amounts may differ.
Please note: all coverage and protection options are subject to the Avis Terms & Conditions. Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Excess Reduction (ER) and Zero Excess (ZE) do not cover certain types of loss or damage including overhead, underbody, and water damage.
