Digital Check-In

Save time and travel safe with Avis digital check-in

Why accept a slow start to your self-drive experience? We want to help you get on your way quickly and safely.

That’s why we’ve introduced our new digital check-in feature which allows you to provide us with all the details we need, so we can complete your rental agreement before you arrive to collect your hire vehicle.

Check-In Now

How it works

You can check-in from the moment you’ve completed your booking. You will need your driving licence and a payment card to hand, because these details will be required during the check-in process. But if you don’t have all the information with you at the time of booking, you’ll be free to use digital check-in anytime that suits you up to two hours before your indicated collection time.

Don’t worry, we’ll send you a few reminders by email should you forget.

And that’s it, you’re ready to go.

On the day

You don’t need to print anything – just remember to bring your driving licence and payment card, plus one other form of ID. You’ll need to show us both of these as proof of identity.

For some higher value rentals, you may be required to share two payment cards, this will be highlighted in your booking confirmation.

At the Avis rental station simply head to the key collection point. We’ll ask you to confirm your identity so please make sure you have all the necessary documentation. Then we’ll ask for a signature and hand you the keys.

And that’s it, you’re good to start your journey, with minimal fuss.

Priority service with Avis Preferred

Don’t forget, as an Avis Preferred member you can enjoy priority service when collecting your vehicle. If you’ve downloaded the Avis app, you can use the app to bypass the counter altogether in certain locations.
