Avis’ rental terms and conditions are straightforward and easy to understand. At most of their locations in Italy, and at Ancona Airport, the primary renter is required to be at least 21 years of age, and to be in possession of a valid drivers license.

This is a rate applicable to each day of rental, and each underage driver registered on the rental contract, up until a maximum of ten rental days. There are also certain vehicle categories which may not be rented by younger drivers, for example, the categories of H (Full Size), I (Intermediate), J (Economy), L (Premium) and N (Convertible).

Additional drivers should meet the same requirements as the primary renter. A major credit card is need for the payment of the rental, and for insurance purposes.
