There are certain terms and conditions at Avis, Brindisi Airport, which need to be understood. The minimum age to rent at this location is 21, and all primary renters between the ages of 21 and 25 will be considered as ‘underage’ drivers. Underage renters will need to pay a ‘young driver fee’ per day of rental, up until a maximum of ten rental days. This fee will also apply to any other ‘younger’ drivers registered on the rental contract. Drivers of this age group are also not permitted to hire from the categories of H (Full Size), I (Intermediate), J (Economy), L (Premium) and N (Convertible).
