Avis Car Rental at Perugia Airport

Perugia Airport is also well known as San Egidio Airport, and is a small international airport just 12 km from the city of Perugia. Perugia is the capital of Italy’s Umbria region, which is the only region on the peninsula that has no coastline. Perugia Airport is referred to as being a very friendly and efficient airport, and since is it so small; many passengers feel that it offers service with a personal touch. Not many destinations are served from this airport. The main flights head for Milan Malpensa, Trapani and London Stansted. Passengers arriving at Perugia Airport often rent a car for transport, from one of the car hire companies at the airport. Avis is present at Perugia Airport, and offers quality vehicles at reasonable rental rates. Avis is also a well-known global car rental company, which has many years of experience in the industry.

Avis Perugia Airport can be found in the arrivals area of the airport, and is available from Mondays to Saturdays, between the hours of 08:00 and 19:30.

A rented car in Umbria is extremely useful for day outings to the towns and cities nearby, as well as for traveling to more prominent Italian cities, which are not far from the airport, such as Rome, Florence and Pisa.

Avis’ website displays all the information you need in order to rent the perfect vehicle for your holiday or business trip, including a straightforward presentation of their rental terms and conditions. At most locations in Italy, and at Perugia Airport, the primary renter is required to be at least 21 years of age, and to have a valid drivers license from his/her country of residence. Keep in mind that drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 will be subject to additional ‘young driver fees’, which is a rate applicable to each day of rental, and each underage driver listed on the rental contract, up until a maximum of ten rental days. There are certain vehicle categories which may not be rented by younger drivers, and these include the car groups of H (Full Size), I (Intermediate), J (Economy), L (Premium) and N (Convertible). Additional drivers should also provide a valid drivers license upon collection of the vehicle, and are required to meet the same requirements as the primary renter.

In terms of car hire insurance, customers should ensure that their credit card company provides adequate coverage, and if not, should purchase insurance from Avis. When customers buy insurance locally from Avis, they can also reduce, or even remove the insurance excess. The insurance of Collision Damage Waiver, or CDW, is optional, but Theft Protection, or TP, is mandatory. A major credit card in the name of the primary renter is required for payment of the rental period, and Avis accepts the cards of American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard / MasterCard, Visa and Avis Charge Cards.

Vehicles from Avis Perugia Airport are only of the latest model, and are reliable vehicles that have low mileage. They are divided into various car categories, ranging from the smaller Economy vehicles, to the large Minivans and Vans that are ideal for groups of travelers. The Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic is an example of an Economy category vehicle, as well as the New Corsa 1.2 16V Enjoy, Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 and Nissan Micra 1.2. All these cars are light on fuel, and come with excellent rental rates. The Nissan is an automatic vehicle in this category, and is a very popular choice amongst passengers who are familiar with this type of vehicle. Economy cars seat up to four or five passengers, but families may find them a bit small for their luggage items.

Compact vehicles, such as the Volkswagen Golf, are slightly larger, while the Intermediate and Full Size categories offer larger vehicles ideal for families or even business renters. They comfortably seat up to five people, and include the vehicle examples of the Alfa Romeo 159 1.9, the Mercedes Classe A180 (automatic), and the BMW Series 320D Eletta. Premium vehicles are automatic as well, and have a variety of extra features, which makes them more elegant than the other ordinary cars for hire.

Families enjoy a wide variety of vehicles from Avis. There are wagon type vehicles such as the Volkswagen Passat 1.9 Wagon for extra luggage storage space, and Minivans like the Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 and Ford Galaxy 2.0, which seat up to seven people.
