No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Avis booking in Rhode Island are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Avis counter.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Avis counter in Rhode Island charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Avis to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.

The only costs outside this guarantee are:

• Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
• Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)

When picking up your Avis car rental at T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) in Rhode Island, follow these steps after landing:

• Claim your luggage on the lower level of the terminal
• Take the escalator and Skywalk to the Interlink Facility
• The Avis counter is located on the 3rd floor of the Interlink Facility
• Vehicles are on the 4th floor

If you are an Avis Preferred member, check the Reader Board at the facility for your vehicle assignment. Your keys and rental contract will already be inside the vehicle, so you can proceed directly to the 4th floor without stopping at the counter.

Walk-up renters should follow the Interlink signs from the terminal. The Avis counter at Rhode Island's T.F. Green Airport is open Monday through Sunday from 6:00 AM to 12:30 AM. After-hours vehicle returns are available: park in the secure check-in lane, place your keys and contract on the dashboard, and remove all belongings.

Avis operates three main locations in Rhode Island, all in the Providence area:

• T.F. Green International Airport (PVD), 700 Jefferson Blvd, Warwick: open Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 12:30 AM
• Providence Downtown, 1 Dorrance St, Providence: open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
• North Providence, 1270 Mineral Spring Ave: open Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM

The Avis airport location at T.F. Green offers the longest operating hours and is the most convenient option if you are arriving by plane. The downtown Providence and North Providence Avis locations have more limited weekend hours, so plan your pickup accordingly. If your flight arrives late at night, the airport location in Rhode Island is your best option as it stays open until 12:30 AM daily.

To pick up your Avis rental car in Rhode Island, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with your name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• Your passport or government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required at most Avis locations in Rhode Island.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital versions shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Avis counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Rhode Island has a cashless toll system, and as an Avis renter in Rhode Island you have several options for handling tolls.

The main toll road for passenger cars is the Newport Bridge (Claiborne Pell Bridge), which connects Newport on Aquidneck Island to Jamestown. Toll costs for a standard 2-axle car are:

• E-ZPass (non-resident): US$4.00
• Bill by Mail (no transponder, video plate capture): US$6.00

Your Avis vehicle in Rhode Island will include an electronic toll device. At pickup you can choose an unlimited toll package (typically US$11 to US$25 per day depending on the program) or pay per use. If you drive through a cashless toll without enrolling, the Avis toll program will bill the toll amount plus an administrative processing fee to your credit card after the rental ends.

Rhode Island has no congestion charges or emissions zones, so tolls are the only road fee to plan for.

All bookings include Tolls Cashback: you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your Rhode Island rental. Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Avis vehicle, attaching your rental agreement and a toll receipt or statement.

Yes, one-way rentals are available with Avis in Rhode Island, including returns to other Avis locations within the state or to nearby cities such as Boston.

For example, you can pick up at the Providence Downtown location on Dorrance Street and return to T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Warwick, or pick up at the Rhode Island airport and drop off at a Boston-area Avis location.

A one-way drop-off fee may apply depending on the route. This fee is route-specific and varies by distance, vehicle class, and season. When booking, the drop-off fee will be listed under the "To pay at destination" section of your confirmation if it applies to your chosen route. It cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to Avis at the counter.

To avoid surprises, review your booking confirmation carefully before pickup. If the counter charges a drop-off fee that was not disclosed on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply.

The minimum age to rent a car with Avis in Rhode Island without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee on top of the base rental rate.

Rhode Island is not one of the states (like New York or Michigan) that require rental companies to serve drivers under 21, so the minimum age at Avis locations in Rhode Island is 21.

Drivers under 25 are also restricted from renting certain vehicle classes. Categories typically available to under-25 renters include economy, compact, and intermediate sedans or SUVs. Classes such as full-size, premium, luxury, minivans, and convertibles generally require the main driver to be at least 25.

One exception applies: if you are a main driver aged 21 to 24 from Latin America or the Caribbean, certain Avis rates in Rhode Island may waive the underage fee. This waiver must be explicitly shown on your booking confirmation and applies only to eligible vehicle categories. Check your confirmation or contact customer service to verify eligibility before pickup.

When you pick up your Avis rental car in Rhode Island, a temporary authorization hold will be placed on your credit card. This is not a charge; it reduces your available credit until the rental is closed and your bank releases the hold.

For standard vehicles at Avis locations in the United States, including Rhode Island, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount may vary depending on the vehicle class, location, and season. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold.

Important requirements for the deposit at the Avis counter in Rhode Island:

• A physical, major credit card with the main driver's name printed on the card
• Sufficient available credit to cover the hold plus any expected charges
• Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the deposit

After you return the vehicle, Avis releases the hold. Your bank or card issuer controls when the funds appear back on your account, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined at the Rhode Island counter.

When renting with Avis in Rhode Island, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Avis vehicle itself, including collision, theft, and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero. CDW and LDW do not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving the Avis rental in Rhode Island. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include a state-minimum liability amount, but not all do. It is strongly recommended to add Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your booking for full protection on Rhode Island roads.

Common exclusions to be aware of:

• Tires, undercarriage, and roof damage are often not covered by standard CDW
• Prohibited use such as off-road driving or driving under the influence voids coverage
• Only drivers named on the Avis rental agreement are covered

Review your booking confirmation to confirm which coverages are included in your rate before picking up your Avis car in Rhode Island.

Yes, most bookings include Travel Assistance coverage through Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to your Avis rental in Rhode Island as well.

If you experience a medical emergency, a legal issue following an accident, or your airline loses your luggage while traveling to or from Rhode Island, this benefit can help. Core protections typically include:

• Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of an accident
• Compensation for luggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

To reach assistance 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your booking confirmation number ready when you call.

Important: this benefit does not cover damage to the Avis vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (covered by LIS/SLI). It also does not apply to pre-existing medical conditions.

Please note that this Travel Assistance benefit is not available to residents of the United States or Canada. Check your booking confirmation to verify that coverage is included for your specific Avis reservation in Rhode Island.

Avis rentals in Rhode Island follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

At pickup, verify the fuel gauge with the Avis agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on your rental agreement. Take a photo of the dashboard showing both the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.

When returning your Avis car in Rhode Island, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive. Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case a charge is disputed.

If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Avis may charge:

• A fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices
• A refueling service or administrative fee

For after-hours returns at T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Rhode Island, park in the check-in lane, place your keys and rental contract on the dashboard, and keep a photo of the full fuel gauge for your records. The Avis airport location does not have a staffed counter after 12:30 AM, so documentation is especially important for late-night returns.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Avis rental in Rhode Island, but the additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license to sign the rental agreement.

Whether the additional driver fee is included depends on your rate. If your booking confirmation states "Additional driver free of charge," the first extra driver is covered. If it is not included, Avis charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the rental period.

Key rules for additional drivers on Avis rentals in Rhode Island:

• The additional driver must be at least 25 years old at Avis locations (this is an Avis, Budget, and Payless policy)
• Drivers aged 21 to 24 may not be accepted as additional drivers or may be subject to an underage surcharge
• All additional drivers must meet the same document requirements as the main driver, including an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet
• Only drivers listed on the Avis rental agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections

If someone drives the Avis vehicle in Rhode Island without being named on the agreement, coverage may be void and additional charges could apply.

If you return your Avis rental car in Rhode Island after the agreed drop-off time, a grace period of approximately 30 minutes typically applies before late charges begin. After that window, additional fees are billed.

At the North Providence Avis location in Rhode Island, the documented grace period is 29 minutes. After 30 minutes late, a three-quarter-day late charge plus applicable taxes applies. After 90 minutes late, a full extra day charge plus taxes is added.

To avoid late fees on your Avis rental in Rhode Island:

• Plan your return with enough time to refuel near the drop-off location before the scheduled time
• If you need more time, contact Avis directly to request an extension before the return deadline
• For returns at T.F. Green Airport (PVD), after-hours drop-off is available: park in the secure check-in lane and leave keys and the rental contract on the dashboard

If your flight is delayed and you cannot pick up the vehicle within 24 hours of the original reservation time, contact customer support as soon as possible, as the booking may be forfeited after that window without a refund.

Yes, Avis rentals in Rhode Island are subject to local taxes and fees that may be added to your total cost, particularly at the T.F. Green Airport (PVD) location in Warwick.

Airport-based rentals in the United States typically include charges such as:

• Airport Concession Recovery Fee (ACRF): a percentage charged by the rental company to recover the cost of operating at the airport
• Customer Facility Charge (CFC): a per-day or per-transaction fee that funds the rental car facility at the airport
• State and local rental taxes specific to Rhode Island

Off-airport Avis locations in Rhode Island, such as Providence Downtown on Dorrance Street or North Providence on Mineral Spring Avenue, may carry lower fees because they are not subject to airport concession charges. This can make off-airport pickup a more cost-effective option if you do not need the convenience of the airport counter.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are listed as "To pay at destination." If your confirmation shows "Taxes and Fees: Included" and you are still charged at the Avis counter in Rhode Island, No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply. Keep all paperwork and contact support after completing the rental.
