Top tips for hiring a car from Avis in Durham

  • Something to think carefully about when you book Avis car rentals in Durham is the type of car you will want based on your trip needs. Standard or full-size cars offer more space and comfort for passengers. They are a good choice for small families or groups of friends. For larger families or groups, minivans provide ample space and seating for everyone. They are comfortable for longer journeys and can accommodate plenty of luggage. If you're eco-conscious or want to save on fuel costs, look for hybrid or electric car rental options in Durham.

The more you rent with Avis, the more points you can accumulate, leading to even more rewards.

If you return the vehicle ahead of schedule, there won't be a refund provided for the unused portion of the payment.
