Drivers Licence
Valid driver's licence A potential renter must present a
valid driver's licence at the time of rental checkout. The
licence is checked for validity by noting the following: -
provincial (state) seal or stamp - expiration date -
description of the renter - traffic violations - licence
signature Erasures or corrections are not accepted unless
authorized by issuing province or state. Restrictions- rental
is prohibited to holder of driver's licence with daytime
driving restrictions to opreate a vehicle for business
purposes only. Driver's licences accepted by Avis: -a
driver's licence issued by any province or territory in
Canada -a driver's licence issued by any United
States-territory or possession -a valid driver's licence
issued by a country participating in the 1949 Geneva
convention on road traffic or the 1943 convention on
regulation of inter-American automobile traffic.
-international driving permits serve only as a translation,
and are valid only if presented in conjunction with an
official driver's the issuing country.
- -policy for acceptance of graduated driver's licence in
Canada is as follows: -British Columbia: Class 5 -Nova
Scotia: Class 5 -Newfoundland: Class 5 -New Brunswick:
Class 7 (level 2 only) & Class 5 -Ontario: Class G and
G2 - class G only: London, Sarnia, Windsor on
Graduated driver's licence is a system to integrate a
newly licences person into the driving public. This is
accomploished by gradually increasing the driving privileges
during the novice driver's first two years on the road. It is
not possible for Avis to monitor the correct use of the
vehicle based on the stage the driver is in, so many
customers must complete all of the stages in order to rent a
vehicle. The first stage for new drivers could possible have
the following restrictions: -may only drive at certain times
of the day -may only drive on certain highways -may be
required to have a licenced driver in the vehicle from 6
months to a year. -may be required to have a notice on their
vehicles. Temporary licences: temporary licences, issued as a
replacement to previously qualified drivers are acceptable
for rentals. Temporary licecnes can be issued for rentals.
Temporary licences can be issued for the following reasons: -
a lost licence - change of the address (usually involving a
change in province or country) A temporary licence will be
checked for validity stamp or steal and expiration date.
Temporary licences issued as a 'beginner's permit' for the
purpose of learning to drive are not considered a valid form
of licence and therefore, are not acceptable for the purpose
of renting an Avis vehicle. Rentals to the non-licenced
renter An individual who is unable to drive due to a
disability, handicap, visual impairment, etc. may rent a car
if the disabled person meets Avis standard qualification for
personal and financial responsibility and is accompanied by a
duly licences driver who is at least 25 years of age. The
disabled customer will be the actual renter. The individual
with the driver's licence will be the sole operator of the
car for the duration of the rental. Both the renter and the
driver must go to the counter at the time of rental. Rentals
to disabled customers are exempt from any additional driver
charges and the authorized driver is exempt from the
additional driver's credit requirements. The renter is not
required to show proof of disability and under no
circumstances should the renter be asked to show proof of
disability.
