A major credit card will also be required for the hold of the estimated price of the car rental upon collection of the vehicle. Customers may also provide a debit card with the Mastercard or Visa logo at the time of rental, however, an additional $200,00 will be placed on hold over and above the estimated rental charges, and these funds will not be available for use.

The Las Vegas Airport car hire companies, including Avis, have many different types of vehicles for hire, in various price ranges. Customers mainly choose a vehicle for its size and price, but sometimes cars are selected for their more stylish and elegant characteristics as well. The more affordable cars from Avis are found in the Subcompact and Compact car classes, and are similar to the Hyundai Accent and Ford Focus. These smaller cars are ideal for all driving purposes, for driving in the city or for driving longer distances, and come with automatic transmissions and air conditioning.
