Avis Car Rental at Salt Lake City Airport

Salt Lake City International Airport is one of the major airports in North America. It serves a catchment area of around 2.5 million people, and is currently ranked as the 21st busiest airport in the country for passenger traffic. It serves more domestic flights, but has several international flights on a daily basis as well. The airport is recognised by its code of SLC, and is a major hub for the airline company Delta Air Lines. Passengers of the airport can travel by public transport, by taxi or shuttle or by a rented car, from one of the Salt Lake City International Airport car rental companies, such as Avis. Car hire is often the preferred means of transport, as it allows the freedom to travel to any area at any time that is convenient.

Passengers arriving at Salt Lake City Airport will find a modern and well-equipped establishment. There are plenty of shops and restaurants available, as well as many other services, such as banking outlets and free wireless internet connections. Information counters are also available. To find the car hire companies, passengers will need to leave their terminal and go to the parking garage of the airport. The car hire companies are located on the lower floor of the garage. Avis is open at Salt Lake City International Airport seven days a week, and twenty-four hours a day, and is therefore convenient for passengers on all arrival flights. Cars may also be returned at any time of the day or night. The parking garage is within walking distance of the airport’s two terminal buildings, therefore no further form of transport is required.

Avis requires their customers to be at least 21 years of age, however, persons younger than 25 will pay higher rental rates. An automatic charge of $27.00 per day of car hire (per underage driver) will be applicable. In addition, young drivers are restricted from hiring cars from the following vehicle categories: Luxury, Minivan, 12-Passenger Van, Specialty, Fullsize SUV and Premium SUV. Persons over the age of 25 may also use a debit card for the initial hold that is placed on their account for the estimated rental charges due, provided that the card has the MasterCard or Visa logo. Young renters will need to use a major credit card, such as American Express, AT & T Capital, Diner’s Club Int’l, Discover, GE Capital, JCB, MasterCard, PHH, Sears and Visa. However, if a debit card is used, an additional amount of $200 will be held against the account, which will not be available for use. A reversal of the amount will be made as soon as the car is returned and the rental fees is paid, but the bank may take some time to post it back to the account.

All the Salt Lake City International Airport car hire companies require their renters to have a valid drivers license. US licenses and Canadian-endorsed licenses are accepted, but drivers from other countries may require additional documentation, and an International Driving Permit. A passport will be required, and perhaps a return airline ticket. Any person who would like to rent a car may be subject to credit checks and to checks relating to their driving history. The car hire companies have the right to refuse a vehicle to any individual.

A rented car from Avis will have a full tank of fuel, and can be expected to be in a clean and reasonably good condition. Most vehicles are of later models, and are tested to be mechanically sound. Longer rental periods usually require the customer to purchase a full tank of fuel, which is an amount paid over and above the vehicle’s rental costs. When fuel has been purchased, the vehicle is returned with an ‘empty as possible’ tank, as no refunds are given for unused fuel. If fuel has not been purchased, simply re-fuel your vehicle before returning it. If you don’t have time to re-fuel, Avis will do it for extra charges. Along with your vehicle, the Where2 GPS Navigation System can be hired, as well as child seats. Ski-equipped vehicles may also be available at this rental location.

From Avis Salt Lake City International Airport, hand controls for disabled drivers can be requested. This is a device that is available on certain types of automatic vehicles, and operates the brake and accelerator pedals of the vehicle. Avis hand controls are free of charge. Other services may also be available to persons with physical disabilities, and they are usually free of charge as well.

Smaller and more affordable cars to hire include the Hyundai Accent and Ford Focus, while midsize to Fullsize cars are similar to the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Impala. Avis also hires premium and luxury cars such as the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Towncar, convertibles such as the Ford Mustang, SUVs similar to the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Escape, Ford Edge and Chevrolet Tahoe and minivans such as the Dodge Grand Caravan. A wide range of specialty cars can be hired as well, which include everything from the Mini Cooper to the Lincoln Navigator. Most of the cars mentioned can be arranged as an Avis one way hire from Salt Lake City International Airport. One way hires allow the vehicle to be returned to a different car rental location. However, always confirm the availability of this service with Avis, and find out if extra charges are applicable.
