Fuel Service Option

Save yourself time and frustration by adding our Fuel Service Option to your next online reservation. By selecting the Fuel Service Option, you can purchase a tank of gas directly from Avis at the time of rental, and avoid the hassle of searching for a gas station to fill the tank before returning the car.

If the Fuel Service Option isn't exactly what you're looking for, choose one of the following refueling options at the time of rental:

Self-Service

Purchase fuel just prior to returning and return the car to Avis with a full tank of gas. If you choose this option, Avis will not charge you for fuel.

EZFuelTM and Fuel Service Charge

Driving under 75 miles? With our newest refueling service, customers who drive fewer than 75 miles pay a low flat fee for fuel and then return the car without stopping at the pump. Select this option and we'll automatically charge you a flat fee of $15.99, ($16.99 if you rent the vehicle in California). If you **FILL UP THE CAR*** AND present a receipt for your fuel purchase, the EZFuel charge will be removed when you return the car.

EZFuel option is not available at all locations. Please contact your renting location to confirm the availability of this service.
