All one way charges (if applicable) are always calculated and included in the rate you see on the website after selecting your preferred pick up and drop off location.

The excess is the amount for which the renter is responsible in the event of damage to or theft of the vehicle, provided that Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection are included in your booking. The specific excess amount applicable to your rental is detailed in Terms and conditions 

In the event of an accident, you must promptly contact the Accident Care number to report the incident and initiate an accident report. Subsequently, please notify Avance either through our call center (+302109200100) or via email (info@avance.gr) to receive guidance on the necessary next steps.

Yes. Upon vehicle collection, our representative will require a deposit to cover potential damage or theft during the rental period. This deposit will be temporarily blocked or charged to the main driver’s credit or debit card and retained for the duration of the rental.

Once you return the car without damage, the deposit/guarantee amount will be released/ refunded to the credit/debit card. The unblocking/refund may take 7 to 21 working days in case of a credit card or longer in case your card is debit, as it depends on your bank.
If, for any reason, the main driver’s card does not have enough funds for the deposit, the representative might regret the rental or might offer additional insurances/cover to reduce the deposit/guarantee amount.

Check the car
Walk around the car and look inside, checking for damage. If you find any, ask the agent to mark it on your rental agreement. You may also take pictures so you can be confident about what the car was like to start with.

Check what fuel it takes
Open the cap to see if it’s petrol or diesel. Petrol might have ‘95’ on it. If you’re not sure which fuel the car takes, ask the agent before you leave.

Look at the dashboard
Rental car fuel is provided on a ‘same to same’ basis, which means you start with a certain amount in the tank and you return the car with the same amount. Turn the key to check tank.

Sort your route
If your car has GPS, it’s worth setting it to your language before you head off.

Take a moment
Once everyone’s safely strapped in, take a minute to adjust the mirrors, move the seat, find reverse and check where the indicators are.

Look out for a petrol station
When you’re heading off, look out for a petrol station. It’ll save any last-minute stress about filling the car up before you take it back
