You can pay the cost of the rental in cash at the end of the rental period. Cash payments can be done in RON, in accordance with the applicable legislation.

IMPORTANT! If you decide to purchase additional protection or insurance from an external supplier, you will still have to pay if the Vehicle is stolen or damaged. To do this, you must follow the steps described below:
- Pay in full to Avis the amounts due for the damage or theft of the Vehicle up to the maximum liability agreed with Avis.
- Submit a claim for compensation to your external supplier. It is your responsibility to make sure you understand the terms of any cover you buy from an external provider and for any claim you make. Unfortunately, we are unable to help you with your claim.

Both the renter, as well as the additional drivers must hold a driver's license issued at least one year prior to the rental date.
To rent a car in Romania, all drivers have to submit to the rental office a valid driving license that corresponds to the car group of the requested vehicle. A valid driving license means both a national driving license with an expiry date greater than or equal to the estimated date of the vehicle handing over and the international driving license if they:

• hold a driving license issued in Europe and rent in a country from outside Europe
• or hold a driving license issued in a non-European country and rent a car outside of that country
• or hold a driving license that is not written in Latin characters such as Arabic, Greek, Russian, Hebrew, or Japanese.

If they do not comply with the above provisions on the international driving license, all drivers driving in Romania may be charged with driving without a valid license. Their driving license may be retained by the Road Police because it has not been accompanied by an international license and they may be prosecuted. They will no longer be able to drive their rented car and will have to make other arrangements for returning the car, which would result in additional costs.
