Avis card hold — United States
Avis publishes $250 for this charge in United States. That figure comes from Avis's own page, checked on 2026-10-13.
When it applies
Avis states there is no deposit, but when the rental is paid at the counter the card is charged the rental amount plus a minimum hold. The unused part is released on return, and the bank may take up to two weeks to show it.
What it adds up to
Over a seven-day rental, using the published rates:
- United States: $250 once, not per day
That is arithmetic on the published rate, not a quote. The rental itself is priced per search and is separate.
How we checked this
We read Avis's own page and recorded the charge it states for card hold. Nothing here is averaged across locations, and where Avis publishes nothing we write "not published" rather than a figure of our own.
