Car Hire

Hi,
I am looking at hiring a car in Zimbabwe. I have heard that some companies ask to hold on to your passport or credit card during the hire period. Is this just a photocopy or the real thing?
Thank-you

Hi Steve

I have just phoned Avis to confirm details of your question.

They do NOT hold onto your passport or credit card for the duration of hire.

They need your passport for verification pusposes after this they give it back to you.

They need drivers licence for licence number.

Credit they will emboss or swip it only and give it back to you.

They currently are having short term banking problems with Visa card so are only accepting American express, but this should be resolved with 2 to 3 weeks thereafter they will be accepting Visa card again.

You can pay with cash but a security deposit will then have to be left until the car is returned.
