                <Text>e-Tolls:E-TOLL COLLECTION DEVICE AVAILABILITY TOLL PAYMENT TAG PASS You are responsible for payment of all tolls incurred during the rental period. We offer an optional service called e-toll that allows customers to use electronic toll lanes on highways, bridges, tunnels and other tolled passages. All vehicles are pre-equipped to electronically process tolls. If you do not pay cash for tolls, you automatically opt into our e-toll service to which you agree to pay us or our toll program administrator with whom we will share your credit card/debit information for all tolls incurred during your rental and all related fees, charges and penalties. The e-toll fees may take 4-8 weeks after the rental to be billed to your credit card/debit card on file. E-TOLL SERVICE CONVENIENCE FEES The convenience fee for e-Toll usage is $3.95 up to $5.95 USD for each day you use the E-Toll device and there is a maximum of $19.75 up to $29.75 USD per rental month, plus toll charges. There are NO service charges if e-Toll is NOT USED during the rental duration. E-TOLL UNLIMITED Available at participating locations in the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Main, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. If you use the unlimited E-Toll service, all cost of tolls and convenience Fees are included. For this service, you pay a flat fee of $10.99 up to $23.99 USD per each day of the rental period, regardless of whether or not you incur any tolls, or a flat fee of $54.95 up to $119.95 USD per week. E-toll unlimited must be purchased at the beginning of the rental. OPTING OUT OF E-TOLL If you do not choose e-toll unlimited at the time of rental, you may avoid the standard e-toll fees on any given day during the term of the rental if you ensure the transponder shield box is in the "closed" position and you pay cash for all tolls, use your own adequately funded, properly mounted and compatible electronic toll device to pay for all tolls, or pay the toll authority directly and follow the toll authority rules and requirements. For more information on tolling, please visit avis.com/etoll or check at the time of rental.</Text>

                <Text>Optional Coverages:Acceptance of the Loss Damage Waiver relieves the renter and authorized additional drivers of responsibility for loss of, or damage to the Avis car, when they comply with the terms and conditions listed on the rental document jacket. At the time of rental, the customer must initial whether he/she accepts or declines the LDW and optional services. LDW and optional services must be signed for at the rental counter. LDW is taxable. If LDW is not accepted, the customer is financially responsible for the full value of: Accident damage Glass damage Stolen items (radio, battery, etc.) Vandalism Theft of the car Exceptions: In Wisconsin, if LDW is not accepted, the renter is liable for all loss or damage to the Avis car due to an accident or reckless, wanton behavior. In Illinois, if LDW is not accepted, the customer is financially responsible for the following types of damage, up to a maximum of $16,000.00 for rentals : Accident damage Glass damage Stolen items (radio, battery, etc.) Vandalism Theft of the car Canceling LDW Once LDW has been purchased, it must remain on the contract. The customer has the option to return the car &amp; close the rental agreement; however, this could change the rate for the rental agreement and a different, possibly higher, rate could apply for a new rental. Exceptions: Customers who rent in New York and purchase LDW in New York can decide to cancel this service at no charge, within specific guidelines: Rental must be 2 days or more. The cancellation must be within the first 24 hours of the rental. The actual renter must take the car to an Avis location for inspection &amp; must sign a cancellation notice. Loss of Use The customer may also be responsible for reimbursing Avis for the revenue lost by not being able to use the car while it is being repaired or not recovered due to theft (referred to as Loss of Use). Global insurance coverages are always subject to change. Please verify at time of rental.</Text>
