Rent an electric car with Avis

Driving electric for the first time? There are a few differences compared to a gasoline car, often to your advantage.

• You drive automatically (no shifting)
• The car is quiet and accelerates smoothly
• You always see how much range you have left
• Charging is often more cost efficient than refueling

Most drivers feel comfortable with electric driving within minutes.

With an electric rental car from Avis, you can comfortably drive between 250 and 450 kilometers on a full charge. The exact range depends on factors such as speed, driving style, and weather conditions. This gives you the flexibility you need, whether you're taking a short trip or planning a longer journey.

You can easily check how many kilometers you can still drive via the dashboard. The car continuously calculates the remaining range based on your driving behavior and battery level.

In addition, many navigation systems help you along the way by showing nearby charging stations, so you can easily plan a charging stop when needed.

Driving electric is surprisingly simple. You’ll enjoy a smooth, quiet ride with instant acceleration. The controls are intuitive, so most drivers feel comfortable with electric driving within minutes.

Charging time depends on the type of charger.

• At a standard charging station, charging usually takes a few hours
• At a fast charger along the highway, you can often charge up to around 80% in 20 to 40 minutes

This way, you can quickly get back on the road during your trip.

Driving electric is often more cost-effective than driving on gasoline. The exact cost depends on where you charge and the type of vehicle.

Based on average prices in the Netherlands (March 2026):

• Public charging station: ± €0.45 – €0.50 per kWh
• Fast charger along the highway: ± €0.60 – €0.75 per kWh

With an average consumption of 15–20 kWh per 100 kilometers, this comes down to: ± €0.05 – €0.10 per kilometer.

For comparison, a gasoline car typically costs around €0.15 – €0.17 per kilometer. This means that electric driving is often significantly more cost-effective.

Yes, charging is completely safe, even in the rain. Charging cables and stations are designed to operate reliably in all weather conditions.

Yes, we ask that you return the electric rental car with the same battery level it had when you drove off, just like returning a gas car with the same fuel level.

• Did you receive the car with, for example, 80% battery? Then please return it with 80% as well.
• If you return the electric car with a lower battery level than at pickup, the charging costs for the difference will be charged to you.
• If you return the car with a higher battery level, for example 100% instead of 80%, the extra charged percentage will be credited to your final rental bill in your favor.

Just like refueling a gas car, service charges may also apply for recharging the vehicle.

Yes, the electric rental car comes with a Type 2 charging cable for use at public charging stations. Fast chargers have a fixed cable. A home charging cable is not included.
