All Avis vehicles are divided into various car categories, and customers will select one of these categories when renting a vehicle rather than a car by its specific make and model. Avis offers a comprehensive website, which displays all the categories available at Florence Airport, along with pictures of example vehicles in each category. There is also plenty of information about the procedures and policies to be followed when renting from Avis. Customers can use Avis’ website to make advanced vehicle reservations, and also to hire extra equipment for their vehicle. Avis offers safety seats for babies and booster seats for older children, as well as satellite navigation systems. A GPS unit is a wonderful piece of equipment to have with you on your journey, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area in which you will be driving. They also usually come with an extensive list of pre-programmed points of interest, so that you will always be able to find the nearest gas station, hotel, pharmacy, restaurant, shopping center etc.

The Economy category offered by Avis is popular with many customers, as these vehicles are fuel efficient and affordable. They seat between four and five passengers, and are ideal for city driving. A good choice for couples or small families. The Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic is an example vehicle in this category with a manual transmission, as well as the New Corsa 1.2 16V Enjoy and Fiat Grande Punto 1.3, which is a vehicle with five doors. The Nissan Micra 1.2 is a vehicle with an automatic transmission in this category. Compact vehicles from Avis are similar to those in the Economy class, and are also reasonably light on fuel. They include the Volkswagen Golf 1.9.

Vehicles with a bit more interior space can be hired from the Intermediate and Full Size categories. These are nice vehicles for the average sized family, or even business renter. Intermediate vehicles include the Mercedes Classe A180 and Alfa Romeo 159 1.9, while the BMW Series 320D Eletta is available in the Full Size Category. The Mercedes Classe A180 has an automatic transmission. If you need extra space for luggage, then the Compact Wagon or Intermediate Wagon categories are a great choice, as these vehicles can store five or more large luggage items, and still have room for up to five people. The Ford Focus 1.6 is an example vehicle in the Compact Wagon category, while the Volkswagen Passat 1.9 Wagon is available in the Intermediate Wagon category. Business class passengers arriving at Florence Airport may be interested in the Premium category, as it contains vehicles which are more stylish and elegant than the ordinary rented vehicle. An example vehicle is the Mercedes E220 CDI Classic, which has an automatic transmission and four doors, and is guaranteed to create an excellent impression at any prestigious business function.

Avis, at Florence Airport, even caters for customers who require a larger vehicle. The categories of Mini Van, Full Size Van and Premium Van are available, and these are all a good category choice for larger families or groups of travelers. For up to seven people, the Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 or Ford Galaxy 2.0 are ideal vehicles, while for up to nine passengers, Avis offers the Nuovo Ducato Panorama 2.3 in the Premium Van category. The convertibles at Avis, such as the Peugeot 207 1.6, are sure to add some excitement to your holiday, while the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 in the 4 Wheel Drive category is great for off-road driving.
