Returned my Avis rental this evening and decided to read everything.if you do put fuel in during the rental extra fuel is charged as per the fuel gauge.If not charged as per mileage driven.What's the bet that they have some pretty lousy fuel consumption figures?

Been using Avis for the last ten years and never had a problem here in Australia and in the USA. I rent about 12 times a year and I always get great service and regular upgrades, without asking at Darwin, Cairns and Port Douglas offices. I take the excess reduction insurance because I not sure about those credit card insurances.

With 12 rentals a year, you'd basically pay for an annual multi-trip policy and get all the additional benefits for free.Been using Avis for the last ten years and never had a problem here in Australia and in the USA.

I am guessing they would fill up to the 22nd click and charge you the difference.
I make sure the needle/gauge is always on full and there can be no disputes. And take a photo as well.

When Does a $5 Toll Cost $30? When You're Driving a Rental Car - Businessweek
[h=1]When Does a $5 Toll Cost $30? When You're Driving a Rental Car[/h]By Justin Bachman August 29, 2014
Florida’s attorney general has received nearly 100 similar complaints in the past 18 months from rental car customers regarding the toll violation fees. The office is investigating fee complaints from customers of Dollar Thrifty, Avis Budget Group (CAR), and Enterprise Holdings, according to spokesman Whitney Ray. The issue has also prompted consumer lawsuits by renters in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Washington state.

Rental-Car Chains Bask in the Power of Higher Prices
By Justin Bachman August 06, 2014
These are blessed days in the land of rental cars. Despite a wave of auto recalls this year that have required some costly shuffling in their fleets, the three main U.S. auto rental companies—Enterprise, Avis Budget Group (CAR) and Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ)—are enjoying robust pricing thanks to industry consolidation.“I’m probably more enthusiastic about our business than I’ve ever been,” Ronald Nelson, Avis Budget’s chief executive, said Tuesday on a conference call with analysts. “And one of the reasons is the meaningful change in pricing that we’ve now seen play out over the past six quarters.”
The merged chains have been shrinking their fleets, which has helped them increase prices. The three also are reducing the amount of inventory available on opaque pricing sites such as Hotwire (EXPE) and Priceline.com (PCLN), which offer consumers deep discounts without revealing the exact company that’s renting the car until a transaction is completed. New revenue management software also helps the large chains forecast supply and demand better and adjust prices more rapidly.
During the FTC’s eight-month review of the Dollar Thrifty sale, the agency noted that the three biggest companies would control roughly 98 percent of the airport rental market.
