Spain fines Avis €1 million for abusive rental fees
Spain's Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030 fined car rental company Avis the maximum €1 million after finding serious violations in its rental contracts, specifically the improper charging of an 'administrative management of fines' fee of €33.88 to €45 to customers who committed traffic violations. The authority concluded the charge was an unfair contract term because Spanish traffic law already obliges the vehicle owner to identify the driver, and the practice continued even after a Vitoria-Gasteiz court declared the clause null and void in September 2020, leading to an aggravated classification. Avis can appeal the fine in court.
