Of course, I got a little nervous when I read the other thread stating that a spouse driver now requires a fee and an additional driver form. We've always been told my spouse can drive without these, and he was actually driving when the mishap occurred, which was noted on the accident report.

Hopefully, the previous information I'd been given that my spouse can drive without the additional driver form and fee is still accurate.

Your help was most appreciated throughout this thread!

from the website...

Additional Drivers

The following individuals, if 25 years of age or older and in possession of a valid driver’s license, may drive the car with the renter’s prior permission:

Renter’s employer (while on company business);
Renter’s fellow employee (while on company business);
Renter’s spouse or life partner.
The above additional drivers are considered “authorized drivers” and need not be present at the time of rental nor do they need to sign an additional driver form.

Other individuals may be listed as additional drivers, provided they are at least 25 years of age; present a valid driver’s license; present an Avis-honored charge card; and complete an additional driver form. An additional driver fee may apply for each additional driver (see Additional Driver Fees for details and exceptions).
