CAR rental companies Avis and Europcar have confirmed they will not charge people for the cost of recovering hire vehicles abandoned in fire-affected areas.
Avis Australia posted on its Facebook page that customers forced to leave their cars in the Port Arthur area because of the bushfires would only be charged up until the evening of Friday, January 4.
"Avis will be absorbing the costs of trucking the vehicles out of Port Arthur and the lost rental revenue," it said.
Europcar also announced that customers would not be charged for lost rental revenue or vehicle recovery costs.
Europcar Tasmania managing director Brendon Ayers said customers would only be charged for their vehicle rental until the time they informed the company they would not be able to return it, regardless of the length their original booking.
Tourism Industry Council Tasmania CEO Luke Martin said he had been advised by Tasmania's five largest hire car companies -- AVIS, Budget, Thrifty, Europcar and Red Spot -- that no customer who abandoned their vehicle because of the fires would be charged penalty rates for not returning it.
Several evacuees spoken to by the Mercury at Nubeena on Sunday said the only reason they were unable to leave the town was they were being threatened with open-ended charges if they did not return their cars to the designated drop-off location.
