Thought I would try Avis at the Salt… Thought I would try Avis at the Salt Lake City airport, worse wait ever, only 2 staff working, 30 waiting in line and no movement.

Total scam is Avis / Budget Total scam is Avis / Budget. Rented a car for 106Euro. Had to pay 179Euro extra for ‘something i signed for’. A windshield protection. They mislead you in signing a vague contract and threaten you with large 3.500 Euro fines for a tiny scratch. DO NOT RENT HERE EVER. This happened at Malaga airport.

Good experience with Avis at Oslo airport Despite some bad reviews, I'd rented an SUV in Avis at the Oslo airport and was completely satisfied. Nice car, good service, no lines, no hidden charges. Everything was great.

Avis Riga - stolen money Dirty car received from Avis, covering a small scratch UNDER the car. Returning the car, I had to pay 180 eur despite the obvious photos provided to them. Be aware of thiefs!

AVIS - the worst A friend and I rented a car from Avis for tw days in Bari. Unfortunately during the drive he received a call and pulled to the side to take it. As he did this he scraped a plastic wheel trim against the pavement. When we came to check the car back in we were told that both passenger side wheel trims had been scraped and the cost to replace them - 290 Euros!!! This made a total rental charge for two days of around 530 Euro! Apparently these plastic wheel trims were priced by Avis at 43 euro each, there was a processing fee of another 42 euro but the kicker was that we were charged 102 euro for 'Vehicle idle time' for a job which would take at most twenty minutes - the wheel trims were pull off push on types - and then on top of that Avis added a further charge of around sixty euro which Avis called an airport surcharge because of the damage!! Car rental companies have a reputation for fleecing their customers at every opportunity - AVIS are top of this list.
