SGProvided a smaller vehicle than what I paid for I received a confirmed rental agreement about 1 month prior to collecting my vehicle. When I arrived for collection, I was told they only had 1 vehicle left, which was smaller than what I paid for and couldn't accommodate my luggage, so my family was stuck with a 16kg bag resting across the lap of 2 family members seated in the back seat. When I returned the vehicle to AVIS, I was advised to lodge an email complaint with AVIS Management. I did. It has now been 1 week and no response at all, not even an acknowledgment. The ratings tell you all you need to know about this company.

HUAVIS - 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.

GBShocking pick up service at Heathrow… Shocking pick up service at Heathrow Terminal 5 . Waited over 20 mins at Terminal for a bus to take to car rental area off site and when it arrived there was not enough room. Other car rental companies had 2 buses arrive and depart in same period !! Regular occurrence with Avis and they cannot manage a key area of their business and now we just go book elsewhere . So much for their “preferred service”

GBBald tires on THOUSAND mile plus family trip BEWARE. Rented a Lexus FROM AVIS. Upon return, shown that TIRES were BALD. Wonderful agent concerned that I was given car in bad condition. Informed me he could not rent this car again until tires replaced. I was SHOCKED and SCARED that I put my FAMILY AT RISK on an over THOUSAND MILE roadtrip to Orlando, FL. When I informed AVIS, they,replied,"Sorry, we took a days rental off." $44?! So, if my family were involved in a catastrophic accident due to bald tires would it have been 3 days deducted?! Oh! Then when car was EXCHANGED not returned, I was levied a $90 gas charge though tank was NOT empty and I'd asked the agent BEFORE exchanging. She replied that it was not a problem. WORSE CAR RENTAL EXPERIENCE. Thank GOD my family was not harmed. Be warned. I certainly was. STAY AWAY FROM AVIS. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE WORTH MORE THAN $44.
