KAYSERI AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Upon arrival, the car I booked was not available, and I was asked to pay extra for an upgrade. I was very dissatisfied after refusing.

Not sure why, but I expected to pay 202 EUR at the store, and ended up being charged 907.55 TL.

The price was not what I originally booked. They added some insurance without informing me, costing an extra 200 bucks. Also, the car wasn't the one I booked. I reserved a Ford but got a Hyundai i20, which was very small. However, the car was quite new.

Difficult to find the rental company representative at the airport.

Nothing to write about.

I booked a VOLVO S60, and the order explicitly stated S60. However, when we got to the counter, they informed us that there was no S60 available and gave us a V40 instead. The car was quite average too. To make matters worse, when returning the car, we missed a gas station, and the fuel tank was only half full. For that half tank of V40 diesel, AVIS charged us 300 lira, almost 700 RMB, which is roughly 23 RMB per liter of diesel—a ridiculously high price. After a tough negotiation, we managed to get it down to 250 lira. Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with AVIS. I paid for a mid-sized car but got a compact car experience. Fortunately, we only had 3 people traveling; if there were 5, the trip would have been impossible. Additionally, being overcharged when returning the car was aggravating. If I weren't afraid of missing my flight, I would definitely have gone to find a gas station before returning the car. Choosing AVIS initially seemed like a good idea because of its reputed service and reliability, but it turned out no better than any other company, if not worse. More money spent for poor service.

Extremely dissatisfied!!! The AVIS rental point at Kayseri Airport is incredibly dishonest. I have had numerous rental experiences in many countries over the past decade, and this was the worst experience I've ever had. Firstly, they overcharge customers in every possible way. Secondly, during normal working hours, the rental staff were not present at their station, causing delays for customers returning cars and catching flights. Starting with the overcharging: 1. When renting a car on June 23, they charged extra by using an exchange rate 8% higher than the bank rate. Although the booking on Zuzuche was in euros, the rental company actually charged my credit card in Turkish Liras at a rate of 3.2:1 euros to liras, claiming this was their company rate. However, during our 20-day stay from June 20 to July 11, every other transaction, including rentals, hotel bills, shopping, dining, and airport currency exchange, was all settled at a rate of 2.95-3.00:1 euros to liras, consistent with Turkish banks' rates during that period. 2. At pickup, the fuel gauge showed about 90%, but the rental company employee insisted it was full, saying, “No Problem”. Yet upon return, they charged me for not returning the car with a full tank, despite my explanations. They also added charges for parking fees. On to the second point: On the return day, around 5 PM, we parked the car at the airport parking lot but found no AVIS personnel there. I called the AVIS desk—no answer. After passing through security into the airport, the AVIS desk was unattended. We spent over 40 minutes going back and forth from the parking lot to the AVIS desk looking for someone. Finally, a helpful security guard called around and found someone who told us to go back to the AVIS desk inside the airport. Carrying our luggage, we went through security again only to be told to take the car back out for inspection. This led to the situation where they charged us for not returning the car with a full tank; despite our explanations, AVIS demanded we refuel the car. Resolving this issue took over an hour, including the 40 minutes of searching for AVIS staff. If we hadn't planned extra time, we would have missed our flight. AVIS, a large company, but engages in petty tricks!

This is a great car rental company. Ali, who assisted us, was very patient and friendly.

Our group of 9 arrived at Kisseli Airport but didn't find the car rental company's pickup staff. We called the store, but the staff couldn't speak English. After seeking help from airport staff, the pickup arrived after 15 minutes. The pickup only took 3 of us to the car pickup point, which was 1 kilometer from the airport. At the location, there were only the boss and one staff member. They did not acknowledge the additional driver fee confirmed in our domestic order and doubled the price. They spent half an hour trying to sell us insurance, but we refused since we bought comprehensive insurance beforehand. The boss became impatient. After confirming the car, they took us for refueling and asked for a tip. Our remaining 7 companions waited for over an hour at the airport.

FOX unilaterally canceled my rental contract (which was fully paid in advance). My evaluation: FOX has zero credibility.

The advertised model is never available!

Quite good

The service was alright. As other customers have mentioned, there was a push to sell insurance at the counter. Additionally, the one-way fee increased from 470 lira to 530 lira. Since the staff had poor English communication skills and I was in a hurry, I let it go.

We did a road trip in Turkey, and the rental company picked us up from the airport at 2 AM and also sent someone to the hotel for the car return. The service was excellent. Our car's side mirror was damaged when parked at a hotel in Goreme, and the rental company owner drove for over an hour with two other people to check the situation and assured us that the insurance would cover it completely, which was reassuring. However, during our drive, the car got a scratch, but since it was minor and we were in a rural area, we didn't report it. As a result, we had to pay 150 TL when returning the car.

The service and car condition were both excellent.

The service was excellent and the company was very considerate. Since it was snowing heavily in Turkey at the time, the rental company intentionally adjusted the tire pressure to be a bit lower for us.
