Unreasonable Charges

International brand with professional service.

The return process was simple and efficient, very good. When picking up the car, they checked my Chinese driver's license, Dutch passport, and China Bank Visa card for a long time and said it was not acceptable. After explaining for a while and showing my long-term work visa for China, they finally gave me the car. Their staff have different levels of competence.

Very bad, I will never use this company again. 1. I reserved a mid-sized MPV equivalent to a Sharan, but they gave me a Touran, which is much smaller. After hitting the road, I realized it was the lowest configuration, which was really disappointing. 2. I returned the car 20 minutes late and was charged an extra day's rental fee, which makes no sense. When I argued with them, they just said it's the rule. Impossible to communicate! 3. The deposit I paid doesn't seem to be accounted for; AVIS said it's a service fee and they don't know anything about it, still impossible to communicate with them. So, I hope to resolve the following issues: 1. Is it reasonable to charge an extra day for being 20 minutes late? Please inform me. I saw on the receipt that there's an overtime fee calculated by time, not by a full day. 2. When will my deposit be refunded? Please explain. Bad review, I'll go with Hertz next time, AVIS is truly a mess.

The staff drove the car to us when we rented it, and the return process was very smooth. They took the car from the front door without inspecting the exterior much.
