The pick-up service attitude was not great, and they did not give a complete explanation of the car's condition nor did they provide precise directions to the parking lot. The car had 80,000 kilometers and its condition was poor, with an engine that roared like a tractor. The benefit was that there were contracts and instructions available in Chinese. Entering and exiting the parking area was somewhat challenging, mainly due to the airport's road design which requires taking detours if you miss an exit. Therefore, it's essential to allocate sufficient time.
The pick-up location is easy to find; the service is attentive and friendly; the car is in great condition, a brand new 2024 Clio; returning the car is convenient.
Extremely negative review. They forced us to pay for full insurance, otherwise, they wouldn't let us pick up the car. After a 10-hour flight, arriving late at night with an elderly and a baby, and it was raining outside, they made us wait for an hour until we paid for the full insurance to get the car. I've never encountered such an agent! I've driven in Europe at least 5 times, rented from Sixt in Norway, France, and Italy, and used QEEQ in Germany. For these four trips, I used the same Hong Kong license with basic insurance without any issues. But this time in Paris with Avis, the customer service claimed I needed to pay for full insurance because my license wasn’t an international one; otherwise, they wouldn’t let me pick up the car. After nearly an hour of negotiation and no other choices with my family waiting, I had to agree. My phone hadn't been activated in France yet, so I couldn't contact QEEQ. Later, we asked nearby rental companies Eurocar and Sixt, and they all said the same thing: an English translation on the driver's license is enough, no need for an international license. Clearly, Avis was scamming us to make more money under the guise of requiring an international license. Adding money means you can pick up the car, otherwise, you can't; what kind of policy is that? Moreover, the return location in Paris city center is very inconvenient. I will never use Avis again.
