Very good

Horrible experience with AVIS rental company! They said the car I reserved was not available, and after switching vehicles, they had me sign a new contract, falsely claiming no additional charges would apply. Upon return, they said the contract included insurance and charged me 1781.88 Euros. I had already purchased comprehensive insurance in my home country and should not have to buy such expensive insurance again. This is blatant fraud! The rental company should help protect innocent consumers like us and support our complaints!

Very, very dissatisfied.

Avis is considered a high-end rental company, there’s nothing to criticize.

Despite booking over a week previously so that Avis would have plenty of time to set things up, when we arrived they did not have our car ready (Merc E Class) and did not have anything comparable to offer. After calling their associates, the only available alternatives were a monstrous Merc G Wagon (imagine trying to park that in the land of the Fiat 500) for more money, or a BMW 3 Series Touring. We took the BMW. Then we were informed that the insurance that we'd already paid for via Easyrentcars would not offer adequate cover, and for fully comprehensive cover we had to book with Avis. Given that we'd already had a car damaged in a car park in Italy on a previous trip, we felt that we had no option but to comply with Avis' advice.
