The Avis branches at Rome Airport in Italy and Madrid Airport in Spain provided excellent service. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive, the pick-up and drop-off process was convenient and quick, and there were no hidden charges. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Five stars!

Despite informing the rental company that we had already purchased full insurance through Zuzuche, the counter staff insisted on recommending their own full insurance.

Even though I had informed them that I bought full insurance through Zuzuche, the rental company desk still insisted on recommending their own full insurance.

Attitude is average, service is average, phone calls are not answered, and the company prioritizes its own interests.

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.
