The store is right inside the airport, very convenient. The deposit is low and was refunded within three days after returning the car. Avis is really great, the car was in very good condition, and both picking up and returning the car were quick and easy. The deposit was also low. I'll definitely choose Avis again in the future. Before traveling, I read a lot of negative reviews about other companies, so I decided to rent from Avis in advance. They have a counter at the airport, which is very convenient. The car was new, with less than 3000 km on it. The initial deposit was just 500 RMB; I thought it was a mistake at first and confirmed it multiple times through text messages. The deposit was refunded the day after I returned the car (minus toll fees). During our 12-day road trip, the roads were well-constructed, wide, and not very crowded. Fortunately, we rented a small car, otherwise it would have been difficult to navigate in and out of small towns. Google Maps often directed us to very narrow roads in small towns. The toll fee was automatically charged through an HGS device, and gas stations offered free car washes.
1. Firstly, when we arrived at the AVIS branch at Istanbul International Airport, we showed our booking contract. The staff printed a pick-up contract that was 693.95 euros higher than our original contract. After a brief negotiation, the staff reprinted the contract at the original booking price but swapped the car for a Ford C-MAX, which is clearly not in the same category as a Nissan Qashqai SUV. Despite the staff's assurances that the Ford C-MAX had more space, it is actually a compact car with much less space than a Qashqai. To avoid wasting time, we had no choice but to accept it.
2. The booking contract stated a price of 5929 RMB or equivalent USD, which equals 693.95 euros. Upon picking up the car, we were charged a deposit of 1173.43 USD. After returning the car, 139.31 USD was refunded, and the final charge was 1034.12 USD. With the current exchange rate, that's 6442.56 RMB or 753.08 euros, which is 59.13 euros higher than the contracted price. Please assist in inquiring what these additional charges are for. Thank you!
3. Aside from the above issues, the pick-up and return process was rather convenient. The car was very new, with an odometer reading of 7180 kilometers, in excellent condition.
Quite professional, but the English service involving insurance is not very convenient for someone with average language skills like me.
