CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS AT PARIS CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT, CDG

Satisfied

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.

Was bigger than ordered

Defective, damaged, unclean car - Renault Trafic 1. gas/clutch exhaust was coming inside the car. The car was not checked, it was supposed to be fixed first. while driving a smoke was coming from the engine, and was going inside the car. as a result plans were cancelled for the trips with car. 2. the car was damaged, front bumper was about to fall off (see pictures), a lot of big dents and scratches on the car. 3. was not clean at all, as if it was just given to us from previous rent. Bad customer service 1. spent half of the day dialing customer service, dialed 2 for van and trucks and refused to customer service, told us not to call this number, and everyone would refuse service. Finally when managed to call manager was only refunded the days for not using the car and offered no upgrades, or contract cancellation. Worst towing experience: took us 2 hours 1. we could only manage to get Renault towing service the next day and the guy comes out and blames us in French that we ruined the car and we do not know how to drive manual. He did not understand that we were given a car like this in the first place. I was able to get a policeman to explain him that it was not our fault. The only outcome: got refunded the days we did not use the car and a ride to nearby Avis in the railway station. Second car given was fine, and it did not have the above mentioned issue.

I was assisted by a young Black staff member. The service attitude was not very good. I waited in line for about 15 minutes before it was my turn, but the whole process took an hour to complete.

I waited for half an hour in the parking lot to get the car. The service attitude was good, and they promised to refund 30 euros as compensation. It's been three days since I returned the car, and I haven't received the refund yet. The gas tank was not full when I picked up the car, and the staff promised to reimburse me for the difference when I returned it. It's been three days since I returned the car, and I haven't received any update on that either. They didn't inspect the car at pick-up or return. They only asked if there were any issues, and that was the end of it. To avoid future disputes, I took photos and videos of the entire car during pick-up and return. However, the parking lot was too dark, so the recording was just for peace of mind.

Not bad

Very good attitude

Renting a car is very convenient, especially suitable for self-driving tours.

The staff was friendly, but there were significant hidden charges that exceeded the total cost of rental and full insurance. There was no paper contract and no Chinese contract (despite the platform clearly indicating that Chinese contracts were available). Requests for the paper and Chinese contracts were denied.

Despite all precautions, I was still charged over 1000 euros for insurance without my knowledge. Firstly, they added an additional driver fee of over 300 euros, and upon returning the car, they had me sign and charged me directly, even using the deposit to cover the insurance costs. It was extremely disappointing to be charged an extra 1000 euros for insurance on top of the full coverage I had already purchased. They even switched the car to a French model.

Very close to the airport.

Additionally, it has been two or three months since returning the car, and I've received several unexplained charges. This is quite frustrating! Charging is fine, but please provide a reason or explanation for the charges. The car itself was great! Very new and in good condition! And not too expensive! These aspects deserve praise!

Satisfactory, efficient, and fast

They gave us an upgrade , a big Jeep instead of a Clio . Really nice staff . Could not ask for more

No issue . Happy bunnies ..

Counter staff insisted that they only had smaller suv compared to Tucson. Then tried to upsell with added on insurance and then after that insisted on renting me snowchains because the cars all were on summer tyres. This is for a one month rent in December! Chain rental calculated per day and came to more than 100 euros after “discount”. I could have bought a set of chains cheaper than that.

Very good

Very good

The car was given without inspection. When complained, I was told to take picture such as no full tank or broken parts. The safety yellow jacket required by EU law was missing and I had to take a movie to show it wasn't there. At drop-off they tried to charge for missing fuel and I had to show the picture I took. Avoid Avis if possible.

The best car rental!

Truly make us easy
