EN ESPERA DEL APOYO PARA LA DEVOLUCIÓN DE LOS CARGOS EXTRAS COBROS INDEBIDOS POR AVIS
We initially booked the rental car on Zuzuche for 1,375 euros, but when we got to Rome to pick up the car, they said we needed to pay extra because there were two drivers, raising the price to over 1,600 euros. We accepted that. During the trip, our car window was smashed by thieves, and when we returned the car to the Madrid Avis location, they charged us 480 euros for the repair, which we also accepted. However, Avis ended up charging us a total of 2,357 euros, at least 200 euros more than expected, and there was no way to dispute it.
We booked the vehicle for 8:30 am.
When we arrived at 8:35 the branch was still closed.
The clerks arrived only around 8:45 and the whole process until we left took over half an hour.
When we returned the vehicle we arrived at 9:15 am and the clerk asked us to wait until he was done with another customer. A process that took him a long time.
He then told us he owed us a high amount because we were late.
He said the vehicle was delivered to us at 8:38 ...
Unreasonable extra charges! The car rental company offered the choice to return the car with a full tank or not, but despite refueling to a full tank, we were still charged over 100 euros! Throughout the trip, the fuel we purchased ourselves cost far less than these additional charges. During the return inspection, the engineer confirmed everything was fine but then turned around and deducted money from us, demanding fuel receipts. It’s absurd because self-service fuel stations don’t issue receipts! Honestly, AVIS uses their size to exploit customers. Extremely disappointing!
Avoid this car rental company in Rome at all costs. Either pay 50 euros per day for their insurance or risk facing a nightmare. Since we didn’t purchase insurance from them, they gave us a car with a contract explicitly stating there was a dent. It was nighttime, and we didn’t take photos of any other damages. Upon return, they immediately pointed out a hole in the left mirror—which we accepted. However, after returning the car, they charged my credit card 2599.99 euros. When questioned, they sent an invoice listing various scratches and damages. It was absolutely shocking—one small dent cost us over 1,000 euros! This is the first time I’ve encountered such a frustrating car rental experience. We've been waiting almost a month, but they still haven’t provided a detailed breakdown of the charges—just the invoice with pictures. The rental platform is actively helping us negotiate, but the car company is extremely uncooperative. I highly recommend avoiding this car rental company.
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!
Having red many negative reviews on AVIS I have to admit that I was a bit worried. Joined their preferred client scheme to better understand how they operate and I would recommend that every client does it as well... Had a pleasant experience at the desk, friendly and efficient with the added bonus of a free upgrade to a top of the range Seat Alhambra practically new! It certainly made our holiday more pleasant. Also thanks to the preferred client scheme I went directly to the car skipping the long queue at the collection booth. Car was clean and sanitised with the key in a sealed bag. Went in fearing the worst and came back having another favourite rental company. If I was simply lucky I cannot tell but based on my experience I would certainly recommend.

This year there were very few offers and priced were very high compared to previous years but with qeeq I had the lowest price for the category. It was easy, the communication was good and will certainly use it again.
Unjustified charges: 1. When returning the car, no inspection was performed. Instead, they asked if we were going back to Rome or taking a flight, then simply said 'ok.' It's not acceptable to claim they were busy and let customers leave first, as we saw three employees leisurely smoking. 2. There is concrete evidence that the staff lied. We had just filled up the tank a few kilometers from the airport, but they charged us 15 EUR for an 'empty tank' after we left. 3. They fabricated car damage. No accidents occurred during our rental, and the damage was not confirmed with us on the spot, yet they charged us 291.69 and 67.2 EUR. 4. If this is an issue of individual employee integrity, then failing to thoroughly investigate and reasonably explain to customers is a problem with Avis as a company.
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.
Despite informing the rental company that we had already purchased full insurance through Zuzuche, the counter staff insisted on recommending their own full insurance.
Unreasonable charges were applied. The car's wipers kept making noise, and they deducted over 300 euros from my credit for 2 days. Is 2700 RMB reasonable for this?
The rental company had a guide who was very polite. However, the person who assisted me during the rental was not very professional, especially since he kept speaking Italian to someone else while talking to me.
Most importantly, I ended up paying almost double the rental fee, which was very irritating.
I was promised a Mercedes Thunder or a similar class vehicle, but was given a Fiat. How is a Fiat considered the same class as a Mercedes??? Moreover, this Fiat only has one door on the right side in the rear; there's no door on the left side, so you can only enter from the right. The first seat you encounter is broken (the seatbelt doesn't work). Seriously, I'm baffled. How can they rent out a car like this?
In addition to credit and debit cards, you can now pay for online car rentals with cryptocurrency! Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are accepted. Curious about how long a Bitcoin transaction takes or how to pay with Bitcoin? Read our FAQs for more details.
