“Avis - Scam”

Written on: 08/06/2012 by ds1735 (0 reviews written)

Just have a terrible experience with Avis car rental. It was fully prepaid booking and after returning a car I got few other charges from Avis, which are 2 times more than full cost of the booking and.

I advise do not rent car from Avis, or be prepare to pay a lot more than your booking cost.

This happened to me in Cyprus this year. I spent some time online at home looking for a good deal which included full insurance and eventually settled for that Avis who offfered a small car for 90 euros a week.

On arrival in Cyprus we were informed that Avis have a policy that you authorise payment for a full tank of fuel when you pick it up. On return they do not give a refund for any fuel returned with the car.
Knowing I was only going to do around 200kms I decided to fill the car just before i returned it.

When I got home I found that I had been charged 90 euros for the full. On questioning this I was told that it is thier policy not to refund unused fuel. The fact I had probably returned it with more petrol than I pick it up with made no difference.

In effect whatever I had done I was going to pay 180 euros for the weeks hire. Avis never again!!
