" Should have a better coordination with Car rental to assure we get what we booked and paid for . "
" Firstly, we didn't get the car we booked . It was supposed to be Land Rover discovery sport 4x4 but they gave us Kia Sorrento instead . It's totally a different concept of car . Furthermore, we had to buy new insurance because the Agent said that they have nothing to do with the insurance included with our reservation because it's not purchased directly with Avis. "

" The man who gave us the car was vile. He was so rude and so unhelpful. He made us spend £50 extra which was unnecessary. The credit card didnt go through initially.

We told him not do it as we want to use Martin's credit card rather than my debit. He refused. He refused to give me his name. So because he was so unhelpful we were forced to spend £50 unnecessary when if he would of been a tiny little bit patient and helpful we could of authorised the bank (which literally too seconds).

" Your VFM very good as always. Website clear and easy to use. It might be useful to include some info as to where exactly vehicle pick up and drop off is for different vendors. At Keflavik for Avis, the pick up was a 200 yd walk in the open and drop off 450 yds away all in the open though a shuttle van was available. Info would not change the distance but we would have had rain gear to hand for pick up though not needed on this occasion. "
" 45 minute queue to collect the car - only 3 out of 7 stations manned. Staff very calm and professional though clearly undermanned. No one to hand over car thus no idea what a couple of buttons did as manual in Icelandic. Asked to photo on phone and e mail if disagree with damage marks given at reception rather than agree it with a human at handover. Car covered in black ash marks not noted. Front windscreen very greasy so dangerously unclear in rain requiring a roadside stop to try to clean it. Though ageing, 76K on clock, it drove well. E mail to service manager on disappointment ref queue, ash marks and windscreen responded to promptly apologising and stating intention to investigate but no further update. Shuttle van in rain from drop off 450 yds away from terminal appreciated. Good value for money via yourselves. "

" Counter staff had no idea what I had paid for, or what the insurance I had paid for would cover. There seemed to have been a breakdown in communication between Avis and AutoEurope, which was very frustrating. The instructions for finding the car and checking it for damage were also very unclear and confusing, leading to a lot of wasted time. I was initially asked to sign a document saying I was happy with the car's condition without even seeing the car! When dropping off the car, I was not given any paperwork or receipt to confirm drop off and condition. I then found unspecified "additional products" added to my bill.

" The experience with Auto Europe was ok. However you are promoting a terrible company who is happy to rip off customers to be greedy and make more money for themselves. I will never go near Avis ever again - they ruined our holiday and completely scammed us. "
" 1. Avis lied to us and told us we would need a GPS at £20 as we wouldn't get signal in Iceland with our phones. We had 4G at the top of a glacier. they knowingly ripped us off 2. They made us buy additional insurance and never refunded us for the first lot of insurance we paid for 3. They miss sold us SCDW and said that our standard CDW would not cover us. They lied to us and mislead us on purpose. They said that we would have to pay £1600 on normal CDW should there be any damage however we had excess reimbursement on the original cover 4. They made us buy sand and ash protection when we didn't need it. I know they have to make money off insurance as they don't make money on rentals but a company with some integrity would advise what you do and don't need. We didn't leave the city in the car and the weather was good - we did not need this cover 5. We tried to contact Avis to discuss this and their customer services team would not help us and said that we were wrong. They would not let us speak with management or escalate the complaint and they ended up putting the phone down with us. 6. We were totally fooled into hiring a 'Budget' vehicle and they totally shafted us on insurance - totally unfair and unreasonable company and the worst experience I have ever had in my life. "

" Even though I had intentionally purchased the extra insurance with Auto Europe, and I showed the voucher to the counter staff, we were told at the counter that we had no insurance and should not take the vehicle without upgrading to Avis's insurance. This ended up costing us an additional £415 for the rental period!! Almost the same as the original price paid. In addition, I was not given a chance to actually read the contract I was signing, as the agent kept scrolling through all the text on the ipad and only stopped for me to sign on the line at the bottom. This lead to me unintentionally and unknowingly agreeing to be charged in GBP rather than local currency, which increased the price of the additional insurance and 2nd driver by £35 because Avis add their own 7% conversion fee on top!! Not once was I made aware of this, and I am furious! I have complained to Avis about this, but was just told that I'd signed the agreement and that's it. I feel totally ripped off and will NEVER rent through Avis again. I'm also in two minds about my Auto Europe experience, as I was under the impression that I would only have to pay for the additional driver at the counter, nothing else. "

" No issues for us, but it took a long time waiting at the counter because there were several other customers who needed a rather long time. I don't understand why companies like Avis have to charge such huge sums for zero excess (especially because I need to buy several additional add-ons to be fully covered - almost doubling rental costs).
