" Finding form to make claim on website is very difficult. "
" Queued for over an hour for car. Were told we were lucky to get a car even though we had prebooked. Said Montenegro is not in Europe and charged extra (157 euro) for "basic" insurance even though receipt said "super". Only 2/3 seat belts in the backseat worked. No damage noted at drop off point but at the desk they said we couldn't leave the country without paying 800 euro for windscreen damage. They refused to call police even though we hadn't paid yet as the contract was already closed. "

" If my experience using a third party to buy car hire is normal. I would suggest people book directly with the car hire company. "
" When we arrived we joined the very long queue for the Avis desk. After 1 hour we had made no progress in the queue. The Avis desk also served Payless and Budget customers. There were two rental agents serving one customer at a time in booth with sliding doors which were shut when the customer was inside. People in the queue started to look at the reviews - all were terrible. Some people came out of the office extremely angry with no car. Other potential customers were crying with no car. As we had pre paid we had no alternative other than to wait or loose the money we had prepaid for our voucher. After 3 hours we went into the office, the rental agents were rude and unprofessional. They insisted we had to take the additional insurance or they wouldn't let us have a car. There was no option to secure the deposit on a credit card as we had been expecting. No insurance, no car! They said what do you expect if you book through a third party 'auto Europe' laughing. We had purchased the additional insurance through yourselves which I would like to be refunded for. We also had to pay for Avis full insurance, in order to get a vehicle. The whole experience was a farce and a scam by a franchise of Avis. It was disgraceful! The car was new - but had no number plates. When we questioned this they said it was ok to drive. We obviously got stopped by the police! I strongly advise that you reconsider using Avis, budget, Payless at Tivat apt. Please advise how I can claim the insurance costs back from yourselves. I am also contacting Avis directly about this horrendous experience! What an introduction to Montenegro! "

" Under resourced, unprofessional, un roadworthy car. Worst hire car experience of my life.. "
" With 2 people infront of me, it was over 1 hour to get to the kiosk desk for car paperwork at pick up. The day following the pick up the front tyre was flat as a result of a damaged tyre wall, which Avis should have spotted or been aware of before rental to me. At car drop off, they also charged us for a cross border charge, EUR 206.45 which we only enquired about and it was not made clear to us they had included this cost in the contract, and that it was payable regardless of whether we crossed a border or not (we did not cross any borders in the car) this is currently in dispute with their customer services as they were not t all clear about the nature of this charge, their attention was not focused on making sure we understood, only getting us out of the kiosk as quick as possible because of the building queue, they are completely under resourced and unprofessional compared to some of the other rental companies, I would not use them again ever, anywhere or recommend to anyone.

" If there are hidden costs from your providers it reflects poorly on your company so wouldn't use again. "
" It took around an hour to queue and pick up the vehicle even though we had already filled all our information in. We were charged a ridiculous amount for an excess (around €300!) even though we have printed certificate of proof that we had bought excess with a third party (reduce my excess). We then had to wait another 30 - 40 minutes for our car to arrive. As we were working in montengro this made us both extremely late, frustrated and unhappy very early into our trip. "

" The car had classic automatic transmission and it has some troubles switching to higher gear: it takes too long before doing that.

Upon arrival I was informed that I have full protection with the voucher I bought from you and then they charged me £138 for something - even Avis HQ does not know for what. So not a good experience.

" I've always had good experience with Auto-Europe and cannot fault your service but you should really send my feedback and other feedback to Avis (check tripadvisor and your other clients who have used Avis Tivat), or remove them from your offering as it will continue to scam Auto-Europe customers My insurance is now looking for Avis's charging sheet to pay my claim but I do not have it and have absolutely zero confidence contacting Avis Tivat to ask for them to email it to me... Can you can help please? "
" I wish I had read the on line reviews first about Avis in Montenegro before I booked as it seems to be a frequent scam that AVIS Tivat airport are running on all holiday makers who take out their own excess insurance.. Check Tripadvisor reviews, lots of examples over the last year. My short break was ruined by my Avis experience at the airport. I am also disappointed as I have booked Avis cars, through you, in numerous countries over the years and never had a problem. I also wanted to book Avis, it being a reputable and worldwide brand... or so I thought ! On arrival and after waiting for over an hour to be served, they tried to do the hard sell on the excess insurance, but I didn't buy as I already have yearly cover. When collecting the car, they weren't bothered checking for scratches/marks and said I could take it right away. But I insisted that we jointly check the car, as the car wasn't washed and very dusty outside. I am glad I did as I noticed lots of small scrapes and marks that we noted down. After a lovely few days without incident, on returning the car they went over it with a microscope (a complete behavioural contrast to me collecting the car) and found two small marks that I probably missed or were new, and when I say small, they were max 1 to 2cms and would probably buff out or the like. Going back to the office, another customer was just having the experience I was about to !. We waiting about 40 mins and I was then presented with a €635.25 bill for the 2 tiny marks, I asked to see their charging sheet but was told they couldn't find it. As my flight was close to leaving (hence they took their time to process my paperwork to ensure it was) I did not have time to argue, I had to pay, so to try to reclaim later from my insurance. This sort of behaviour, should not be allowed to happen and is doing reputation damage to Avis, and also tarring Auto-Europe for recommending them. It's not just happening to the odd person but seems to be endemic from what I witnessed whilst waiting in the queue and reading subsequent "tripadvisor" reviews. "

" Avis is a total fraud. While giving the car - they did a 30 seconds check and got me to sign the paper. Not once, they said that I should check the car myself. While dropping off the car - they checked the car for 10 not only just looking but also feeling the bumpers to find some old scratches underneath the bumper which they also knew are old scars but found that as an excuse to charge money as I had a large amount of money as deposit. They knew that it would be possible to easily take whatever money they want and when I spoke to the manager, he said this is business and this is how they make money. I had such a bad experience with Avis and in the past - I have hired cars a million times in many different countries but have never had any issues. This is the first time I hired from Avis and it is a terrible experience. "

" Never had an issue with Avis before, but the collection counter at TIvat airport was nothing short of shameful. There were 10 people in the queue in front of me and it took over 3 hours to reach the front. That's longer than the flight took from Manchester. Every client was bogged down in argument with the counter staff who were trying to flog extras with dire warnings of consequences if they didn't accept them. There was no recognition over the time this was taking and the inconvenience to customers. On collection it was clear that the inspection staff were on commission to spot damage that wasn't registered at the time of pick up, however small. In my case the inspection took 20 minutes. Also there was no copy of paperwork offered for customer retention, meaning there is no protection to customers should the agency impose costs against blocked credit card deposits after customer departure.

Upon returning the car Avis tried to tell me that there were scratches which would be chargeable damage. These scratches were almost invisible minor surface scratches that would easily be polished out, and were almost certainly there when I hired the car.

" I do not like the pressure of being told in a huge queue that I dont have enough insurance to drive the car I've booked and paid for, considering that I have already paid for a package including insurance. And queuing twice was unnecessary and inconvenient. "
" When we arrived at Montenegro the 2 men at the counter told us that we didn't have enough insurance and that we needed to pay for extra insurance. I argued that I DID already have insurance but they insisted that I needed more and therefore really had no choice but to pay the extra. This was in a long queue that was taking ages and I felt pressured to buy it. The car was fine and the staff member that checked us out was fine. Returning the car was initially ok. But then we had to go and queue a SECOND TIME to close the account down. There was a huge queue to get into the airport so this took a long time. They should allow you to check out at the point you hand over the car as this is very annoying having to queue twice! The queues took a very long time to reduce as each customer seemed to take a very long time to be processed by the Avis staff. I was not very happy to be honest. Not at all. I will be making a complaint. "

" Booking easy but not happy being told no insurance when picking up car "
" Pick up took a long time due to them trying to sell their insurance claiming no insurance cover by auto Europe. Car not clean on collection and had to point out error with petrol level. Avis also tried to charge 36 euros saying car was dirty inside with grass in foot wells on return causing stress. "

" Rude and unhelpful staff at Avis desk. Aggressive selling of their extra insurance( which we had purchased separately elsewhere). Took about half an hour to do simple paperwork and then mis directed us to collect vehicle. I had concerns about what happens to my credit card data after car photocopied etc. Very negative experience. The car itself was good. "

" I was find your website easy to use and I confident that the product I booked was perfect for my needs. However service at Avis in Montenegro was very disappointing and 'the third party' insurance was not what I wanted. Taking into account the service and a car I think the price was too high. "
" I was waiting to be served almost 2 hours. I booked Citroen C3 but I got Dacia, which I don't think is "similar". I cannot understand the reason why they offered me to rent GPS when the car itself has it. I think they simply want to rip clients off. Despite buying a full insurance cover on your website I had to give a deposit and I was told that in case of any accident I would have to pay for the damage myself and deal with the claim later on. "

" We had to wait in a queue with no seats and very little space for 2.5 hours to get our hire car. We then went outside to collect it and there wasn't one there for over 20 more minutes.

" Please see above reply to Q.3 "
" Although the queue for the AVIS desk was not too long we had to wait for a total of 3 hours before we took possession of our vehicle which was longer duration than our flight from Manchester! The counter staff were pleasant enough but did not seem concerned at the significant delay and inconvenience caused to us all and provided no explanation or apology or information and why it all took so long.There was also a significant delay upon returning the vehicle when once again we had to attend the AVIS desk in arrivals.A lot of discussion and delay appeared to be caused by confusion re the excess insurance which needed to be explained and this could have been avoided if the staff were better able to communicate.The wait was extremely wearing and frustrating.
