I specifically chose a store in downtown Zagreb when booking the car and even picked nearby accommodation. But when we went to pick up the car, the store was closed. We had to trouble the landlord to take us by taxi to the airport store to get the car. This information was not updated online in time, wasting our money and time, and we got caught in a heavy rain.

I always use Avis when renting a car abroad. It's pretty good, but sometimes their process is quite slow.

The company's service is good, the procedures were handled quickly, and there are plenty of vehicles. I booked a Golf but received a brand new BMW 318 instead. They did not excessively upsell insurance products at the counter. Overall, I am satisfied.

The procedures were very smooth. They changed the pickup location to one closer to my hotel directly at the pickup site. However, the in-store staff suggested buying full insurance, which was quite expensive. The cost of full insurance for 9 days was the same as 9 days of car rental. Everything else was great. The car was relatively new.

We rented a car in Seville and a hotel staff member crashed into our car. The rental company immediately charged our credit card. We had purchased the super insurance from the rental company, but it's been three months, and they refuse to compensate us for various reasons. We regret not buying the rental company's full insurance. We've never had an accident before, and it feels like the rental company's insurance is a joke. I strongly recommend everyone to buy the rental company's insurance directly—do not purchase insurance from the rental company. Learn from my experience. It looks like I'll have to go through the insurance regulatory agency for this.

Average. The rental company didn't inform me in advance through any channel that I needed to bring two credit cards. They insisted, 'no card, no car,' which made me very angry. No matter how I explained or offered to pay a cash deposit, it didn't help. I had no choice but to return to the hotel to get another credit card. But what if I hadn't brought another one when I left the country? Would I have paid but not gotten the car? Unbelievable.

I have rented cars a few times before, and Barcelona Airport in Spain is the worst. I saw many reviews online saying that they rip off Chinese customers, either by forcing you to buy extra insurance at pick-up or by charging ridiculous fees for minor damages when returning the car. At the AVIS Barcelona Airport branch, I returned the car during business hours and requested an on-the-spot inspection, but the staff kept saying they were about to leave and asked me to leave the keys in a box. The next morning, I received a text message on the flight saying that my credit card was charged 678.91 euros due to damages. I'm sure I drove carefully and there were no damages. I have photos from the time of pick-up, and now we are going back and forth. Even though I bought full insurance, which should have been handled by the insurance company, I feel it is unfair to be falsely accused like this.

AVIS, as one of the leading global rental companies, engaged in deceptive practices during the car return process. They altered the return time and charged nearly 90 euros for a full tank of fuel despite the car being returned with a full tank. Thankfully, I kept the fuel receipt and dashboard photo from before the return, which allowed me to get the money refunded.
