I booked a VOLVO S60, and the order explicitly stated S60. However, when we got to the counter, they informed us that there was no S60 available and gave us a V40 instead. The car was quite average too. To make matters worse, when returning the car, we missed a gas station, and the fuel tank was only half full. For that half tank of V40 diesel, AVIS charged us 300 lira, almost 700 RMB, which is roughly 23 RMB per liter of diesel—a ridiculously high price. After a tough negotiation, we managed to get it down to 250 lira. Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with AVIS. I paid for a mid-sized car but got a compact car experience. Fortunately, we only had 3 people traveling; if there were 5, the trip would have been impossible. Additionally, being overcharged when returning the car was aggravating. If I weren't afraid of missing my flight, I would definitely have gone to find a gas station before returning the car. Choosing AVIS initially seemed like a good idea because of its reputed service and reliability, but it turned out no better than any other company, if not worse. More money spent for poor service.
Our group of 9 arrived at Kisseli Airport but didn't find the car rental company's pickup staff. We called the store, but the staff couldn't speak English. After seeking help from airport staff, the pickup arrived after 15 minutes. The pickup only took 3 of us to the car pickup point, which was 1 kilometer from the airport. At the location, there were only the boss and one staff member. They did not acknowledge the additional driver fee confirmed in our domestic order and doubled the price. They spent half an hour trying to sell us insurance, but we refused since we bought comprehensive insurance beforehand. The boss became impatient. After confirming the car, they took us for refueling and asked for a tip. Our remaining 7 companions waited for over an hour at the airport.
The service was alright. As other customers have mentioned, there was a push to sell insurance at the counter. Additionally, the one-way fee increased from 470 lira to 530 lira. Since the staff had poor English communication skills and I was in a hurry, I let it go.
We did a road trip in Turkey, and the rental company picked us up from the airport at 2 AM and also sent someone to the hotel for the car return. The service was excellent. Our car's side mirror was damaged when parked at a hotel in Goreme, and the rental company owner drove for over an hour with two other people to check the situation and assured us that the insurance would cover it completely, which was reassuring. However, during our drive, the car got a scratch, but since it was minor and we were in a rural area, we didn't report it. As a result, we had to pay 150 TL when returning the car.
The service was excellent and the company was very considerate. Since it was snowing heavily in Turkey at the time, the rental company intentionally adjusted the tire pressure to be a bit lower for us.
